The stores are already putting Halloween and Christmas items on the shelves. Yuck. If you want to make a cheap Halloweenie or Christmas outfit, shop at the local dollar store and find a treasure of things where you can use the fabric.. Using the same idea, this was a...

That's perfect! That's a nice color on a red girl too.

This lady has 2 pages of doxie stuff.. DACHSHUND While she's growing though, you might like this idea.. Cut old sweat shirts or pants for her.. http://craftbits.com/project/no-sew-wiener-dog-wrap/

Trust your gut and go elsewhere. Would you consider a show breeder? Would you consider an adult retiring from showing? I prefer supporting show breeders who are putting in time, effort and money to breed the best of the best. They are interested in doing health testing that is available. I don't...

A blue dachshund has 2 dilute genes so all the black is turned to dark grey. This includes the nose, nails, rims around the eyes. There's no black at all. If you google blue tan dachshund you'll see lots of images come up. I tried googling blue tan dapple dachshund and everything with the...

I would never support a breeder who breeds for dilute colors which are blue and isabella. These dilute coats will have color dilution alopecia which starts to show after 3 years old. Typically a breeder will charge more for this fancy color but a few years done the road the poor family will have...

You can always ask a show breeder. Sometimes females have a litter and need to be spayed because of complications and can be quite young. If they've been shown, they are used to walking on a leash and being around people and other dogs, being in a kennel, and travelling. The bonus is that a good...

I don't have much advice since I'm home with my 3. However, with our long winters we hide the ball for exercise. I put them behind a door, hide their ball, and they run all over hunting for it. Both mental and physical workout. You might find that's a handy way to exercise indoors. Would you...

Hi from Canada! If I lived in Colorado, I would love to hike and camp too. Do you have photos that you'd like to share of hiking and camping? That must be a blast.

Well maybe she can mull it over, the retiring adult. We adopted Beau at 3 years old (on his 3rd birthday actually) and he has his championship. Very handsome fella. He's 12 now and looking sharp as ever. I bet she'd love this photo..(not mine) Be sure to let us know how it works out.

You might like to check the American Kennel Club for breeders in your area. Have you considered an adult? We went to a show breeder and let her know we were interested in an adult when she had one ready to retire. They have been in the show ring so they were used to people, walking on a leash...

Hi and Welcome! I hope you can post some pics soon and tell us what kind of mischief your gang gets into. Don't forget photos of the puppy!!

I'm very much looking forward to an update! You must have her home with you at this point.

I think if you talk to people who have intact males and females, you are more likely to get the marking in the house. Pet owners who spay and neuter at 6 months don't have this problem. The problem I hear about is not marking but the fact that the dogs don't like to go out in the rain, don't...

What a sweet face! Very adorable.:D

Nice photo, nice pose! When it comes to a piece of something yummy, they can be very willing participants. lol When my in-laws had a bichon, they put her food on the floor and she ignored it. Then they mixed in baby food and microwaved. She ignored it. Then chopped ham, then cheese pieces...

That's very kind of you to say so. A dachshund isn't for everyone. They have many good points which we all love of course, but do some homework on them before making a final decision. Here is a photo of Beau that I took this summer.. He is a champion show dog. His breeder retired him...

What's been going on at your place? Do you have a downed doxie? Check out this site which is there to support families going through this.. Dodgerslist: canine back problems home page I've been through this and have photos. Georgia lost the use of her back legs but didn't lose bladder and...

Hi and welcome! Tell us more about yourself.

Hi Matt. I think you have a very good observation! I'm not a vet but I'll tell you my experience. All winter our dogs pee on papers so I know a lot about pee. Our male Beau had very yellow pee, and I noticed that when it dried on the papers, I could see crystals. Ok, that's probably not a good...
