    Dachshund digging problem

    Digging is in their nature, it is not a bad habit I let them form like peeing in the house or tearing up furniture. I wanted a helpful reply not a condescending half answer thank you very much. If I wanted that I would have gone to yahoo answers. I was asking for helpful advice on how to control...

    Dachshund digging problem

    Well, we finally got a chain-link fence put in so our doxy's can be outside as much as they like, and boy do they like it! I know they are notorious diggers, my 10 year old digs until she can't move. We don't mind it, we just side step the pot holes all over the back yard. The problem is my 10...

    Best food for sensitive skin

    I switched her to blue freedom, it has helped a lot. Her fur is growing back in places she hasn't had fur in years. Scratching is almost all gone also, I think what is left of it is just habit. I also switched shampoo this week for her, and only blue buffalo treats now. All of our dogs have also...

    Dachshund color

    I think both parents have to carry the gene to have the dilute pups. I did a little research after she had so many different colors this litter.

    Hi from Tampa :)

    Cookie wears things with no problem, she is good with shirts and such. Her mom does well with most shirts too. They hate diapers! I have tried to put them on when they are in heat, but they only last a minute or two lol

    Thanks :) Our girl was miserable by the end, she had the pups 4 days early. We hoped for 4 pups, the vet saw 8 in the x-ray, and then she had 10! She has been a great mom to have 10 pups her first litter. I also thought the same thing, chocolate ee reds, for the red pups. The boy is very light...
