    Exercise for puppy

    Ooohhh that's interesting! Our vet told us to take our mini on 2-3 five minute walks a day at this age (our puppy is also four months old) and have minimum 15 minute play sessions at least twice a day. I would ask your vet at your next round of shots what they recommend. It seems to be...

    New to Dachshunds and forum

    What I have always done with my little dachshunds is: use the crate as a safe place while we are not home (no longer than three hours until they are 6+ mo. old, longer once they are older); once they are one year old I begin training them to stay alone in a "dog proofed" bedroom outside of the...

    Food you feed your Dachshund.

    What puppy food has everyone had the best luck with? Yosuke likes his Pro Plan but if it's not good for him (and according to the website linked above it's just okay) then I'd rather get him on something better. Our vet said he is growing very well, is very healthy and a perfect weight for his...

    Dachshund relations to other animals

    When we got our kitty (Sera), Caz (our doxie) was already two years old and the cat was one. They were still young, but not babies. They were both set in their ways for sure. lol After Caz died and we decided to get another dachshund, our cat is now going on four and our puppy is only four...

    Dachshund relations to other animals

    We have had two dachshunds with our current kitty. They have ALWAYS gotten along very very well. They are inseparable! Cazic (the red and brown LH) was her first doxie friend. When he passed away this year she morned his loss just as much as we did. She was so upset that she never left our...

    Food you feed your Dachshund.

    We are still on Pro Plan since Yosuke is only 4 months old. In the past I have used Diamond, Royal Canin, Purnina Pro, Blue Buffalo (samples only) and Purina One. I'm not sure what I'll switch to with Yosuke yet. He loves Purina so I'll probably keep him on that.

    New harness

    Yosuke is just a puppy still but his fur is THICK because of the constant changing weather. Same thing, his fur doesn't know what to do! So not fun trying to maintain. I wish it would slow down for a bit, but right now it's growing like weeds. lol

    New harness

    GORGEOUS boy you have there. He is very photogenic. :D I wish I had a sewing machine... I would totally be making my little guy a new harness. I love the idea of a fleece lined one for the fall and winter and a lighter weight one for the spring and summer. I live in KY. The weather here is...

    English cream skin color?

    So according to our vet... Yosuke is an English Cream Brindle!!! Which he suspected all along, but it is not confirmed. He has some stripes on his back, ears and tail that have begun to darken. Apparently since he has some shading he will have darker colored skin as well. So happy he's...

    Well I like toys too!

    That is exactly what they are thinking! LOL! I can see my doxie doing the same thing. If it sounds even close to a squeaky he gets excited!

    What are your top 3 favorite dog breeds?

    Longhaired Dachshund Cocker Spaniel I don't really have a third because that spot is "open". I love animals so much I'm not really breed specific. I'd take in any dog if it would be my best friend. <3

    Zoomies

    hahahaha! Too cute! Yosuke runs around like that too. We tell him he's going "crazy" again. The cat either runs with him or tries to jump over him while he's running. I've tried several times to get it on video but it's always too dark to see or too blurry to tell what's going on. lol They are...

    English cream skin color?

    Here is a picture of him from today. :) He was a little sleepy when I took it. He is considered an English Cream brindle (light creamy yellow with dark brown/black stripes on his back, ears and tail).

    English cream skin color?

    I have an English Cream mini who is only 4 months old. I'm curious, for all those cream owners out there... what color is their skin? Yosuke's skin looks dark on his belly/chest and more of a dark tan all over his body but he is very light colored. Is that normal? We just gave him a bath...
