Oooo. That looks bad. I'm glad to hear that the swelling has gone down. This happened a couple years ago to my mother's dog. He had two big bumps that looked just like that at first, we soon found out that they were actually bot fly larvae! We had them removed, but it was the grossest thing I...

Number one thing I would suggest is to take him to the vet. Puppies are very susceptible to worms and illnesses. Get a thorough check-up and rule out anything medical. Also your vet can suggest certain things to do. Typically they will suggest a change in diet. Usually gas has to do with the...

Here is a link for a different site (Weenie in the Window): Dachshund Harness- custom small dog harnesses for your wiener dog They are custom made to your dog and are very similar to Hug-a-Dog (also similar in price). I personally have never ordered a harness from them because the harness my...

This toy still has threads, but is cheap to replace: I go to Wal-mart and buy the cheapest socks they have... ones that are long (knee length or crew). They only ever cost me a couples bucks for a big pack. I fill one with an empty water bottle that has the cap screwed on (disposable ones) and...

Paradachs: I've heard that a lot, but I know both his parents were long hairs... with beautiful coats too! Maybe, it was a gene that was recessive with them? WillysMama: Pongo's ears are nice and sleek too. His tail was broken as a pup and since it is crooked he has a poof of hair at the tip...

Most Poodle hybrids are hypoallergenic so you could look into a Doxiepoo. Poodles are very smart dogs and so are dachshunds. When you breed two dogs of different breeds together you get pups that have hybrid vigor, which is very good! Hybrid vigor usually brings the best from each parent into...

Puppies are a lot of work, most dogs don't grow out of the puppy stage completely until they are approximately two years old. He is chewing on everything because puppies learn with their mouths and they can be teething (though if your pup is almost a year old he probably has already done this)...

Hello, my dachshund is named Pongo. He is a red, longhaired tweenie. He is a little over 2 years old now. We live out in the country where there are lots of mice and he tends to catch a few every week. He is so dedicated to being our mouser that he will spend all day outside "hunting"... it's...

DeafDogs: He gets a multi-vitamin, flax seed oil and ground, and a joint supplement. He sees a nutritionist at his vet so his food and supplements are well rounded. His vet tells me that his fur just is the way it is, yet many people who have longhairs tell me that his coat may not be done...

My doxie, Pongo, is a 2 year old, twelve pound, red, long haired dachshund. He has perfect health, but he has short, fuzzy fur. When he was a pup he had the typical short fur on his body and long, wavy fur on his ears. As he has grown his fur on his tail has grown a little so he has a little...

Confinement & a consistent schedule. I know exactly how you feel. My dachshund took, what felt like, a life time to learn his potty training. I got him when he was four months old and he was not 100% potty trained til he was almost 2 years old. He learned the concept of potty training right...
