NELLY was gotten off NASHVILLE FREECYCLE where the owner was giving her away free. I contacted the owner in the hopes of saving NELLY from who knows what, more breeder, bait for pitbulls or abuse. I was told she was dachshund but she is more CHI than dachshund but still deserves a good life. She does appear to be housetrained if let out on a schedule. She loves to sleep in the big bed and watch TV; well ok, she sleeps while you watch TV but NELLY would be great for an older couple that want a small adult dog. She is a fear biter so would not be good with small children or any children under 16 yrs. Once she knows you she is sweet and just a character. You just have to look at her ears!! If you are interested in NELLY or need more info please e mail.

Good with Dogs, Not Good with Cats, Is Not Good with Kids
AADR does not recommend dachshunds for families with children under 5, or families planning to have children during the dog's lifetime. Dachshunds are often not patient with little kids, and kids can accidentally hurt a dachshund's back or get bitten.
