It certainly attracted Noodles, Tyler's father, into wedlock. Long-haired dachshunds are a breed unto themselves. They have curly deep red fur, about the color of an Irish setter, and long curly ears. There is nothing distinctive about their personalities, each dog I know has a personality all its own. Like people, no two dogs are alike.
Noodles is a loner, very proud.
When treats are handed out to the pack that shares our home, the other dogs crowd around trying to be the first to get to whatever the treat happens to be. Noodles sits apart and waits his turn. You won't find him begging. And if he gets teed off about something he will simply sit with his back to you and ignore you until you apologize. Olivia, on the other hand, just curls up and stares at you heart-broken until you console her.
