our pup Rusty was bought by mum as a mini daschund...but as he grew his hair grew out in a very non daschund way. the breeder had him tested and turned out when his mini bitch was in heat his stud poodle connected. has made for an interesting mini daschund. he's got a long body...but he's a lot wider than he should be, same with his head, much wider. there's nothing slim about him. I love his hair though...grows out into curly waves and it just flows as he moves. I keep bugging my wife we need to take him out for some glam shots!
