A piebald dominate color is not always white. They must have four white paws and a white tip tail. Some look like beagles with the dominate color being red, white, brown, brindled, etc. A double dappl

I think i might have the anwer. my two dogs used to do this, too, when we got our first beagle puppy. maybe your older male dachsund is jealous like you said, or he feels the puppy cannot protect hims

dogs are just that disgusting

Because thats there way of introducing themselves like we say our names and shake hands they sniff each other buttts. Also, they want to know if the other dog means harm or not to them.

I'm not really sure, but one of mine does that too...kind of like he's skipping... The one that we had when I was little did the same thing. I'm not possitive, but I think that it's just that dachsund

I hope this gives you some comfort. My doxie has watery eyes and he gets 'crusty' along his nose like a chihuahua or shih-tzu might get. My vet has always said that he has allergies of some kind. My d

doxie's can be hard to house train but if you get puppy training mats then train them to the garden .doxie's are good with older children.

Yes it is. And to think about it, every human year is 7 years for a dog.

Absolutely! My dachshund Sofie went through the same except she had 2 still borns. It's almost as if she is filling a void by taking care of "her family". Sofie now takes care of anything

I've never heard of this happening to an animal after spaying. Probbly best to take her to the vet just in case. Or you could call and inquire as to what the vet thinks, sometimes they will let you kn

No dog is supposed to have chocolate EVER.

I had one that lost hair too, she needed supplements and was fine. At 15 this is pretty normal. And tea tree oil shampoo will help her skin, especially if she's itchy.

it could be anal glands that need to be emptied out. i have a mini dachshund that needs to get hers emptied once every 2 weeks. I can always tell when they are full cause she gets a bad smell.

Does he look like a dachshund? Yes it is possible that he can be colored that way because of breeding for certain colors in recent years it is very possible. I didn't know any of this before hand I ju

I don't know if this will help or not, but it helped my Cavachon. He had diarhea AND constipation. The vet even x rayed his stomach(for free) to see if that was the problem. Finally, he suggested Pro
