    Submissive urination.

    He'll grow out of it When we got our pup at 8 weeks he did the same thing. It gradually got better and now at 10 months he hardly ever does it. We never, ever scolded him or even acted like we noticed it. We just quietly cleaned up after him. Now we can get all excited and high energy and...

    Thank you! His coat is more thick than long like your puppy. I was hoping that Mickey's coat would grow long but I don't think it will. But I'm totally in love with him!

    My first female dog

    Since I've known about her she's had 3 litters I don't know how many she had before she come onto my radar. I just think it's so sad that these breeders put up these websites that tell a story of loving their dogs and treating them like pets when really all they are is a smaller puppy mill. I...

    My first female dog

    Moved her spay appt up to today Poor little Lady had 11 teeth removed, got spayed and had a foxtail removed from each ear. They also clipped her nails as they were starting to grow into her pads. I've never seen a dog in such bad shape. :( I still haven't got any paperwork or shot records...

    My first female dog

    I've been a dog person for close to 60 years and we brought home our first female dog tonight. She is a retired breeder and gave birth about 6 weeks ago. I notice that one of her teats is quite swollen. It doesn't seem hot to the touch, red or particularly tender. Should I be worried? We...

    Wound healing

    I took him back to the vet when I got home from work today. They took him in the back and had the doctor look at it. Then they said they had to anesthesize him and re-stitch it. They said it would only take about an hour so I left him there and I will go back for him. Darn! And I spent...

    Wound healing

    Mickey got neutered on Friday, December 17th. Since one of his testicles didn't descend, he has 2 incisions. The one in the usual place seems to be healing nicely but the one in the fold where his back leg meets the bottom of his torso seems like it has a small red bubble. It's really...

    We are adopting our Mickey's mother!

    I saw on the kennel web page that the breeder that owns our dachshund puppy's mom is looking to rehome her. I called and told her that I want her. I'm so excited. This is the second breeder (that I know of) that has owned this little 4 year old red, long coat doxie. I can pick her up (7...

    Mini Dachshund vs Standard Dachshund?

    Really? Almost full grown? I didn't know he is almost full grown! I guess I was thinking of him like an English Bulldog (our previous dog). They don't reach their full size until about 3 years old. I don't really care how big he gets I just thought it was kind of funny that the breeder is...

    Mini Dachshund vs Standard Dachshund?

    I was told by my breeder that my Mickey is a Mini Dachshund. And I see his parents have a new litter and the puppies are listed as being between 5 - 8 lb as adults. Mickey is 6 1/2 months old and weighs 12 lbs!! He's certainly not overweight as you can feel his ribs when you pet him. I...

    OMG... I am soo ready to strangle this puppy!!!

    Ahhh...the housetraining and the peeing on the bed! Mickey does really well for several days, then out of the blue, he'll pee or poop anywhere he pleases and acts like it's no big deal. But the worst is the peeing the bed. We have a 4 year old chihuahua rescue we've had about 2 years and...
