Dirk needs a new forever home

DIRK NEEDS A FOREVER HOME

ctive boy so will need a home to accommodate this, but he will make you smile. He is funny, albeit a bit stubborn and needs to be busy.

Dirk is 21 months old, castrated and has all the

required vaccines. He is a great addition to an active family; he is good with children, or equally, he would be content to live with a single person who is looking for a loyal companion.

As with most teckels, Dirk is a highly intelligent dog and understands exactly what his owner wants from him. But, as an independently

thinking dog, he leaves some room to decide for himself what he

will gain from that cue and weighs up the pros and cons and what he will get out of it — typical

dachshund!

Dirk is an active and very energetic dog that needs both physical

and mental stimulation on a daily basis. He loves nothing more

than being out the whole day for long walks, hikes and adventures

in nature together with his person (and other dogs).

Since Dirk is a hunting dog, fun games and exercises using his nose – especially in the forest – are the best way to keep him happy and to release his energy. Dirk needs an owner who will spend

most of his day with him, preferably outside in nature, exploring life together, and has a big garden for Dirk to get the stimuli and exercise he needs.

Dirk is by no means a lap dog — He needs to

work, explore and be busy. Otherwise, he gets bored easily and

looks for a job to do himself, and that usually results in some

trouble.

We are looking for someone who knows, understands and loves teckels for what they are and maybe even has another one at

home. Since Dirk is very playful and gets along with other dogs, that would be a plus but not a must (preferably female)

Dirk is the funniest little guy. It’s hard not to love this dog; he knows

exactly how to charm everyone, as well as manipulate to get his

way if he needs to do so.

He needs someone who will challenge
