The one we had (it was my daughter's dog....)...barked constantly...at everything. Seems like a LEAF blowing on the driveway was all it took. I'm real happy that yours is quiet.
And warm? Oh yes...you can't ask for a warmer dog to have lay on you that a dachsund. (Or, maybe, my two GSD's at once?) Ha!
He’s like a lil brown electric blanket!
