Peggy
About This Dog
Peggy's ideal home
Peggy is a tiny little 1-year-5-month-old miniature smooth-haired Dachshund with a big love for her people. She can be shy when you first meet her, but she warms up quickly. Peggy is wonderfully affectionate and people-orientated, happiest tucked in close beside you or perched on your lap for a cuddle. She’s also absolutely fine being picked up and carried, and while she can be a little shaky at times when she’s unsure, she settles with reassurance and a calm, steady routine.
At home Peggy is more of a “sit with you” girl than a toy lover. She’ll follow you around the house and choose a spot right near you, and she sleeps nicely in her dog bed in the bedroom. In the early morning she may politely ask to hop onto the bed for an extra snooze, but she’s not overly persistent when redirected back to her own bed. Peggy is reliably clean in the house, toilets well outside, and in the garden she prefers grass over gravel for toileting.
Peggy enjoys her walks most when they’re calm and quiet. When there are no distractions, she walks nicely on lead, but she can be vocal when she spots people or other dogs, then settles again once she has space. Because of this, Peggy would love a home in a quiet area with adopters who can help her build confidence around the outside world using gentle, reward-based training and sensible distance.
Peggy would prefer to be the only pet in the home, can live with secondary school-aged children, and will need a private garden so she can potter about safely. She also travels well, but she’ll need careful, secure handling when getting in and out of the boot as she can be a bit quick. If you’re looking for a devoted little shadow who just wants to be close to her person, Peggy could be your perfect tiny companion. AWE licence number 13090 by West Lothian Council.
