About Poppy and Leroy
Poppy (11 years) and Leroy (13 years) have lovely temperaments and an abundance of love to share. They are both universally friendly dogs to babies, toddlers, children, familiar people and strangers. While Poppy is comfortable with most dogs Leroy has an affinity for his own breed. Neither enjoys being approached by larger, energetic or exuberant dogs and will respond by barking to chase them away.
If you are seeking affectionate, companion dachshunds to share your daily life look no further than Leroy and Poppy. They love being nearby their special humans especially if there is a lap upon which to snuggle. Both dachshunds have perfected the art of procuring cuddles, pats and belly rubs. Poppy uses beguiling eyes while smoochy Leroy has mastered bedroom or doe eyes to seek affection.
Although Poppy and Leroy are described as “two peas in a pod”, such is their attachment to one another, they do have unique traits. Leroy has a manly swagger and will comment on the world or converse with you through groans and expressive vocalisations. This little scamp is also a thief who has a preference for clothing items, particularly underwear! Leroy has endured stomach surgery in the past to remove ingested items. Poppy has also undergone surgery, but for an IVDD incident in September 2020. She is a 'real trooper' who showed stoicism and resilience while enduring pain, long periods of crate rest and difficult rehabilitation activities.
Leroy and Poppy’s ideal home would have the following:
A single level home in a quiet area -without high density housing
A family of 2+ people, who are at home often, with at least one person being about most of the day
Active and fit owners who enjoys daily walks for 30 mins or more
Owners who who want companion dogs to enrich their lives and who enjoy providing affection in the form of pats, belly rubs, cuddles, lap time or playing games such as tug of war.
As both dachshunds have a strong prey drive no cats , small pets or birds.
Leroy and Poppy would love to be the only only dogs in the household, so they can be the recipients of all the attention.
Leroy and Poppy are looking for a home in NSW or the ACT. No Interstate travel.
