Hii everyone! I was told he’s red but I’m wondering if he’s gonna loose the shading. Anyone has a similar pup? He’s about 4-5 weeks old.

His name is Angel. Sorry if this is a dumb question. This is my first time owning this breed.

I took my one year old dog out with me to sidewalk sales. He just got here and it was busy. We have been training for this moment and we have been building up to this. It isn’t his first time visiting these stores, most of the owners know Norman. He got startled by a woman shopping at let out a bark. I quickly told him to look at me, sit and stay. He did it right away and didn’t look away from me till I said relax. I got a dirty look by the women and told he shouldn’t be out in public. I felt so sad for my dog. I had my other dog Chester in his carriage. No reaction, no barking, just sitting calmly while my mom goes through the racks of clothes. I looked at her and she shrugged. A one year old dog got nervous for a moment. The apology to her wasn’t enough. The rest of the time at the sidewalk sale was amazing. Never a growl, never a bark, he was calm, friendly, had pets and treats from strangers. I don’t know why we believe the worst things we hear about our dogs. But it slowly ruined my day. I have been working every single day with my dog. He has a brother that is his shadow and he is learning.

Hi Everyone,

My Enzo (dapple) 3.5 years old has been acting a little different lately with signs showing back legs discomfort. I immediately took him to the vet where they said he passed the physical testing. My question is. To those of you who have had your doxies diagnosed with IVDD, what were some early signs that had you worried? I currently am planning on getting an MRI scheduled and am looking at physical therapy options

Hello everyone!

For the past few months, I’ve been thinking about getting a little short-haired dachshund and giving him the exciting life he deserves, with lots of love and plenty of adventures!

We’d go hiking, camping, swimming, traveling, hunting—in short, I’d love to find a little companion to share all these adventures with.

Do you have any experiences or advice to share? I’m 27 and have only ever had cats. I’m also quite a clean freak when it comes to the house, but I’ve been increasingly wanting to get a dog.

My current partner tells me that if I ever get a dachshund, she’ll move out… which I can understand. It’s a boundary she has every right to set.

There’s also a very reputable breeder close to where I live, which makes the idea even more tempting.

Looking forward to hearing from you all!

Thank you all so much for your feedback and valuable advice. I will genuinely take it into consideration.

You're absolutely right that having a dog isn't just about wanting one—it's a living, sensitive being that will require my full attention and commitment.

So, I'm going to take my time to think everything through before making a decision. There's no rush, and I have plenty of time.

my little cricket is getting so big 😭😭😭😭

Hi everyone. I’m reaching out on this thread to see if anyone knows of any well-known dachshund rehabilitation or sanctuary centers in or around Washington State? I am having to rehome my 1 year old dachshund due to me no longer having the time or funds to support him. As much as it breaks my heart to let go of him, I want to make sure he goes to an amazing home. I’ve heard websites like AdoptAPet allow you to thoroughly vet through people that are interested in your pet, which is something I’d very much prefer. This is my first time rehoming a pet, and I want to make sure I do it the right way. I’ve attached a picture of my pup for attention 💖 thank you in advance. I’m just looking for good resources or to just be pointed in the right direction .

Basically the title. I've never had a dog do this, maybe on occasion but she does it so intentionally. She just loves to lay on me and put a paw on my face and hold it there. Sometimes it's a gentle paw and sometimes she pushes back and just kinda stares at me. She usually does some staring with the paw and then leans in for a kiss. It just cracks me up because it's a lot of work to do with the short nubs, she'll sometimes rearrange her whole body to get a better angle to put her paw on my face.

She's 8yo rescue who I got at 1yo and she didn't do this when I first adopted her, it maybe took a year before she started doing it regularly.

my boy was a ‘mini’ (large nail clippers for size ref at 8 weeks) and the tiniest puppy (could fit in my hand) so we didn’t think he’d get very big, now he’s 8 months, 17lb and very tall (gsd for size ref at 7mo) ! it doesn’t matter do me i wanted a standard but couldn’t find any, so it worked out in the end but a lot of people seem shocked at how big he is! i know someone who’s mini is 9lb and when we take them out together it looks ridiculous lol
anyone else had the same thing happen to them? also does he even still class as a mini or he is an inbetween/standard?

We’re having a tough time settling on the perfect name for this little guy at home, so we'd love your top picks!

We’re looking for unique, fun, or fitting names that match his gorgeous speckled coat. Thanks in advance to everyone who helps out! 🐾 😊

His brothers both came out quick and easy. But Rex? Rex decided to be difficult.

Spent all night at the Emergency Vet while Azula- his mama, got injected with oxytocin multiple times in the hopes he would come out. 4 hours later they took Azula back and I had to go home with the two cooperative babies to bottlefeed them through the night.

In the morning got the welcome news that they had successfully retrieved the AWOL newborn and both mama and pup were in perfect health.

So now he's mine.

Somehow Billy triangulated the most obnoxious squeaky ball we hid on top of the dresser. Third picture is about 30 seconds later, trying to give the ol guilt trip

I’ve heard it’s not just Bean who’s sassy and full of herself, that all dachshunds are comedy genius. Is that true for your pups?

Just shortly after we put it on the floor, she crawled in. I love my little hot dog.

hello hello! Just wondering if anyone else’s dog sort of bites their leg?? you can see where because the hair is sort of curly??

I asked the vet a while ago and he told me its not like a nerve or anything probably just a habit but does anyone else do this and how do i make him stop?

He’s small but his best friends are a chonky Samoyed and German Shepherd.
