Hi everyone,

I have been lurking for quite sometime and thought I would introduce myself and my new little friend. My name is Vicki and my DH and I have been talking about getting another dog some day, but we have had our first extended (3-4 months) motorhome trip planned and thought we should wait until this trip was over before we brought in a new family member. Our last dog died 12 years ago, he was a big beautiful Shepherd/Rotti mix. This time we agreed we wanted a non-shedder, female, and something a couple years old. Well three days before we left for our trip this little boy came into our lives. So we have a male, who sheds a little, and is still a puppy. He was at the local pound and was pulled from the euthanasia list for a second chance adoption. A lady I know took him so he wouldn't be put down, but she just couldn't keep him. So, meet Duncan. One paper I have says he is 8 months, another says he was born 12/2010. He has been on the road with us for one week now and is doing great. He isn't afraid of anything, isn't a barker, is house broken, leashed trained, and travels well (basically falls asleep). We were also able to crate train him already. I can't believe this little guy wasn't adopted early on, but I was told he was there for quite some time. The pound had him listed as a dachshund/chihuahua mix. I was kind of thinking more a dachshund/corgi mix.
