Rosie is a fabulous, approx 5yr old dachshund girl. She is totally house trained. She is great with other dogs male or female her size. She is ok with her alone time in her own chair. :)  She is not good with cats. And we would hesitate to have her around young children. At first she is a bit shy , but when she knows she's safe and loved she just blossoms into a beautiful bubbly personality.
