What a great picture! This is Mr. Oscar, Kara Mantz' newest family member. Mr. Oscar is a Dachshund puppy who was born on June 2, 2005. He is pictured here at his first Puppy Plan appointment (with a new special toy) on August 12th when he weighed 3.3 pounds. Kara tells us that her family also has a German Shepherd. The problem is that the Shepherd is scared of this sweet new puppy - maybe he has heard the reputation of the take-charge Dachshunds!!!
