....and OMG, your dogs are so so so cute!!!! and I agree about the collarMine wear harnesses. I believe tgat collars put too much strain on their necks, and can increase the likelihood of IVDD.

I'm actually very surprised that so many people here do put harnesses on their dachshunds.I know very many dachshund breeders,I take my dogs to shows,working trials,I know TONS of people who owns,shows,works and breeds their dachshunds and all of them knows that harnesses are bad for dachshund backs and elbows. I knew one dachshund who had harness,I saw him while he was a puppy,and told her owner that dogs with such long back can't wear harness,she didn't listen,I moved to the other side of city,but after a year on a walk I met the same lady with the same dog.He looked terribly!His back was arched and elbows turned out,he definitely wasn't like that as a puppy!I haven't seen ANY dog who had some problems because of collar.I am new to doxies and I've seen them with harnesses in my area all the time, but the breeder I got my baby from told me absolutely no harness, it hurts their back... I have no opinion other than I have to trust what she tells me as she is very experienced in the breed. Having said that, my Zoya does pull sometimes but she is only 4 months old so I am still training her to walk next to me...
