We would like to introduce a wonderful friend of CHAH, Joy Bowling, and her new baby, Gracie. Gracie is a Miniature Dachshund puppy who was born on August 2, 2005. She is shown here on October 13 at her first Puppy Plan appointment when she weighed 3.9 pounds of pure energy! Joy and her husband, Ron, have had many wonderful dogs throughout the years, including Minnie Mouse, who was also a miniature Dachshund. Many people here remember how she used to put the Police K9s in their places! We are certain that this cutie will be just as bossy, she just has to grow a little! Gracie has one of the newer coat colors for Dachshunds, called "Wild Boar" - it is an interesting mixture of colors and dapples, and it will be fun to watch this pretty puppy grow up!
