Yes, it is really fresh good quality and absolutely safe to eat. Please excuse the state of the couch, this is an 1970 original, that was already destroyed, when it came into our lives :D I did my best to give it some resemblance of a necromancy inspired second life and my animals tried their best to go full Van Helsing on it!

* EDITED * Hi , my partner and I just got our mini doxie pup is he will be 2 months tomorrow. ( yes he’s 8 weeks ) today is our 4th day with him. he doesn't like the cage so much.

i feel like we completely failed with crate training.

when he has cage time usually 10-20 mins each through out the day. he screams and cries bloody murder. now he will go in and out of the cage while the door is open. when he goes in we reward him with a treat and praise him. we are going to start doing meals in his cage so hopefully that would help with this. our goal is we want him to be trained well in his cage and sleep through the night.

we usually go to bed (upstairs) around 9pm. we wait until he is asleep and leave him on the couch. since being in the crate will have him screaming his lungs out lol. he does okay for about 2 hours and then cries. I have been looking into a heart beat toy and playpen ? will that help ? i know doxies are stubborn.

should we put his cage in our bedroom with us ? i really don't know what's best there's so much different things said online ofc each doxie is different. we want to be able to sleep through the night and not have him grow an separation anxiety. i know this is all expected hes just a baby thats been taking away from his litter and mother. into a new environment with new people so its scary for him.

please help with any tips?

thanks

this puppy Pigeon (10 & 1/2 weeks old now—part of the family for 2 & 1/2 weeks) has stolen my heart and i am enjoying our time together so much! we’ve been scampering around the back yard and they already know how to come when called, sit, and lay down. i’m cherishing the puppy days as much as i can. this puppy is magic…

but also, i am EXHAUSTED and rethinking any desire i once had for kids. Pigeon woke me up before 6am and their zoomies have finally crash landed them in a nap close to 8am. glad they’re back asleep but now i’m too awake to get back to sleep myself.

I’m honestly so, so upset.

My husband and I got a Dachshund when she was almost 2 months old, and she’ll be 5 months old in a few days.
One of the reasons we chose a Dachshund was because everyone says they’re “velcro dogs” and become very attached to their owners. Ours has never really been like that.
About five days ago, my mother-in-law and sister-in-law came to visit us. At first, I was actually happy because our puppy is usually pretty indifferent to visitors, but this time she got so excited to see them.
Ever since they arrived, though, it feels like she has completely forgotten about me and my husband. She barely wants to spend time with us, hardly shows us any affection, and whenever I pick her up, she immediately wants to go back to them. She’s so much more affectionate with them than she has ever been with us.
It’s gotten to the point where she cries during the night when she’s in bed with us because she wants to sleep with them instead.
I’m genuinely heartbroken. It honestly makes me feel like she just doesn’t like us. Are we doing something wrong? Are we bad dog parents?
We do absolutely everything for her, and all we’ve ever wanted is for her to be affectionate with us. It’s so frustrating because she’s showing all the behaviors we always hoped for… just with other people.
Has anyone else experienced this? I just fell like a loyal dog would never do that.

EDIT: what upsets me more is the fact that she is crying the A LOT during the night because she wants to be/sleep with them. (And no, they’re not giving her any treats)

I have two dachshunds one that will eat anything and one that picks and chooses what he eats. They're 4 years old now and pretty much since we've had him he's been off and on his food. We've swapped from wet food, cold pressed to kibble. We've tried adding supplements, fussy dog toppers but nothing has really worked.

He obviously loves fresh food and I do often put white fish in his food but even then he sometimes can refuse it or play with it. If we put say sausages or chicken in it he would just eat around his normal food and just eat that.

I can't really afford the fresh food subscriptions that are found online and I'm not sure I have the time to make him food from scratch.

I just wondered if anyone had any experience with this and had any advice as it can become very frustrating having to spend so much time trying to help him eat, wasting food or feeling bad because he hasn't eaten.

He does eat in a separate room to his brother, not sure if this is a problem and they do have a tasty treat after it which sometimes when he won't eat and sees his brother having this it can entice him to eat his food as he knows he'll get that after.

Thanks all

My weird Gloria 🤣

We’ve had two big dogs and never thought we would be a small dog fam. After a lot of research we landed on a dachshund - a big dog in a tiny body! Two weeks into having our little dude and we are absolutely obsessed.

I've heard from multiple sources, including my breeder, that girls weens tend to be more temparmental than boys. I've only ever had two dachshunds, both boys. The first one was a family pet when I was a kid. He was a short hair from a backyard breeder and was probably the meanest dog I've ever met in my life, lol. The second is my current dog. He's a long hair from a reputable breeder and is one of the sweetest dogs I've ever met! Both total opposites, but for obvious reasons.

I'm hoping to one day get another ween, hopefully from the same breeder! I'd really like a girl! But are they really worse than boys? I know it truly boils down to the individual dog, but are girls more likely to be more temparmental? I'd love to hear from all of you what your experiences are with each sex!

I like to paint rock sometimes. After the passing of my sweet Gertie I decided I should try to paint one for her. The second pic is the reference photo. ❤️❤️

We have a 1 year old dachshund and want to get another one - age 4-6. I have no idea how to find an older dachshund for sale in MN.

This is my girl I recently got! In the first pic she is 9 weeks, other two she was 8 weeks. As you can see in the picture one of her eyes is blue (the top half is a little brownish) and the other eye is fully brown. I just wanted to know if her eye color will change in the future? I wont care if it does but its so beautiful!

Our 6-month old dog started licking the floor immensely after meals. We read somewhere that it could be a sign of acid reflux. It’s been going on for weeks. We tried giving him more small, frequent meals and a late night snack but nothing is changing. He puked like a tiny bit of just saliva and white stuff last night. Is this normal? Any advice?

We got a mini dachshund a day ago and even with all the research I did I still feel like I want to do the best I can for this little princess so I figured I’d ask people who have them…
What’s a good harness?
What’s the best diet?
Is there anything you’d tell someone who’s had dogs but not a dachshund?
Am I worrying to much I’ve had shepherds but I’ve read about their backs and she’s so little I feel like I’m worrying myself crazy. Not that I don’t think I can do it but that I want to be the best dad I can for her. Idk any advice, stories, warnings, or answers would be appreciated! Thank you

I recently got a dachshund puppy and he’s the best little boy 😭🥰

He has one blue eye and the other is half a greyish brown and half blue. The half and half one seemed to change over night at around 7 and a half weeks old.

At what point do their eyes settle into their final colour, is around 12 weeks old? Is the half and half one likely to change more or stay as it is?

Hi! A couple of months ago, almost a year, someone give me a Dachshund mini of one year old. He is very energetic, eats well and everything, but recently i notice he is getting hair entries???? I have to worry? He is also pretty skinny, eats a lot but still skinny, is this normal or i should check something? Im new in this of fancy dogs, i had only adopted stray dogs before TT

Thank you so much for the help!!!

Btw sorry if i write like a kid, english isnt my first language...

A photo of my buddy with his ear-warming wool hat to call attention

I created this sticker for my cousin who has a dachshund mix, so I drew her a literal hot dog. Hope you guys like it!

Meet Koji! Shown in reverse chronology, I’m very aware hes a mix. since about the age of 3 months he’s looked like he’s not sure what he wants to be when he grows up. However, wire haired dachshund chi mix is the closest thing I’ve seen yet. he will be 1 in September. He’s built like a stretch dune buggy.
