I'm a very new dachshund owner myself so no advice. Just sending good thoughts your ways. I know it must be hard to watch you Giz go through something like this.

We have an 18 month dachshund that up until 3 weeks ago had been doing great with sleeping through the night. Dooley sleeps in the bed with us and had been perfectly happy sleeping until between 6:30-7:00am. About three weeks ago that starting becoming earlier and earlier. He started waking...

Dooley has always been one that wanted to sniff, play, and be around other dogs. In fact, at time I think he thought he was bigger than he was and would engage much bigger dogs. He would also do the "how you doing sniffing thing" and then would show some submission by turning over on his back...

Thanks for all the responses. My son isn't sure if the little critter was dead or alive. We are watching Dooley very closely and so far he seems fine. He ate his dinner and breakfast with no problems and has shown no signs of tummy troubles. He is up-to-date with all of his shots and worm...

My son took our year old dachshund on a walk tonight and apparently Dooley got hold of some type of small animal. My son tried to get it from Dooley but couldn't and he ate some of it. It was either the head of a small bird or a small mouse. Should I be worried? Is there something I should...

We have a one year old Dachshund named Dooley. This is our first dachshund and I have a question about his weight and food portion. As I stated he is a year old and currently gets 2 feedings of a little over 1/2 cup each (total of 1 cup a day). We also use his kibbles for training and he...

When we first got Dooley as a little pup we put him on a 3 times a day feeding schedule (6am, 12pm, 6pm). He is now 7 months old and is weighing in at about 9.5 lbs. He isn't overweight according to all the information and pictures I have researched and compared him to. It wasn't a problem...

Wandering Man ~ I can feel your pain. We are new to the whole puppy world so not sure if we should try to stretch him out with waiting to eat at 6am (preferable 7am) or feed him at the time he wake up since he goes right back to sleep. Don't want to develop a bad habit if he could make it...

We have a four month old dachshund that is waking us up every morning between 4AM - 4:30AM. We let him whine a few minutes to make sure he isn't dreaming etc. and then take him out of his kennel to go potty. He does his business right away BUT when we put him back in the kennel he cries. We...

We have a four month old puppy that has begun chewing and sucking parts of his fleece blanket in his kennel and swallowing it. I don't want to pull his blanket out and have him with nothing soft in his kennel when he is in there or sleeping but I am worried about him eating it. I have seen small...

I have attached a picture of a bump that I felt/found on Dooley last night. He doesn't yelp when I press it or feel it. He is running and moving fine. It does feel hard when I press it and around it. He is eating fine, playing fine, laying around fine. Any ideas what it might be? Should...

We have four month old and I want to know about his sleeping at night. His evening schedule is eating dinner @ 5:30 followed by a walk and play time (usually at least an hour for the two). Sometimes play is longer and sometimes he is happy to just hang after that. He usually gets in our...

We are the owners of Dooley (4 months old) and are working on training. For a while he worked well with his kibbles but has figured out those are nothing special now so they don't work so well for his training. What are some good idea for healthy HIGH VALUE treats to use as part of his...

So I need some input on Dooley jumping off furniture, especially the couch and bed. He has only done this once or twice because I keep my hands pretty close when he is sitting with me on both of them. However, he would jump if I didn't do that. Is it ok for them to jump? Should they never jump...

Sara ~ thanks for your input. I am very lucky that Dooley can come with me this first month and then after that will be able to be at home with my husband and son as they have some accumulated days off and school spring break respectively. I really do want to set him (and us) up for a...

Thanks for your advice and input.

We are new puppy owners and really want to get things right so we have a wonderful, loving and great relationship with our baby. I have a few questions: 1. We are crate/kennel training Dooley. In order to do this is it ok that he is out with us some in the mornings/evenings while we watch...

Thanks Nikki ~ we are already in love with Dooley ~ he is just adorable and full of personality. Any help, hints, advice would be greatly appreciated. This is a whole new adventure for use, but what is life without adventures!
