Here's our little Dachshund! Her name is Sheetza, yes I know its the weirdest name for a dog, but that's the name we got her with. We actually got her quite young, about 8-9 months I think, one of our close friends gave her to us, and so we were less inclined to change a name that they had given to her.
From what we are told, she didn't have a very good puppyhood (before our friends got her), and as a direct result she tends to be fear aggressive of people and some dogs. Other than that, she fits the doxie description pretty well, she's a one person dog, wary of strangers, and a surprisingly loud barker!
We are currently working on her fear issues, we take her to the park every now and then for her to meet our friends, and we have them give her treats. It works exceedinly well up until someone tries to pet her...*sigh* everyone is inclined to pet a little dog... So we have to constantly tell people that petting her on the head will make her aggressive. It works...for some.
Hopefully I'll be blogging about her progress and challenges with her training in the future, in the mean time here are some pictures of her:
