Our female short red hair dachshund still acts like a 6 year old dog. She loves to play. She is a hunter. She caught a mouse a week ago. I had just fed her and she was outside taking care of business and she caught and killed the mouse. I guess she was too full to eat it. At least there was no mouse guts. Just a whole mouse to flush.
This is her 15 years ago.
This a couple of years ago.
