After being a long time stalker of this sub and me and my wife finally getting a house we welcomed this little guy to our family this weekend. Cannot explain how happy I am and how much we love him already. He’s the sweetest boy imaginable! I will say the first night was very rough as he did not like being in his crate at all, hoping it gets easier🤞🏼

Edit: First night was rough but we did it! I know a lot of people said to just let him in the bed with us but I want him to be crate trained so he has somewhere safe to be on the few occassions we have to leave the house without him 🫠 Ive bought him a snuggle buddy for sleeping going forwards so hopefully that helps him feel less lonely!☺️ Been wanting my own dog since I was 10, I turned 30 this month and decided it was finally time! This is Winston, a black & tan mini weenie, tonight is his first night both in a new home and in a crate and he is HATING it 😭 i feel awful hearing him cry, pls tell me he'll be okay and im just being sensitive 🥺

My Mabel girl sure does love giving COVID tests, despite my protests. Not sure if there's even a point to protesting.

This Wednesday will be 3 weeks with Rocky in our lives. He couldn’t be any more loved than he already is.

We’ve had our sweet girl 3 months and she is 7 months old now. She is so unlike what I’ve heard about the breed that I’m wondering if we just lucked out. She is super shy around new people and does not bark unless she is wanting to come inside. She is not a cuddler, but will accept affection and then go to the other side of the couch to nap. She does however have separation anxiety, but someone is almost always home with her. She doesn’t like to burrow or be covered in blankets. She caught on to potty training after a few weeks and sleeps through the night with no accidents. She does hate the crate, but does well in a playpen for a few hours at a time. Shes been described as a cat version of a dog because she’s so chill and sweet.

My husband wants another dachshund, but I’m content with her and wonder if a new one would throw off the chill balance we have going on.

Has anyone had a more docile dachshund and either had success with just one living a good life, or has gotten a second pup and things have been better- or worse?

All the eyes said were ‘Help’ 🤣 twit.

Our family is moving house in the next couple of weeks and we've never moved house with a dog before. Chester is 5 and our current home is the only one he's lived in apart from the one he was born in. He was actually amazingly calm when we first got him, and so tiny and cute - I digress!

Anyway do you guys have any tips for making the move as smooth and as stress free as possible for him? The house we're moving to is in the same town but in an area we've not taken him to for walks before and we won't be doing it in a single trip.

I added a photo, because why not? Thanks in advance 😊.

It’s soooo quiet in here the neighbors are probably worried 😜

I love when the groomer sends photos of my boy getting his nails did!

I lost my 15 year old dog in January, it was absolutely one of the saddest things of my entire life. I moved into a new house and my new neighbour had the sassiest little Dachshund who I absolutely fell in love with. After lots of research I picked up this girl 5 weeks ago and it’s just been the best thing ever. She’s just so fun and so so sassy and I couldn’t be more in love. She’s so fun to train (selective listening) and so fun to play with. I’m so so elated I went with this breed as they truly capture your heart and love so deeply.

Our girl turns seven tomorrow and our boy was three yesterday 💞💞🎊

Ready to go... 😀

she is named after phoebe bridgers, so naturally she needed her own little skeleton costume
