Can you give us an update? How's it going?

I made this, like a pillowcase but doubled up fleece. It kept Georgia cosy at night since she had to sleep by herself.. Daytime...

Yes it's better if he could relax in his crate. Please go to dodgerslist and chat with folks who have a lot of experience with dealing with this. Please keep your vet updated with what is going on. They may have some helpful advice. Edit: We posted at the same time. Do not have him up on the...

He can recover from a wobbly back end but he does have to have a full 8 weeks crate rest. It's a waiting game. If he still has bowel and bladder control, that's very good. Try to keep him comfortable and remember that he can further injure himself, which is why the crate is so important. If you...

Yes, he can recover! Use a spare leash or a scarf to support the back end. Cut back his food a bit so he doesn't put on extra weight while on crate rest. What's the pain med he's on? Some pain meds must be given with food.

He likely should have been crated from the first symptoms. Carry out to potty, use a sling for the back end, carry back to crate. If going to the vet, ride in a crate. Please go to dodgerslist for support. Keep us posted.

Please see the vet and get the correct meds. They must be anti-inflammatories. And the sooner the better. Wobbly back legs is considered an emergency. Please get her in somewhere. There are many people who have seen a full recovery but the doxie needs time to heal. It will take weeks, not...

Looking at the ear photos, the red does not look as solid as it would look on a solid red dog. I'd be very suspicious that she is also a dapple. There are 2 things working against you. 1) She has a lot of white so you can't see what the red would look like and 2) you do not know her lineage and...

I leave water and a kong and a tire for chewing but they don't really have an interest in chewing while I'm away. The kong and tire are always in the place they were left. Dachshunds are bred to hunt. Long ago I started my first dachshund to hunt indoors. I would show him a ball, put it behind...

Hi and Welcome from Canada! Thank you for adopting an adult! It does take time for a new fella to settle in and get used to the routine. Try to be patient, although I totally understand your frustration. Can you give him exercise in the morning first, then feed him? I usually do that with...

It's hard to say from the photos because I can't see the ears on the red pie very well and she doesn't have much red on her. Can you see if there's any dappling on her ears or any where else that have red?

Thank you for asking before going ahead with the breeding. You didn't post any photos of the dogs in question and you asked for color combinations without saying what color the double dapple male was. Unless you know the pedigree of the dogs you won't know what they are carrying in regard to...

Love the photos!! lol Congrats on your new addition! Our best wishes for many healthy and happy years together. Good for you posting photos on your first post!

Congrats! Is this your first doxie? Hope you'll be posting more photos for us and let us know what kind of adventures you share.

He's adorable! He looks like he'll be a standard size. Do you know how much the parents weigh?

Will the puppy be 8 weeks when you pick him up? Big CONGRATS!!! Can't wait for photos! What color and coat are you getting?

What an excellent job you've done! I've seen so many sweaters where the doxie's keel is sticking out the neck hole. Love the artistic flair! Lovely! Hope there are more pics coming!

Out of the 4 doxies we adopted from a show breeder, the breeder said to bring the dog back if there was a problem. They insisted on it. Gives you some peace of mind when trying it out. I think reputable rescues will as well but they really do look for a home that is the best fit for the dog...

At least show breeders are invested in making sure their dog will walk on a leash and be exposed to all sizes of dogs and have people handle them. My favorite command that they will know is 'look at me', which keeps their attention on you when out for walks and there's something they need to...
