do it! ma's friend up north has one and he's such a character. Intelligent, a little rascal, affectionate, and a small dog. Watching my 80# dog play with this 2# dog was hysterical. He'd jump over her back as she laid on the floor. He'd bite her ears and her jowly lips and she would just shove her nose into the ground and make growly noises. She played so gently with him it was great.

Gotta say the time I spent with the wirehaird dach. was wonderful. Loved him and he could fly in the cabin with me! Unlike my pony in her 30# crate in pressurized cargo area.

another bonus of these little powerhouses? They have attitude! They aren't aware of their size and my previous shepherd would avoid one yard on our walks because a dach. lived there and would charge the fence. She didn't like that as she was used to being the alpha beast. Guess little dog trumped her on that one *lol*
