Hello,
I am a new member and a new mommy (to two 9 week old male dachshunds) in the Toronto, Ontario, Canada region. My fiance and I had been planning on getting a little wiener dog for a while, and when we went to go check out a posting we saw online we were taken back by the poor conditions these pups were in. As soon as they were able to leave their mum we snatched two of them up (I wish we could have taken the whole litter).
These guys have been through a lot. One of them had his eye scratched in his first weeks and the breeder never treated it, leaving him with a milky right eye and clouded vision. They both have been through Coccidia, and so many worms that their bellies were extremely distended and they were pooping out live worms.
They are on the road to recovery now! Now it a struggle and joy to train them and introduce them to the snow.
I am still learning as these are my first puppies. If any one knows some great resources to learn how to train these guys properly, especially while having two puppies at the same time, please pass it along. Any information is helpful!!
Many thanks and I look forwards to meeting you all.
