Here's what the humans have to say about me:
HIGGINS***CONTACT KAT katkylabrescue@gmail.com HIGGINS-"THE PERFECT COMPANION--SO SWEET--LOVING AND SOOOOO ADORABLE WITH HIS "MELT YOUR HEART" FACE!!" HIGGINS IS THE CUTEST 8 MO., 12 LB., MINIATURE "DOXLE" THE DOXLE IS THE COMBINATION OF A MINIATURE DACHSHUND AND A BEAGLE IT DOESN'T GET ANY CUTER THEN THIS!! DON'T PLAN ON KEEPING YOUR HEART WHEN YOU MEET HIGGINS BECAUSE WITHIN MINUTES YOU WILL FALL IN LOVE WITH THIS PRECIOUS LITTLE FELLOW WITH HIS "MELT YOUR HEART" FACE--WE DID!!! THE FIRST THING YOU WILL NOTICE IS WHAT A BEAUTIFUL LITTLE FELLOW HE IS. HIS COAT IS CUDDLE SOFT THE COMBINATION OF TWO BEAUTIFUL COLORS, WARN SOFT FAWN AND SPARKLING SNOW WHITE, YOU WILL WANT TO HOLD, PAT AND CUDDLE THIS LITTLE "SNUGGLE BUG" ALL DAY WHICH AS MUCH AS HE LOVES ATTENTION AND AFFECTION IS JUST FINE WITH HIM. HIGGINS ALSO HAS SOME OF THE MOST BEAUTIFUL EYES WE HAVE SEEN, THEY ARE "HUGE", A RICH, DARK CHESTNUT COLOR POSSESSING A GENTLE, KIND, LOOK THAT SEEMS TO BE SAYING "LOVE ME"--IN OUR OPINION IMPOSSIBLE NOT TO!!! ALTHOUGH HIGGINS MAY NOT BE THE BIGGEST OF PUPS HE MAKES UP FOR THIS WITH THE MOST LOVING AND SWEETEST PERSONALITY EVER. HIGGINS GIVES TRUE MEANING TO THE WORD "COMPANION" HE IS WHAT WE CALL A "SOFT" DOG, AN AFFECTIONATE, DEVOTED AND EXTREMELY LOVING PUP. HE HAS A GENTLE DISPOSITION, SO SWEET, A COMPLETE JOY TO BE AROUND. HIGGINS'S TRUE HAPPINESS IS BEING WITH HIS FAMILY. HIGGINS IS ALSO A VERY SOCIAL LITTLE GUY WHO ADORES THE COMPANY OF EVERY ONE HE MEETS JUST SAY A KIND WORD TO THIS TINY PUP OR OFFER HIM A TREAT HIS FLOPPY EARS WILL PERK UP(SEE PHOTO)AND THE NEXT THING YOU KNOW THIS LITTLE FELLOW IS ALL CUDDLED UP IN YOUR LAP. HIGGINS IS A PUP YOU COULD TAKE ANYWHERE AND HE WOULD MAKE YOU PROUD, BETTER ALLOW A LITTLE EXTRA TIME WHEN FOLKS SEE THIS LITTLE CHARMER. HIGGINS ALSO ADORES THE COMPANY OF OTHER DOGS, IT DOESN'T MATTER WHAT SIZE HIS ONLY REQUEST IS THAT THEY WILL PLAY WITH HIM!!!(HE'S EVEN FINE WITH CATS) IN FACT HIGGINS SPENDS HIS DAY PLAYING WITH HIS LITTLE "DOXLE" BUDDY GATSBY(ALSO ON OUR SITE) THERE IS NOTHING CUTER THEN TO WATCH HIGGINS AND GATSBY RUN, TUMBLE CHASING THEIR TOYS!! HIGGINS TRULY IS THE ULTIMATE COMPANION, WHATEVER YOU DAY CALLS FOR JUST MAKE THIS LITTLE FELLOW A PART OF IT. HIGGINS WOULD ADORE AN EARLY MORNING WALK TO THE DOGGIE PARK, JUST A CHANCE FOR HIM TO MEET A NEW PLAY BUDDY. EVEN THOUGH HIGGINS