My breeder made a promise to my owner – when my mother was still a puppy, he promised her a puppy from her first litter. Well Carla didn’t forget it!

Just a few days after I was born, Carla and João Silvino came to visit me and my brothers and sisters. Two and a half months latter, I got to know my new friends in my new home.

They already had a Dachshund like me, Nikko, but he was an older dog with little patience for kids! Fortunately I had the company of the Estrela Mountain Dogs and later of Lupiini, my company for adventures!

After the usual puppy stage, now I’m a well behaved and mannered “lady”. I even participated in an internacional course on dog training, but I just can’t get rid of one habit – I love to chew papers (but only those in the recycle bin)!

Outdoors I am very different. I have a sharp hunting instinct. So much that I am currently on “holidays” in Finland, at Track-Action kennel, where I am learning to use my instincts well and taken to compete in hunting trials. And they even say I am having very promising results! What did they expect?! I am a Dachshund in body, heart and soul! :-)
