Hi and welcome from the UK! Back problems are such a worry with dachshunds aren't they? interestingly our local vet clinic has just put out a request for volunteer dachshunds to take part in some new research into back problems here in the UK. I have volunteered mine so am waiting to see what...

Hi Nora and welcome to the Forum. I live in Hertfordshire, I have a mini short hair, a mini wire hair and a dachshund cross. Good luck with your hunt for your new puppy, a good face book page is Dachshunds in UK - England. Don't forget to post us some pics when you find your baby, P.S...

Here is my family Portrait, do you have one to share?

Hi and welcome from The UK. Your boy is beautiful! I love his colouring, he is a real stunner!!

Hi and welcome from the UK! So sorry to hear your little one is unwell, I guess all any of us can do at a time like this is to trust in your vet, hope you get some good news soon, best wishes.

Hi and welcome from the UK!

What a shame, it definitely sounds as though he has had his confidence knocked a bit and it may take a while for him to build this up again. I would be very careful for a while with who he mixes with as the last thing he needs right now is another scare. Its good he comes to you for safety...

I guess a biopsy is the only way you will get a definitive answer but as there are no other symptoms I don't think I would be too worried about them. Is there any chance you think it could be an allergy to something? You could try keeping this photo for a week to see if any disappear or...

Hi and welcome from the UK! Sorry to hear you are worried about your little one, are the lumps just under the surface of the skin or a little deeper? how many are there and are there any other symptoms? Would it be possible to post a photo of the lumps?

Hi and welcome from the UK! Amazon sell a plug in soother for dogs that they reckon •Calms your dog •Mimics hormone •Effective and safe tool to relieve stress related behaviours in dogs and puppies of all ages. Haven't tried it though. Have also been told dachshunds like classical...

I do get what you are trying to do but my point is your puppy is spending a lot of time on her own. House training is hard work and very time consuming, if you want to get the puppy clean you will need to spend more time with her. She doesn't know why you are putting her in the pen all she...

"I've heard of spraying them with water, throwing a can of coins nearby so it startles them out of barking." I meant to say please don't do this to a small puppy. Your puppy is crying because it is a baby who needs you, it shouldn't be punished for needing your love.

It sounds as though your pup is seriously missing the comfort, warmth and touch of her mum and litter mates. If she sleeps in a kennel in your room at night the last thing she wants when she wakes up is to be put in another pen. She needs to be held, played with and be with you, sitting...

Hi, 10 puppies is a BIG litter for a dachshund! The biggest litter I have ever had was 12 and that was from a Pointer. Did you have to supplement last time? at 13 pounds Mum must take an awful beating with 10. Hope everything goes well for you and can't wait to see the pictures!

Hi, how old is Betsy? Have you had her from a puppy? some dogs play more than others and a lot will depend on her age and fitness level. Does she enjoy walks? Food is usually the key, most dogs love hunting for tit bits or chasing after a ball or kong with food in. Do you have any...

Hi and welcome from the UK! Hope you really enjoy the forum!

Hi and welcome from the UK! I agree with Piper. Dachshunds are very intelligent they need their brains to be kept occupied or they get naughty! Kongs are good and make sure he has plenty of chews / toys that he is allowed to chew. He is still very much a baby and needs to learn everything...

If the target area is the paper then its exactly the same as asking her to go outside. The only thing I would say is be consistent with where the paper is placed for her to go and again I would suggest this is somewhere near the door as she will then also get the idea she should go to the door...

17 weeks is still very young. I have known many people take on an adult dachshund that hasn't been house trained and they have managed to turn this around in a fairly short time. I personally don't think its about the age of the dog but rather more about establishing the ground rules from day...

Hi Alina and welcome from the UK! I am very sorry to hear about your accident but it sounds as though you have come along way and done so well so far. A new dachshund! how exciting, they really are the best dogs ever, real characters with loads of personality, you have some fun times...
