Is lawn-repair one of your hobbies? Do you like dogs in miniature hats? Then the Dachs is your "hund"! Lively and affectionate, bold and tenacious, the Dachshund likes to clown around. But watch out for its homebody tendency to put on pounds (so much spine, so little dog!). The Dachshund is a great traveler and will love your favorite open-air cafe.

This Fuzzy Nation Dachshund is very low maintenance, because it's actually a purse! This 12" (Teacup size) Puppy Purse from Fuzzy Nation sports a dog tag, collar, and a 19” chain strap. Its plush fur is very soft and realistically colored. There's a zipper on its back, and inside is a glamorous black satin lining decorated with dragonflies. On its left back paw is another glamorous touch -- some sparkly rhinestones!

Famous Dachshund owners: Marlon Brando, Patricia Arquette, Pablo Picasso.
