puppy

I picked up my puppy 3 weeks ago, and we bought her as a short hair dachshund. Both her parents were short hair, but over the past few weeks I've noticed her hair is growing. She doesn't look like the long hair puppies I've googled, but her hair seems a fair bit longer than the short hair...

Hi. My family just got our second ever dachshund. My husband and I had one from when doxie was 2 until he finally passed 16, when our son was 3. My son is now 7 and we got a new puppy (4 months), Murray, just 4 days ago. Initially, he seemed very chill with children. All the neighborhood kids...

Hi All, I just found this website a few minutes ago and I just HAD to join! How I came to be a Dachshund owner is as unusual as the breed itself yet at the same time it's so typical Dachshund. I am a 60ish disabled married man who lives in a tiny little village on the Missouri River. A...

Good Evening! Trying to decide on a food for my baby girl. Her breeder sent Diamond Natural with her but she didn't really like it. The past few days she's been eating Blue Buffalo Grain Free Puppy but I'm hearing bad reviews. I would love some advice on what my girl should be eating! Thanks!

My 6 week old puppy, Carlos, was asleep and I got up to get him some food and seconds later I heard him fall off the arm of the couch onto hard tile. At first, his jaw seemed to be locked up but seconds later he was fine. Walks around fine. Acts normal. Eating fine. I rubbed all around his...
