i love my 2 wiener dogs and these are the 4th ones i have had and none of them have a mean bone in their body. is yours old?? My oldest one was heidi and she lasted for 16 yrs before she died naturally. i love wiener dogs. my puppy zena is 9 mo and the first long hair i have gotten. her mother was a long hair and her father a smooth so they call her a tweeny.
