| He's a mixed Tan-and-Black Dachshund with some Bassett, Lab and maybe some Percheron. Snickers lives with his best friend Doug Love and a number of Fish, trees and plants in Greenbelt, Maryland. He came through Dachshund Rescue of North America Inc., at the age of about 18 months. |  Doug holds Snickers in the front yard. Snickers has a nice, deep voice, and frequently calls to other neighbor dogs. He has been told to not do that before dawn, and largely behaves. But his voice can reach supersonic levels. Rather than being a talking dog like predecessors Foxy and Benjamin, he is a singing dog! And Doug sings back to him. |

| We know that he's part Bassett from his large pronate front paws, and he has the standard black and cream markings of a Dachshund. (Especially those spots above his eyes. Naturalist Sherna Comerford says he has his paws crossed and his eyes dotted.) He loves to dig, and helps Doug in the yard. He came partially trained and completely housebroken, and Doug is trying to train him further. Doug put a small light on his collar and takes him cave exploring, but Snickers doesn't have much interest in that yet. He still has a few bad habits, such as biting people that haven't been properly introduced, but he is getting over it. | |||