IS A TINY LITTLE GUY THIS LITTLE FELLOW CAN KEEP UP WITH YOU AND WE BET HE WILL MATCH YOU STEP FOR STEP. A CAR RIDE TO RUN ERRANDS AROUND TOWN JUST OPEN THE CAR DOOR SCOOP UP THIS LITTLE FELLOW AND GO. HIGGINS WILL FIND HIS SEAT, TURN THAT ADORABLE HEAD TO ONE SIDE AND GIVE YOU HIS "COME ON LET'S GO" LOOK. HIGGINS DOESN'T ALWAYS KNOW WHERE HE IS GOING AND IT DOESN'T REALLY MATTER TO HIM, HIS TRUE HAPPINESS IS JUST BEING WITH YOU. THERE IS ANOTHER PART TO THIS PUP'S PACKAGE AND IT IS APPARENT AFTER SPENDING JUST A SHORT TIME WITH HIGGINS THE DACHSHUND AND BEAGLE ARE TWO OF THE SMARTEST OF BREEDS AND BOY HIGGINS IS SOOOO SMART!!! HE IS A VERY ALERT LITTLE FELLOW ALWAYS AWEAR OF HIS SURROUNDINGS, SHOW HIGGINS SOMETHING NEW AND HE WANTS TO KNOW WHAT IT IS AND WHAT IT DOES. HE IS A PUP THAT IS EAGER TO LEARN, LEARNS EXTREMELY FAST BUT MOST IMPORTANT DELIGHTS IN PLEASING WHICH MAKES TRAINING A BREEZE. THE SKY'S THE LIMIT WITH THIS EXCEPTIONAL LITTLE GUY. AT DAY'S END WHEN YOU AND HIGGINS HAVE SPENT THE DAY RUNNING ERRANDS, TAKING LONG WALKS, NAPPED ON HIS DECK WHILE YOU WORKED IN YOUR GARDEN WHEN HIGGINS COMES INSIDE HIS HOME HE CONTINUES TO SHINE. HE WILL CURL UP IN A BALL AS CLOSE TO YOU AS HE CAN GET AND NAP, CONTENT JUST BEING WITH HIS FAMILY, HIS EASY AND LOVING NATURE MAKES HIM JUST A JOY TO BE AROUND. WHEN IT'S TIME FOR BED HE WILL SNUGGLE IN HIS SOFT, FLUFFY BED JUST AS LONG AS IT'S AS CLOSE TO YOUR BED AS HE CAN GET BUT WE BET IF YOU WANTED A CUDDLE SOFT SLEEPING BUDDY ONE WHO DOESN'T TAKE UP ANY ROOM AT ALL LITTLE HIGGINS WOULD OBLIGE. HIGGINS ONLY HAS ONE WISH AND THOSE "LOVE ME" HUGE EYES TOLD US THIS THE FIRST TIME WE SAW HIM, HE WANTS "TO BELONG." HE WANTS TO BE A PART OF A FAMILY WHO WILL SEE WHAT A TREASURE HE IS AND LOVE HIM. WE FEEL THAT HE WOULD BE A GREAT COMPANION FOR A RETIRED COUPLE, SINGLE GUY OR GIRL OR A FAMILY WITH GENTLE CHILDREN WHO WOULD SPEND TIME HOLDING, PATTING, PLAYING WITH AND LOVING HIGGINS. HIGGINS IS A DEVOTED LITTLE FELLOW, ONE WHO IS THERE FOR YOU 100%. HE IS A PUP WHO IS LOVING, DEEPLY TRUSTING AND LOVES WITH EVERY FIBER OF HIS BEING. HE ONLY ASK FOR A SOFT PLACE TO LAY HIS HEAD AND WHEN HE CURLS UP AT NIGHT HE JUST WANTS TO HEAR "HIGGINS WE LOVE YOU" SPOKEN TO HIM AND HE WILL BLINK THOSE BIG BEAUTIFUL EYES, WAG HIS TAIL AND WE KNOW THIS IS HIS WAY OF SAYING "I LOVE YOU TOO" THIS LITTLE FELLOW WITH THE "BIG" HEART AND SPIRIT IS A DREAM!!!!
