Dachshund
About Momma
Big Momma got her name because when she was a puppy, she hogged all the milk from the other puppies, and she would nudge all the other puppies off of their momma. She is our 3rd generation female from lines that date back to when my Pa started raising doxies 20 years ago. She would spend all day wrapped in a blanket on the couch if you'd let her, unless she sees a rabbit in the yard and then she moves faster than a cheetah!
