About Ziggy

Ziggy is a sweet soul with a lot of love to give! She would make an absolutely delightful companion, and will thrive with someone who enjoys her affectionate, cuddly personality. Ziggy has a bright, curious nature and thoroughly enjoys exploring her surroundings. She is an intelligent and determined dachshund, so she needs a secure yard to keep her safe when curiosity calls! 
Ziggy would flourish in a home that offers:

  • A lot of love and affection - she would thrive with a companion to play with! 
  • Routine environment with a commitment to her ongoing training 
  • A yard with a high fence is a must to ensure this little explorer is secure. 

 Current Training

  • House Training: Ziggy has been reliably using a mat and/or the yard - accidents may occur on occasion. 
  • Lead Skills & Commands: Ziggy is learning her lead skills - she is determined & loves to explore so we are still working on reducing pulling.  Ziggy responds well to her name or “come” command, especially when treats are involved (greenies are a favourite!). We are working on mastering other commands (e.g sit, bed) and she would benefit from continued training. 
  • Social Skills: Ziggy appears to socialise well with most other dogs - she may bark in response to others but will warm up when given time. Ziggy is getting along with her 2 foster brothers and has lived well with other dogs previously. She also loves meeting new people and is very eager for a cuddle!
  • Ziggy has been in foster with a toddler and 2 teens so would suit a family, there was outdoor cats which did not seem to faze her.

Daily care

  • Diet: Ziggy is fed 2x a day (currently has Ziwi Peak mixed with Royal Canin).
  • Exercise/Play/Leisure: Enjoys regular walks and active playtime, with ample time to explore! 
  • Sleep: Sleeps through the night. Has responded beautifully to crate training, but she will not turn down a snuggly snooze with her humans if she’s allowed!
  • Health Status
  • Microchipped
  • Fully Vaccinated
  • Flea, tick & worming completed 
  • Dental Checked
  • Veterinary Checked 
  • Ziggy is booked in for desex on 08/08/25
