Sassy is Oak's daughter - she did NOT get his nose. This is the first time I have ever intentionally bred a dog and it was quite a difficult choice when faced with 5 little Oaks all begging to be taken home. I don't know how people can do it.
In any case, she is home with us and trying bravely to adjust to life without a snuggling pile of sisters. She is as big as my brother's 4 month old boxer but she doesn't have the governors in place to keep her from hurting him or Willow. Willow only weighs about 12 pounds and she can literally toss him across the room. (We hope it doesn't happen again.) Unfortunately, dachshunds are bred for valor and he keeps going back for more. She was born on December 17 which makes her 10 weeks, 2 days in these pictures.
This is the DOGS' couch - not ours.
