Mine's at the 10 months mark in a few weeks too and I'm still having some potty issues with her. I know it's typical of the breed but it is a bit frustrating. My problem is when I look away for a few minutes she goes potty in the corner. She knows its bad because as soon as she sees me see...

I would suggest the other room so you can get some sleep... I know lots of people suggest the calming and being in the same room, but doxies have so much separation anxiety as it is, it's probably good to start them younger. My doxie could "hold" it 8hrs at 11 weeks, so if you set your alarm...

FYI - I took Farfel to the vet on Friday for her spay, she's now a cone head for a week... poor thing. Anyway, asked about the skipping and the vet extensively checked her and said that it is probably just a "quirk". She might have done it a couple times on a cold day and got used to it...

I found this on another forum, so I'm going to try not to freak out since she's going to the vet on Friday anyway! :) This sounds much like what she's doing. Our Sprinkles (she's 9 months old) walks like that except she actually does a little hippety hoppety on her right leg and lifts up...

Everything on that page seems much more severe than this appears. This is literally like a human skipping a long. It's almost like she's just skipping because her front legs are going faster.

Hi All, I'm a bit worried... The other day on a weeny walk people noticed Farfel was "skipping" on her back leg. Almost like a limp. One person mentioned that their doxies had done it too and it was "normal"... I'm wondering if anyone knows what this could be? I don't notice it inside, if I...

Love it! So cute... I live in an apartment building right now so I toss a ball down the hall and she goes!

Farfel doesn't bark at all either... The only time I hear anything is when I leave her she might do a small whiney bark, but mostly just whines, or recently she does a low "woof" when she chases another dog... It sounds funny as well, I don't even know how to describe it properly. Ha! Glad...

I'm not an expert, but I know Cesar does it on a reward type basis... So bring another unfamiliar dog out that you know won't hurt her, at a bit of a distance and before she starts crying, give her a treat or favourite toy as the dog is nearby. Then she associates seeing the dog with an...

I always think this is adorable, but wanted to weigh in with others. My weeny "groans" about everything like she's a 90 year old. Mostly it's when she's sleeping and I move her, she's groan at me. Last night though, she was groaning herself in her bed every time she tossed and turned. Is this...

I feed Farfel twice a day 1/3 cup each time. Then very few treats along the way. She keeps going back to her bowl now wanting more though, which is new.

Definitely a great idea for outdoor doors! Or those who tend to bolt. Thought right now if I'm not with my weeny she's in a crate so a dot that doesn't move isn't very exciting.

Farfel just turned 4 months and she's just under 6lbs... She'll only be 9lbs at full size. That's pretty tiny!

Oh I've seen those here.

Farfel definitely has some coats. My mom (gramma) is getting her some boots for Christmas though since we'll be going to even colder weather! It's definitely the cold... She also doesn't like the grass and much as pavement to walk on... I think some boots will help that though. She pulled...
