I am allergic to just about every animal there is, including our Spekkle.... It was recommend to me to switch Spekkle to "Avoderm" food.... And this may not be the best food around... However it has helped with my allergies soo much that Spekkle never effects them!! She gets a bath about once a...

Spekkle was really bad when we first got her about going in the crate, I was her 3rd owner in 3months, and I don't think she had ever been set down... But I would put her crate a few feet from the t.v, add several blankets so she could make her bed... And the longs work great!!! She still has...

I am so sorry to hear this about your baby... I have never heard this about the dachshund breed, however I have heard something similar about the dobermans, and its caused by over breeding.... Hopefully there will be something that can help your little one...

It's funny.Spekkle is soo tiny and won't even go out the door in the colder weather, unless carried in her duffel bag with blankets or sunggled with me!! She just refuses. I got her from a family that claimed they were moving so she was going to end up at the shelter, and I found out that they...

Spekkle has just decided that she is going to be a house dog unless it is dry outside! I can't get her out even to go potty... And if we get ready to go somewhere she goes into her doggy duffel bag with a diaper on!! Crazy as it may seem... It's the only way she will leave the house if it is...

Spekkle is quite funny... She will go outside if it is dry, and sunny.... However we live in Seattle!! So especially during the winter months this is not often... But this is also not from my lack of trying... She will get to the door, but the second I open it runs if she feels the cold or...

So an update on Spekkle!!! She will not go outside to go potty if it is either cold or wet out!! So we have been buying the wonderful and expensive puppy pads... And well we have not had any accidents on my floor in a while (except when we don't change the pad fast enough for her liking)...

That was some nice information.. I had been wondering if Spekkle was going to get much bigger... She is just over 6 months and all of just over 4 lbs soaking wet.... She seems so small compared to other minis that I have seen... But the vet says she isn't under weight... I do remember them...

We are officially into our cold weather here, and I have looked at sweaters rainjackets for Spekkle here and nothing seems to be made to fit a dachshund! I can find what would be a great size for her, but when we try it on... well the places for the back legs are in the wrong spot for her... and...

Update on Spekkle So Miss Spekkle was spayed just before she turned 5 months old, and now she is turning 6 months old tomorrow!! Hard to believe that we have had our gorgeous baby for 3 months already!! Anyway.. We have definately had our ups and downs, and they have all been centered around...

Has anyone tried feeding "Avoderm"? It was recommended to me because, well for starters I have been feeding Spekkle (our super stubborn, deaf, double dapple, longhair) "Puppy Chow"... and she was doing good, however in the last few weeks Spekkle has had some killer death breath, and I had...

Our vet was able to notice the discrepancy in Spekkle... And in one of the posts on here another person was saying her double dapple has sensitivity to light....

My Spekkle has the same colored eyes, and her vision is different in each eye... She sees at a different distance per eye... And depending on what direction I am walking she will occasionally bump into something trying to get in her better position...

Woke up to Spekkle popping a squat in my bed.... Once again... Guess she is gonna just have to sleep in her crate... Thankfully I had lined under her puppy bed with plastic!! But she piddled both in her bed and in mine!!! Not a fun morning!

We r in Seattle, Spekkle hates the rain, and the cold.... This will b her first winter, and for a dog that doesn't like the rain.... We live in the wrong place!!! Haven't figured out what to do to make it better for her tho....
