Awww..... That is so Sweet of you!! I think it's a great idea.
Dachshunds aren't really my breed of choice, either... My sister has "3" of them. I did see one, yesterday that I really liked. It was a long haired one and it was Completely Black. Not the black brown... but all Black. Its coat was really thick and shiney and it was such a happy sweet doggie. It was adorable!
