Our son had a minnie (actually a tweenie), and I discovered I wasn't allergic to the dog. I'm not sure we even knew about size differences until we bought PD. We got our second Doxie, Henry, to keep PD company. At the time we wanted another tweenie. Henry grew up to be a small standard...

Sorry to hear about your health problems. Have a quick and uncomplicated recovery from your surgeries.

Been there. Done that.

Sweet looking dog! Advice? Watch his back. Be sure to pick up both ends, have ramps available for the furniture he is allowed to get on. Enjoy the love.

Great looking dog. Thanks for the rescue. Welcome to the forum.

And then next we'll buy a house in Victoria that's not on pier & beam ... She's put the house up for sale, not because of the skunks, but because its hard to live in two different places. We'll be moving out of a house that her parents bought in 1960. We moved in in 2002, after her...

And a new family has moved in under our house. My wife was awakened the other night while I was away to the sound of something making chittering noises. Once the dogs began barking, the noise went away, and was replaced by a familiar odor: I caught Oscar later in the week. I'm away...

Sorry to hear about the stress you are going through. Go through some of the other threads here, your story is not totally unique, and there are techniques that can help. I'm not the expert to guide you, but I have heard that one effective way to begin training a wayward doxie is to start...

Welcome to the wonderful world of Dachshunds! And welcome to the forum. Sweet looking dogs.

Aww. He is a cutie. Welcome aboard. So, will you be changing his name as he grows? footandahalflong, twofootlong?

One of our members, Deaf Dogs would be a good resource for you. Take a look at some of the tricks her double dapples can do: http://dachshund-talk.com/forum/f25/i-finally-got-around-913.html

Welcome to the forum, footlong. Please post some pics, and tell us about yourself, and your dog. I'm sorry, but in this Phish-infested world, I'm going to wait until you have shared a bit more about yourself before I click on your link. Pardon my paranoia ...

Hmmm .... "easy" and "takes 4 hours"? Not sure I would ever have the patience or time, even at 2 to 3 times a year. You must be blessed.

Theo looks like he's a handful! Beautiful dogs having fun in the snow, and beautiful pictures. Your pictures are making me cold. I think I'll go outside now, where its 75 F Thanks for posting.

Thanks. We can't take credit for his name. The shelter where we adopted him gave him that name. I asked why they picked Frank, and they said because he reminded them of a hot-dog (frankfurter). We kept the name because it was in line with the name of the dog we had lost: Henry. Henry...

One more thing: I was thrilled to read that it is OK to play tug of war with your dog! And it is even OK to let your dog win. Someone has actually done research on this. Dogs who played tug of war, and dogs who played and won were not more likely to have behavior problems than those who...

I recently "read" Dog Sense by John Bradshaw. I really listened to it through Audible.com. He is an anthrozoologist (??) and presents an interesting perspective on dogs. He is pretty down on pure-bred dogs, pointing out that the amount of inbreeding that has to happen to make pure-breds...

Doxmom, Frank chews his, too. But there is nothing shy about him. If I stop and don't let him get to whatever it is he is interested in, he just turns his head and puts the leash in his mouth. He looks at me as he calmly chews through the leash. Not angry or frustrated, just kinda like he...

I bury lawn timbers under our fence. They worked to keep our beagle in the yard of our old house years ago. Now, at a different house and with different dogs, they work to keep our one digging dachshund and his brother in. Frank is not only a jumper and a climber, he's also a digger. The...

I'm glad you rescued those two beautiful dachshunds. The sign in the window says: "secured by ADT" Does that stand for "Attack Dachshund Trainee?"
