    Real Dachshund?

    I’m sorry to hear of your loss. This is my first Black and Tan. The last one was red, a female. She was also my soulmate. My wife passed on, will be 3 yrs this November, so the dog Sally consumed most of my time after that. A friend gave her to me. I never knew her age, but I was the 3rd...

    Real Dachshund?

    he had ear mites, but the vet gave him something that cleared it up. He's a comforting dog and I love him. He's very active and rambunctious. I have some photos on my phone just need to get them off my phone. Will post photo later. Phones don't make good cameras imo, but the files on camera...

    He is. Little needle like teeth lol. He’s biting everything in sight. That’s a great idea. He’s also got tons of energy

    Just long imo. I named him Mann. A lot more energy than I anticipated. Although I have a chew toy for him, he’s biting everything, including me lol

    Real Dachshund?

    I got him! It was not nearly as long a drive as you had but still to long. About 2.5hrs. Then after we got there we had to wait another 45 min for her to show. My anxiety was up big time. I held him all the way home. He was as tired as I was I imagine from being cooped up in a car that...

    I pick him up tomorrow at 7pm. I hope. The last time she had a death in her family. If nothing else happens, it’s tomorrow. I can’t wait. I’m going to call him Mann. Actually after an old working pal. Let me see if I can post a photo. He was born on March 26th.

    Real Dachshund?

    I thought I was picking him up Friday, but it’s Sunday. Lack of communication I suppose. I’m going to try the Diamond Naturals first, since I bought a big bag of it. I also bought a pre/probiotic supplement with an enzyme in powder form. I don’t know about that though. Pretty darn...

    Real Dachshund?

    I was feeding every dog I've had Pedigree in the can from Kroger. It has corn in it which I understand dogs find hard to digest. Also Kibbles and Bits as a dry dog food. I question both of these. Although I don't think this had any impact on why my last dachshund passed within 3 yrs. She...

    Real Dachshund?

    Not sure. I'll post a photo when I pick him up Friday. I'll let you know his age then. I'll try giving him Diamond Naturals for puppies to start with. Also I ordered a pre, probiotics mix that's a powder to add to his food. But I'm still wondering what should I feed him. On this subject...

    Real Dachshund?

    I admit I was a little concerned. Pick him up on the 15th. I might ask for papers, but I want to see what mamma looks like for sure. My main concern is his health. I'll do my part, but from experience getting an animal who already has health problems is a sure fire setup for disappointment...

    Real Dachshund?

    Thanks, I’ve always liked the breed. They’re sad eyes cut deep. I did purchase him online. He’s in my home state, a couple of hours away. I’m hoping that this one will live as long as my first one did. 15 yrs, but then again, he might outlive me. I’m not a teenager lol. He won’t be ready...

    Real Dachshund?

    I had an adult who was 6 or 7 and she passed away 2 or 3 weeks ago. I loved every dog I’ve ever owned, but this was a special one. My heart still aches

    Real Dachshund?

    I’ve had 3, but only one puppy which was very long time ago. I guess I’d forgotten about the “puppy” look. He’s cute. I can’t pick him up until the middle of next month. I imagine he look different as he ages somewhat. As long as he’s healthy I won’t worry anymore. I can’t wait to get him...
