Omg guys! I WON A FREE YEAR SUPPLY OF ROYAL CANIN FOOD (and vet care) through Banfield Pet Hospitals/PetSmart!!!! I'm so excited!! Now the question is... Which RC food should we go for? They're sending me the Dachshund 28 formula to try out. We can switch anytime though. Yosuke is 9lbs...

I haven't uploaded pics of Yosuke for a while. He opened the camera app on my laptop (touch screen) the other day and we ended up taking a TON of pics. lol Here are my favs. These two are when I first heard the "click!" of the camera. LOL Love this one. <3 hehe! He's such...

So we are about to move (yay!) but it is about four hours away. We normally give Yosuke a baby benadryl when he has to get in the car, but they don't last very long for some reason. He gets car sick on drives that are more than 5 minutes long now. :/ We've tried crating him in the car...

After reading the post about Engli and her fav ball.. it got me to thinking. What are your dogs fav toys? Yosuke's current favs are the red Hol-ee ball (3.5 inches), a KONG squeak ball, tennis balls of any sort (especially the squeaky ones) and a braided white rope. He just killed his Skinz...

We've been working on tricks/obedience with Yosuke, our 7 month old dachshund. He's doing really well with sit, stay and get down; however, leave it and lay down are just not working. I think I'm just doing it wrong. For lay down - I first have him sit (treat); then put my hand all the way...

Yosuke at 7 months old. Sorry for the terrible quality of pics. I used my cell phone (which isn't very good) to take these in my apartment at night. We were playing with his current favorite toy - a braided rope. :D Excuse my bragging... I just had to share!! Some how I managed to get...

Hey guys! I've read a little about the Tropiclean Water Additive, but wanted to know if anyone was tried it? For those unfamiliar, it is a solution you add to the water dish for your dogs and cats to help clean their teeth and freshen breath. It is marketed as the "easier" way of cleaning a...

I live in Louisville, Kentucky and would LOVE to meet up with other dachshund owners! :D We are also close to the border of Indiana making it easy to meet with people from there as well. If you live nearby and would like to meet some time, let me know. There are tons of dog friendly parks in...

I found a canine today and took a picture so everyone could see. This is Yosuke's second canine to fall out (he's 7mo old), but it is also his biggest one. His teeth are super healthy! :D Sorry the images are a little fuzzy. I took these with my cell phone. Yosuke 7 mo. old

Recently our puppy's ears started to smell, and smell BAD. They smell like he's been rolling around in something. I can't pinpoint the smell. We've checked both ears and there isn't any discharge, bleeding, oozing, sores/scabbing, etc. He doesn't appear to have an ear infection BUT we are...

I'm just now realizing how TERRIBLE so many treats and chewie bones are for dogs. I never realized that rawhides were so bad. I've heard some really bad stories lately about rawhide. What natural treats and chewies does everyone like? I'm so skeptical of brands that say "natural" or...

Yosuke's teeth have been shedding quite a bit lately. I've found three this week! He would make some serious cash with the tooth fairy if she would visit dogs. ;) Anyways, I've been giving him busy bones to chew on when he is super chewy because they have a soft center and a medium hard...

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...

Yosuke LOVES to cuddle with me. He's the most cuddle little dachshund I have ever encountered. His favorite spot is on my neck/back when I lay on the couch. I have so many pics of me and him on the couch with his head next to mine. Best part is he's a little space heater so I don't need a...

Yosuke's eyes are watery, always clear and never mucous-y. They look almost like he has been crying all the time. The vet said it may or may not go away after he gets older, just depends. She said his eyelids are just too big for his eyes right now and they sometimes fold over and cause his...

So I have a male mini who is only 4 mo. old and only weighs 5 pounds. He needs to be taken out every two hours or he will have an accident. According to our training tips for doxies (from our breeder), for every month old he is until 5 mo. old there should be that many hours between trips...

Hello everyone! My name is Hilary (aka: HilyBee). I have a mini longhaired English cream dachshund named Yosuke (yo-skay). He is only 3 months old. :) He is the second dachshund we have ever had, and we absolutely love the breed. We live in Louisville, KY with our cat Sera and my hubby...
