Description:
Meet the Deagles! Barclay is a dachshund/beagle mix (d + beagle, deagle, get it?) He came from a high kill shelter with his siblings and parents. I don't think Barclay has been around people much, because he'll come up to you but then back away. We think a little bit of time will solve that. He's neutered, up-to-date on his shots, and all ready to be part of your family!

Foster Update 9/19: 

Barclay is a sweet and loving boy.  He loves to run and play loose in the yard.  He plays a “sort of” game of fetch.  He chases the ball every time you throw it, and he comes back to the same spot every time.  That spot is not necessarily where I’m standing, but if I go over to where he wants to bring it back, he’s happy to give it to me to throw again—and he’ll return each time to the same spot.  We’re working on “fetch” as in “bring the ball back to me,” but in the meantime, his version is fun, too.  He loves playing with the kids, and also with another puppy we are fostering.

When he’s not outside playing, he’s very calm and quiet.  He can sit with his head in your lap for a long time!  He prefers to sleep in a crate at night, and will whine if he can’t get to the crate when he’s ready for bed.  He’s not quite housebroken, but he doesn’t dirty  in his crate or his pen, so he really only has an accident when we slip up and let him roam the house when he’s got to go.

He is startled by sudden noise or jerky movements—a chair scraping the floor, the clatter of dishes, the AC clicking on when he’s outside next to it.  He doesn’t like being picked up without notice, and prefers if you get down and pet him a minute and then pick him up.  But he is never aggressive.  His fear reaction is always to hunker down or scuttle away, he never turns to nip or growl.

According to www.dogbreedinfo.com, the Dachshund (pronounced dak sund) originated in Germany many hundreds of years ago. "Dachs" is the word for badger. The Dachshund was bred to hunt and follow these animals to earth, gradually becoming highly evolved, with shortened legs to dig the prey out and go down inside the burrows. Smaller Dachshunds where bred to hunt hare and stoat. Dachshunds have many "terrier" characteristics. They are versatile and courageous dogs and have been known to take on foxes and otters, besides badgers. Lively and affectionate; proud and bold, almost rash. Tenacious. Can be willful and clownish. Curious and mischievous, they are very clever and may attempt to train the owner rather than allow the opposite. Devoted to his family, some fanciers feel the long-haired variety is calmer than the other two types. The wire-haired variety is more outgoing and clown-like. All are slightly difficult to train. Dachshunds are good dogs to travel with. They are best with older, considerate children and are moderately protective. These little dogs like to bark (their barks are surprisingly loud for their size) and are compulsive diggers. They are generally okay with other pets, however, they can be jealous, irritable, obstinate and very quick to bite. Sometimes they will refuse to be handled. They should not be over fed, for this breed tends to gain weight quickly. They have a life expectancy of 12-15 years.
