Thank you for your interest in Giovanni. AT-A-GLANCE: Giovanni is ready to go home with the right family. Gio is a kaninchen/small male! At 12 weeks, he weighs only 4lbs! He was born on 2/3/26 to Kingpindoxies Doroteya and Litl Fut Qaletaqa. He showcases a soft, long coat that waves ; long ears and snout, short legs, and long, sausage-shaped body, with a happy tail that wags everytime he makes eye-contact with us. PERSONALITY AND EARLY INTERESTS: Giovanni is a sweetheart, playful, and human-oriented puppy who loves to be included. Giovanni has exceptional bedside manners. All he wants to do is hang out with you, be on on your lap. He will stay still when told to stay. He will saty on your lap and behave while watching TV or getting a brush (he loves it!) Very affectionate and laid back. Comes quickly when called. We call him Gio. LIFE STYLE AND CRATING: Giovanni is accstumed to nighttime crating and daytime activities in a safe home environment. We also spend time with him outside playing ball and throwing sticks which he loves to catch, and doing basic leash training. He has had his first car ride/sight seeing which he did very well. No upsets. We would only place him in a home that does not rely on routine daytime crating. For this reason alone, we strongly prefer families working from home or retired. Families with outdoor lifestyle are preferred for Giovanni. PEDIGREE/LINEAGE: Giovanni's pedigree is well documented by European champion bloodlines. This will be evident on the copy of his AKC pedigree cretificate we will send home along with his AKC registration. Giovanni's dad and grandfather were sired by Euopean champions. EXPECTED ADULT SIZE: Giovanni is tracking beautifully on the smaller end of the miniature dachshund range. Based on his current growth pattern, we expect him to mature around 8–10 lbs full grown. He has maintained a consistent, healthy growth rate, which is exactly what we like to see in well-bred puppies from established lines. His size places him in that highly sought-after “true miniature” category. We do weekly weight ins.

NUTRITION: We feed all of our puppies Prurina Pro Plan Puppy food with DHA. In your go home, we include a sealed sample of the dry and a can and lid for the wet form. We only feed the dry kibbles. We use Badlands Ranch as a topper and treat for training. We also takes a teaspoon of cottage cheese every morning.

HEALTH/GENETICS/VET STATUS: Giovanni is PRA non-affected by genetic heritage and genetically, he is cleared by inheritance of all tested conditions, except for those intrinsic to the breed. Giovanni's father is IVDD clear and his mother is PRA clear. Giovanni has passed vet screenings and was issued a Florida Health certification. He will go home uptodate on shots. Giovanni has also been micropchipped and his family will have a lifetime Buddy ID microchip service free of charge for them.

HOME PLACEMENT EXPECTATIONS: We strongly prefer buyers with a flexible working schedule, such as working from home or retired; Children are okay, but the older, the better. Families living in a house with fenced in yards for supervised playtime a must. Buyers experienced with breed are a plus but we are not discouraging anyone who doesn't. We are here to educate.Absolutely no public parks until Gio is fully covered against parvo, but he will be safe in your own backyard with your auptodate on shot pets. Apartments and townhouses may be okay depending on buyer's lifestyle. Wee pads of fake grass pads would be the best until his parvo vaccine schedule is complete.
