Trigger was my brindle, four year old dachshund. He was nearly two feet long and about nine inches tall, which classified him as a standard sized dachshund. We got Digger in Oakdale, California, in a rodeo from a young teenager who was giving a litter away, on October 11, 2011, when he was only about two months old. 

He loved to take long walks and drives, hunt birds and rabbits, going to the beach, and eating. His routine consisted of waking up early in the morning to run around the yard with my other dogs, and sitting down in the middle of the yard at night to howl for about half an hour. Unfortunately, he passed away in November of 2015.

 

 

Lexie is my nearly nine-month old dog, born on April 15, 2018. She is a red female dachshund who loves playing with her raccoon stuffed animal, stealing food from my niece and I, chase my chickens, goats, or other dog around, or simply bark and run away from people. She’s an energetic, crazy, stubborn, and smart dog, who has the fastest little legs that I have ever seen.

I got Lexie on July 14, 2018, in the summer. When I got her, she was only two months old, almost three; she seemed to be a sweet, quiet, and innocent dog when I first met her, although for the most part now, she is not quiet or innocent, occasionally sweet. She was born in Madera, California and has three younger siblings, all male- she is the oldest of her litter. Today, she is about five inches tall and over a foot long.
