Hi and welcome from the UK! Congratulations on the baby, I haven't had to introduce a baby to a dachshund but have introduced other dogs to babies. The main thing is to make sure it is a positive experience for the dog so whatever is their best thing (food / toy etc) needs to appear every...

Connie loves food, food and more food. Woody loves other dogs, his bed, long walks and food. Maybel loves Connie and Woody, my lap, digging holes and eating frogs . Oh and did I mention CONNIE LOVES FOOD!!!!

We all do the best we can to protect our dogs but sometimes accidents just happen. PLEASE don't beat yourself up over this. The good thing is he seems OK now, I think he was just a bit stunned for a minute, so froze. All babies, dogs and kids are far more resilient than we think, they fall...

Thank you Inkeri. In the UK dogs are tested and the tests come back as either Clear, Carrier or Affected. An Affected dog will develop the disease. A Carrier will never develop the disease but can pass it on to their offspring. A clear to carrier mating will result in approx. 50 % of puppies...

As Nicky is sharing her pregnancy story, I thought I would also share my poor Connie's recent pseudo pregnancy. She had her first season exactly nine weeks ago and her mammary glands started to swell approx. three weeks ago. She has shown all the outward signs of pregnancy, but believe me she is...

OK so I am guessing this is NOT an issue anywhere else then? Most puppies advertised here, in the UK (if they are from reputable breeders) are advertised with their test results. Must admit from the research I have done so far I can't seem to find any advertised in the U.S with the same...

How about leaving some of the soiled bedding in the corner of the laundry room on some puppy pads. Then leave a CLEAN bed with some biscuits on it in his OPEN crate in another corner, must be open so he can get out to pee. The biscuits on the bed are important as most dogs won't soil where they...

Hi and welcome from the UK! They are both lovely!

At least she went! wooohooo!!! What about boots? I know some people use them in the snow?

I was just wondering if anyone can tell me their experiences of PRA Cord 1 and Laforas in other countries. We have both in our dachshund population in the UK and it is something most reputable breeders are working hard to eradicate. We are able to test for the PRA Cord 1 via an animal Health...

Sorry I don't have any advice either as I haven't experienced this, send you both hugs though and hope your little one is feeling better soon.

What a lovely idea! I am going to be watching this thread!! I have had several litters in the past but never with Dachshunds. I now have two dachshund girls and will one day (maybe???) be following suit. Good luck to you and your little girl, cant wait to see what she has!

Nooooo I am soooo jealous!! What an amazing idea!!

Not sure I am the best one to help but here goes lol! When you write a message there is a little icon in the toolbar above that looks like a paper clip. Click on it and a box will come up with a button that says brows, if you click this it will open the option of showing you all your folders...

What a pretty girl!! so glad she has found her forever home :)

Hi, I think its probably a common problem for many dachshunds. Mine are OK in the rain but I walk my dogs everyday regardless of the weather and they have had to get used to it! I do help them out a bit by making sure they have weather proof coats on in the rain and this has seemed to help...

Hi and welcome from the UK! Would be great to see a photo of your little superstar.........

Ha ha, sorry but your post really made me smile! Welcome to the world of dachshunds! boy are they smart and this little one is letting you know exactly who is in charge and where she fits in the pack lol! She follows you because she has decided you are pack leader but is giving the VERY...

Bless you! your little fella is certainly having an impact! Just a couple of ideas that might help. Most puppies find it hard to settle at night because they are missing the warmth and comfort of their siblings, a good replacement is a warm hot water bottle wrapped in a blanket for them to...

Hi and welcome from the UK! Hope you enjoy the forum, it would be great to see some photos of your dachsies!!
