He is such a little Dude. He always greets me with a big kiss and gets so excited when I get home from work. I want to get another one as company for him but I think that might be a bad idea asI don't think I can take 2 with me when I go places. Where ever I go that Duke is welcome.

Her back leg is slightly bowed, but the vet told us it may not be a problem. Roxanne is now two years old, and is the most intelligent dog I've ever met. She loves to eat, bark, and bite, but that is just part of owning a doxie. Report Spam or Abuse RE: Breed Information: Dachshund Post By Larry (Guest Post) (02/26/2008) Hi, my name is Bailey.

When he returns the next day and watches a little telly, I just love to get cozy on his lap and dream of one day tagging along. I'm only 10 months old but I'm worried about getting back problems later on. What other vitamins do you recommend I take to avoid it and is there a test to determine if I might be predisposed to this kind of problem?

I am a professor, so when we got a 2 year old rescue dog that had been in a puppy mill (and had been in a crate continuously for literally months at a time) we had a real pottie training challenge. We managed to teach Ziggy by using crate methods, but keeping her with us (me mostly) pretty much 24/7. Initially, I took the dog out very regularly, but gave negative feedback when she had accidents. Gradually I lengthened the time b/w out trips, and let her out of the crate (to roam under my home office desk) more often. Using this method of basically 24/7 monitoring, negative reinforcement of inhouse accidents, followed by immediate trips out, and positive reinforcement for successful out trips, we managed to train a "ruined" dog in about 2 months.

The vet had said that it looked like he was scared to death by something, but the owners don't know what could have scared him. Has anyone heard of this before?

We have two miniatures, a black and tan wirehaired female and a red shorthaired male. We are worried about their backs as well, so we have started giving them puppy vitamins every day after they eat. We got a general vitamin and one specifically for joint health, both found at Petsmart or other similar stores. We also give them Brewer's Yeast to help with dandruff and to make their coats really soft. You can also buy Eukanuba Dachshund breed specific food which contains all of these vitamins as well. We found that the separare vitamins fit our buget a little better, but then you can easily forget to give them too. So it's really up to you which way works better.

Report Spam or Abuse RE: Breed Information: Dachsund Post By Sue (Guest Post) (04/05/2006) The Dachshund has a history of back ailments and should not be allowed to jump off of things-even as high as a sofa or chair. They are very daring and will automatically jump, but the long back is weak and is susceptible to an enormous amount of injuries. I have had 11 of them over the past 35 years, wonderful pets, but do have spinal problems. No other breed is as wonderful a dog as the Dachshund. The potty training is difficult, but patience is the key, as with any dog. I have gotten several adult Doxies through the Rescue Organizations. These dogs are sometimes very abused and they all need someone to love them.
