...our miniature dachshunds...
You post made me laugh. We have 2 doxies now. We acquired my daughter's 10 year old female just a few months ago. She's really adapted to our lifestyle. Our's original is a male, 6 years old and lovable as can be ... but wow! do they get into mischief!!!! Turn your head and .... wham! They're into something! Adding the second one, and they became a lean, mean, running machine duo, plotting and conniving together just to see how fast they can get one over on us. No pens for this duo now. The two together will figure out how to knock it over and then come running to us.
Still, you've got to really love those little guys, don't you!
x2 on the mini doxie thing. they are a wonderful unique breed for sure. we have a female mini doxie and 3 chihuahua mixes that travel with us. we use 3 wire type pens hooked together for a small yard in front of camper. we wrap it around so that its against the camper to the steps on both sides, then a wide board underneath the steps so they cant escape. we don't leave them unattended outside the camper. they travel well and so far have had no problems or complaints. if the wife and i leave the campground we leave the ac fan running to make background noise so they don't bark.
the advantage for small dogs is it would be a pain in the rear end to walk 4 dogs. they do their business in the fence yard, easy cleanup.
the number one reason we bought a TT was the fact that we can take them traveling with us. plus neither of us care to stay in a hotel. we like our own home on wheels, bathroom, shower and bed especially.
if we had large dogs we would walk them on leash.
