Go to a different vet. Here in the US they are to tell of the risks before surgery on animals. Unless it is an emergency, they are to do blood work to see if the animal is ready for surgery or if they are not able to have surgery. It sounds like this vet screwed up and is trying to cover his...

It depends on the dog to be honest. It also depends on you as well. They are going to be curious and want to know who the baby is (i.e. your son). The best way is to see how the dogs react around your son. I have never had an issue with dachshunds around infants. Of anything they were always...

Hi Everyone! It has been quite a while since I have been on here. Just thought I would give an update. It has been over a year since I put my girl down and thought I would never get another dog. Well I am still looking for a doxie to adopt but we (my boyfriend and myself) adopted an 11 year old...

It is frustrating when they get older and have health problems. Be honest with your husband. See if he can look into other options for the medications monthly. $150 is a lot for meds for a dog - Look into other vets, online, or at your local pharmacy. I haven't personally dealt with a dog that...

My girl used to get those all the time, never bothered her at all. They get bigger but they also go away.

Ahh how precious! I'd say that's a piebald. It's sometimes very hard to tell! Mine looked like a black and tan dapple but come to find out in her last year, that she was a double. Never knew that but I had her for quite some time! Penny is right, she will be fine and probably no health issues...

What type of diet do you have your boy on? Sometimes that can affect the skin. Maybe bathe in an oatmeal type of shampoo. Something that is soft on the skin. As for teeth, if you can get them pulled or fixed do it! I don't have much to tell you on that! Glad to hear you adopted an older one...

That looks like a break in the tail from birth. I have never heard of it affecting the animal. I have never seen that in a doxie but my lab I had, had a kinky tail and it was a break from birth. :) Always double check! But I think you are in the clear. The only other thing I could think of is...

Breeders have different definitions in different parts of the World. :-) First timers is not considered breeders in the United States. And many people have the love and compassion for animals to bring more into this world. Now to answer your questions to the best of my ability 1) Look at the...

I couldn't agree more. It's a matter of knowing the history and studying the lineage. My girl was silver, black, tan, (and with blue Merle) her dad was red and her mom was black and tan. But in her lineage there was on her mother's side- dapple. No where on the father's side at all. It's crazy...

HAHAHA! Wouldn't that be nice for folding laundry?!? That's cute video! Thank you for sharing!

Welcome back! Such beauties!

She has grown so much! How long is she? Wow 9 months!

I used her harness and a leash extension which connected to the seat belt when the seat belt was latched. I always made sure the window was open a bit so she could get air. My girl used to get sick in a car as well when she was in the crate. So definitely had to look into other options! Which...

Always remember the good times and know you will see each other again someday! (I always say that, but I firmly believe that!)

I dealt with this first hand. I am sorry to say more than likely it is cancer. I don't think it's nasal cancer though. Could be pancreatic cancer. She might not show the issues but I strongly suggest to have that checked. My girl had the same issues at 13. She'd have mucous when she sneezed...

It almost sounds like the pup is peeing right outside of the crate in a fear or could be in too long?? For instance, too long for a puppy could be an hour because their bladders are so tiny. As for the fear thing, it isn't anything you would do, it could be your pup was inside the crate and...

Thanks Bria&Ru, It was a simple decision but it was hard when we put her down a few weeks ago. She was just done with her life. She had plenty of love and affection and I know I will see her again someday!

It's done and over with! You can relax now! I was the same way with Baby. But my lab I used to have, I couldn't get the courage to have him fixed! LOL

aww such beauties! How precious! Glad everything went good!
