Good News Update. After talking it over with my husband - I have decided to go with my first choice of breeds (Boston Terrier) but don't plan to get a puppy until early 2013 due to how busy life is right now. Boston's are way more expensive than a dachshund which is why I was leaning towards a Boston but my hubby said that if you are going to make a 15+ year commitment - you better get what you really want.

I have been in touch with a good breeder and have put a deposit for pick of the litter come 2013. I am super excited about getting a new puppy and I have plenty of time to get projects done at home, plus purchase all the supplies I will need to properly care for her. Another plus is that my vacation time at work starts over in Jan. and I want to spend at least the first 2 weeks home with her getting the potty training off to a good start.

Just wanted to let you all know how this ended up.
