Dachshund puppies and dogs in Bardstown, Kentucky

Dior is a very special dog. I’ve had Dior since he was eight weeks old. He is very particular about what he wants. He likes to play. He is a dog who likes physical touch. He loves a treat. He does get emotionally attached. Dior turns six on November 12. He loves babies. He’s very protective over kids, but also very territorial over his toys.

Cooper was a rescue that was definitely abused before we got him. He has high anxiety and needs a place to live his last years in where people will be home with him. I took a job that requires me to be away too often, and he cannot handle the seperation. He is very protective of his people and if they are not around him, he worries. He needs a calm environment to just relax in. He does well with cats and kids over 5, but has growled and snipped at our 3 year old, which is why we need to find him a new home. Overall he is a good dog with anxiety issues. We tried multiple medicines from the vet and none worked. He just needs a home where he is not alone too long, and sadly we cannot provide that anymore.
