What exactly would you like to know? Since the day I was
born 43 years ago we have always owned doxies. 5 pounds
is really way small for even a miniture doxie. All of mine have
usually weighed between 7 and 10 pounds. They are also
very loyal little dogs that bond closer with one person but
get along with the rest of the family. They are not always
but can be rather snappy with small children. Mine is with
strangers but not with anyone in the family including my
grand children who he rarely sees. Every one we have ever
had has been HORRIBLE to house train. You have to be very
careful in allowing them to jump from anything because of
their shape they are very prone to back injuries. Other than
that health wise they are pretty sturdy little dogs. My Oscar
is 9 years old and is experiencing some back problems but this
is the first thing he has needed in regard to medical attention
besides his annual checks and shots.
