No, he is not a Dachshund; we are just trying to help a friend in her search for a good home for this young man. Toby is a Chihuahua mix. He was a bit remote at first, but his softer side was worth the wait..now hes a champion snuggle bee and loves exclusive rights to your lap. He would work better in a home with no big dogs and no children. Apply online at www.dachshundloversoftexas.org.
