Nope, still no name yet, but the only reason there wasn't a post yesterday is I wasn't home to write one! I picked up other half at 4:30 and we drove down to the breeder to pick him up. I managed to drive over a large-ish curb-thing because other half insisted we stop for Arby's. I thought for sure the car was damaged, but apparently lucked out. Sounded bad, though, and of course that was only about half way through the trip.
I was exhausted by the time we finally got there - took about an hour and a half to get there after a particularly long and brutal day, so puppy-therapy was just what I needed.
He had his vet visit today and checked out just fine. He's a li'l crybaby when he thinks he's alone, but he and Scraps are playing and having a grand time. Our female doxie, as we suspected, really doesn't have ANY maternal instinct other than to worry if he cries. Otherwise, she's actually scared of him.
I'm sure more pictures and perhaps some video will follow in the weeks to come.
Meanwhile, I still have to finish yesterday's post about Star Wars books .... :)

I. WANT. ONE! He is gorgeous. I don't think I ever seen a dachshund with those kind of markings. Maybe you should name him Lego or Yoda.

So cute! Fascinating markings. Will they stay like that or fade as he gets older?
Red Monkey says: He's a chocolate dapple, so the markings will stay. The proportions will probably change, but he'll stay all mottled-looking like that.June 11, 2009 7:46 PM
Oh! What a darling! Chocolate dapples aren't very common are they?
Red Monkey says: Dapples in general are not too common because you have to be careful not to breed two dapples together - even if one is carrying the recessive gene. A double-dapple runs a greater risk for having vision, hearing or other health issues.June 11, 2009 7:57 PM
