I have been trying to get into a dachshund chat room and have been unable to find one. I got a dachshund a couple months ago. I grew up with dachshunds and having this new one has reawakend my love for them. He is a "tweenie" I guess, to me he looks like a miniature....

I currently have an 18 month old male short hair dachshund. And, I now have an opportunity to get a second male short hair dachshund puppy.
I've read that it's not a good idea to have two male dogs together, in general. Is this the case with dachshunds? Or, can t...
I have a wire haired Doxie about 2 years old. Recently (about 2 months ago) he has been starting to lose some of his hair on his stomach and sides. It is all uniform (no clumps or patches) and he doesn't seem to mind at all (no licking or scratching). My vet mainl...
Anyone have any suggestions on cleaning my mini doxie's ears? I have used dry cotton balls but it doesn't seemto be getting all of the dirtiness out. His ears don't smell and I know not to put a q-tip in there. I don't want to use any cleaning products in there wi...
Hi -
My 8 year old doxie has developed a limp that started yesterday. Today I noticed that her paw is red and swollen on the underside. Any ideas why and/or how to treat?
Thank you!
I have a gorgeous dapple tween who is 16months old and his name is Slink. I was wondering, my husband says that an egg mixed in with his food would be good for him, but I think I read somewhere that eggs and dachshunds don't mix. Am I right?
thanks,
Renee
I have a 10 month old female mini/standard mix Dashie. Recently she has started urinating & defecating in her crate while I am out. I have downsized to a smaller crate and she is continuing to go to the bathroom in it. Any advice?
Thanks,

Jaci and I got these two loveable dachshunds and we love them dearly. DJ has trouble barking at anything. Jade is the passive of the two. She follows what DJ is doing.
Both the pups have new muzzels to stop the barking but sometimes the noise is disturbing.

Good day to all. I feed my mini (who turned out to be too big to be a mini at 13 pounds) about 1/4 cup of weight control kibble twice a day. She still asks for more food. Now that its winter, is that enough or am I starving the little honey?

I need help. I have a tweenie or small standard dachshund. He was a little over weight about a year ago since then I've have been feeding him Purina Fit & Trim which has gotten him to a good weight of 16lbs. But I think this dog food doesn't seem to give him much nut...
Would anyone know of healthy treats for Dachshunds? I know there are a variety of them which you can buy online but they are pretty expensive. Thank you!

Could someone tell me how often a Bordatella
vaccination is recommended?? With my previous
girl I went to a different vet. He gave the
shot every six months. Just got a shot from
a different clinic and the reminder is for a
year. Thanks, Karen
In June we adopted a 5 yr old brown doxie with a black brindle named Petey. There was the occasional pee in the house, but generally he always went outside. Then a few weeks ago, two things happened: 1) he was attacked while my 11 and 10 yr old daughters were walki...

Could any one give me advise on how to potty train my rescued 4 year old doxie. I like the idea of crate training but this little one spent all her life in a crate. I do take her outside every two hours and she goes but she still pees on the carpet. I certainly do...
We've tried Clomicalm with no visible
results. Casey shredded 2 miniblinds in
the motor home when left alone for a couple
of hours. Haven't been able to crate her

afraid she'll hurt her mouth or teeth. Any
suggestions o...
Has anyone heard of medication you can give your dog for long car rides to help them relax? We will be making several five hour car rides and my mini doxie whines when we get in the car. We have tried taking car rides to fun places but he has always been nervous in...
What are some good toys for doxies? I have found a squeaky bone, a stuffed toy with a squeak in it and a tug rope, and my doxie doesn't seem to be interested in any of these things? Anyone have any ideas?
I am getting a long haired dachshund today. He is 2 years old. I have never had a dog before, but I am in love with dachshunds. His name is Homer.

I have two Dachshunds, The Unsinkable Molly Brown and Snuggle Bugs Macenzie. Snuggles,whom I often refer to as Pooper Babs Peebody, because she like to poop and she looks like Barbra Streisand and the last part , the Peebody part is what I need help with. I know all...
Hi, I have a dachshund puppy on the way (Frankie, short for Frankfurter). Actually he's not born yet, but I'm hoping to have him by Christmas. My husband doesn't want an inside dog, so I was wondering if these dogs do well outside? I would have a bed and house for...
Last week we answered an ad for 2 female doxies for free. We had wanted a doxie so we went to take a look. The lady who gave them to me thought she had rescued them 18 months ago, but believe me, we rescued them last Thursday from her pen. They looked horrible. They...
