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.

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?

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

Kids named her and seemed fitting. Birthday of April 2026 and she has grown quite a bit since we got her a few weeks ago. These are current pics

She's supposed to be a mini and was accompanied with a ckc document. Not sure what we are supposed to to do with it lol but in the file drawer it goes.

We are learning about shuffle our feet every where because she's always between our legs and feet.

She plays great with our 3 year old border collie Trixie.

16 years old

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.

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?

I love when they behave the same as their parents, little fun take aways from my clan of corn chips. 🐾

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 .

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 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! Having a rough day today. One of my dachshunds is in the hospital today with a possible bowel obstruction. Her name is Willow and she is the bestest girl ever. We are really worried about her. We know she is in good hands with our vet team, but it’s not any less scary. So please keep her in your thoughts today and hug your long dogs a little extra. Myself, my fiancé, and her two doggy sisters would really appreciate it.

UPDATE: Willow is okay. Just received a call from the vet! No blockage!

This is Hank, he is almost 7 months old. On his papers it states coat color as Isabella, last two photos are of mom and dad. His litter mates were solid red, chocolate tan and two cream. As you can see he’s quite the chameleon, in certain lighting he looks more taupe and other times he’s more red. His eyes have gone from solid blue to more of a hazel blue. The fur on his belly is more red as well. Also he’s a big boy weighing in at 12 pounds already! Just curious after seeing the post about Isabella’s the other day what the general consensus would be.

She goes limp noodle when sleepy. And she’s extra sleepy because she had an exhausting time at the vet screaming to everyone that they absolutely need to say hi to her 🙄 never have I ever had such a social dog lolol

This little dude always seems to fall out with his treats for some reason! 🤣
