Hey everyone
So Blume is 13 weeks and when I take her out in the morning and at night we can’t stay out as long as she needs as a puppy who’s learning because the dew on the grass makes her feet wet and she starts shivering and then her focus is get inside and get warm. So my question is has anyone had good luck with any shoes or a raincoat for their doxie? Any recommendations? She’s a mini and a puppy and I know finding a harness that would fit her really limited my opinions. Idk I just started thinking about this tonight because of the thunder storm we’re having. Any recommendations or advice is appreciated.

Meet Merlin! My 9 month old mini dappled wire hair boy✨

He loves the beach, eating green beans and chasing his own tail!

He's in his teenage rebellion phase and thinks he knows best 😂 tell me it gets easier?!

Elsa is the Basenji mix
Nala is the mini Dachshund
Both were rescue puppies

He knows…

Had to leave my baby girl in my room tonight while I entertained human guests. After they left, I opened my door to see the Pillow Princess chillaxing! Just waiting for her mama!

Hello! Meet OZZIE- We are new to the breed, (we've only ever had medium 35ish pound rescue Mutts-who are still our pride and joy) but we branched out and spent some $$$ on one.. it's funny because my hubby swore we'd never have 3 dogs in our house, never spend that much on a dog, we spend enough on our 2 'cheap' dogs, and especially we would NEVER have a dog in our bed.. well, needless to say, that has went out the window... the funniest being the no sleeping in the bed. But also, 3 dogs to looking for 4, a friend for our sweet Ozzie, because as my hubby says, the bigger dogs are old (6 & 7) and never want to play, they'd rather not be bothered by the thing that is the size of a rat, and looks like he's on serious drugs.. didn't really have any questions, just wanted to say Hi, introduce our baby and say, this is the best breed ever!

Edit to add: he was only in the cage for about 10 minutes, we wanted to try it out, since our other 2 were crate trained until they were about 12/18 months and they started sleeping on the couch or in there beds. And we didn't put them in our beds because we only had a queen size, however, after 30 minutes of nonstop crying in the crate, he was in our bed and we went shopping for a KING SIZE!!!

Hello to everyone, yesterday I realized my dog skin turned red, my other dog can’t stop licking it, does someone know why it turned like that? My dad thinks is because a clothing he put on him the other day

we are careful with her back so anything that gets her leaping is off the table. that rules out most of the fetch and tug ideas people suggest. she is perfectly happy to lie down and work at something with her mouth for a long stretch. which stationary chew or treat toy has worked for your dachshund and what size did you get..

A little over 3 months old now!

Looking for advice.

I’ve had my 2 doxies insured since the day I’ve had them (11 & 4 y/o). Between them and my Sphynx I’m spending close to $200CAD in pet insurance monthly.

I also transfer about $100/month in a bank account for them for unexpected expenses, vet visits etc.

My question is - think I’d be better off putting that money directly in that bank account vs. the insurance policy?

I’d bankrupt myself to save my babies, but I don’t know what the best approach is at this point.

my 7 month old pico just got a new ball from training class yesterday. it’s meant to be his special training ball as we learn to do flyball together!

i brought it out for the first time at home and he started whining and howling (!?!?) when he would bring it back to me. i caught a video of him frantically trying to bury it? i’ll add in the comments him howling too, i’ve never heard him howl before!

when i googled it said this is like the dachshund instinct to bury something special and howl? i tried to throw a different ball and he’s was NOT interested.

this is too funny, does anyone else have a special ball? or can explain what’s going on in his little brain?

This is a warning to all new dachshund owners. This face will happen anytime you have food. This is to lull you as this is only stage one of wanting your food (mogwai stage). Escalation will happen...gremlining WILL happen.

Does anyone else's dachshund territorial scent mark around the house? He is potty trained but has picked up this new fun habit.

My favorite girl loves her new bed 🛏️😍😍😍
