Some wormers can really upset them, one of mine had a really bad reaction to a wormer the vet gave her, she was violently sick for 24 hours. Keep an eye of the blood if it gets worse definitely check it out. While they are this small they can go downhill so quickly, yeah same feeding routine and...

He is beautiful!! At ten weeks he should still be on 4 meals a day! he is only a baby and cant possibly thrive on one meal a day, poor lad, I am surprised he looks so well! They seem to naturally soon cut it down to three and then most adult dachshunds (about 9 - 10 months onwards) have...

Hi and welcome from the UK! Hope you enjoy the forum, cant wait to see some photos of your baby :)

I am not very good at this but I use the paper clip attachment in the toolbar of the message box. Hopefully someone else who can add big photos will also help you. Can't wait to see him :)

Hi and welcome from the UK! I really hope you enjoy the forum, your baby looks really cute!

This is the promise I make to my dogs......................

Ooohhh Penny, don't know how you cope! Hope it warms up for you soon x.

I haven't heard of a wireless fence that would be suitable for dogs? I have used electric fencing with horses is this the same kind of thing?

Just to be on the safe side have her hearing checked at the vets. Personally I still think she probably just needs more social contact and cuddles, she is still a baby and they do need lots of attention.

Best Birthday present in the world!!

Hi, I have introduced a raw food diet and it seems to be going really well, the dogs love it! At the moment I am feeding most raw meats (both on and off the bone), brown rice, vegetables, fish and eggs. Mostly I like to give them meat that was intended for human consumption as it is higher...

Hi and welcome from the UK! Really hope you enjoy the forum and am looking forward to seeing some photos!

Hi and welcome from the UK!

Training should start from day one, pups are like children and are a sponge to new information and experiences. Your puppy will be learning about his world from the moment he comes home so its probably best to set the ground rules from the start. Patience and consistency is the key, again like...

Hi and welcome from Hertfordshire! Really hope you enjoy the forum, your puppy is gorgeous!

So pleased you are getting a rescue! I have a rescue dachshund cross border terrier, he was dumped at 12 weeks. He is such a sweetheart and the gentlest dog ever! Your new baby looks lovely, dachshunds are such loyal and clever dogs here's hoping you have many years of fun together.

Hi and welcome from the UK! Cant help you with the running but I love to see dachshunds fit and healthy, all mine get a good off leash walk everyday, we can walk for miles some days its just me that cant do the running now lol!

Hi and welcome from the UK! Hoping to see some photos of your new baby when he arrives! exciting times ahead.............

I think my use of words was probably wrong here Penny, I totally agree with what you say, my dogs bed in the kitchen actually is an open crate. What I meant to explain is that some people use the excuse of "crate training" to shut their dog in a closed crate when they are away from the house...

I totally agree that too many dogs are left alone far too much. Why people think its OK to get a puppy when they work full time is beyond me, a small puppy needs 4 meals a day and company to provide the love, teaching and guidance they need to develop into happy and healthy adult dogs. I...
