About Tex
Meet Tex 🐾
DOB: 8 April 2023
Breed: Standard Dachshund
Colour: Chocolate
Tex is a gorgeous, people-loving Dachshund with a sweet personality and an affectionate temperament. He is house-trained, crate-trained, and sleeps beautifully through the night. Tex barks when appropriate and is generally well-mannered, but he is not suited to a home with cats.
Tex loves car rides — especially hanging his head out the window with the breeze on his face. He enjoys outings, playtime, and is always up for an adventure. Balls, the beach, and a good game are high on his list of favourite things.
In the evenings, Tex has the sweetest habit of snuggling on the couch, burrowing in behind you with just his little head poking out — classic Dachshund charm at its finest. He is treat-motivated, easy to train, well-mannered and good on leash.
Tex loves his people deeply and can become jealous if he feels he has to share their attention, particularly with another male dog in the home. In that situation, he will mark his territory. For that reason, Tex would be best suited as an only dog, where he can have all the love and attention to himself, or possibly with a compatible female dog.
Tex would do best in a single-level home with limited steps, a secure yard, and with someone who is home most of the time. He is suitable for a home with older primary-school-aged children or teenagers.
Playful, affectionate and utterly lovable, Tex is the kind of dog who quickly becomes the centre of your world. If you are looking for a loyal little companion who will adore being part of your daily life, Tex might just be your perfect match. 💛
