FIVE Things You Should Have Before Bringing Your DACHSHUND PUPPY Home

In this video I cover five top things to think about before bringing your puppy home. I have found most things on Amazon here but the two extra dog coat companies are also listed below:
Just to note - with regards the bones - go for the larger knuckle type bones not the thinner rib bones as these may splinter I believe - always review items yourself before purchasing for your dog, I am not a vet or dog trainer.

Our History
We were only getting one puppy, Gracie but then fell in love with Sapphire, Saffy for short and couldn't let her go. Mum is a black and tan and Dad is a chocolate dapple. Gracie is a silver dapple and Saffy is a silver dapple with white. We are fully aware of double dapple issues but she was not bred from two dapples and is very healthy so far. We would not breed from her either.

My dachshund is 17 years old now and still going strong with no IVDD!!! I know i am unbelievably lucky, and I've found myself going through all of these tips through years of trial and error. I'm glad you are using this guide to prepare others while they still have their puppies! As long as you protect their backs (and keep their noses out of trouble) they will be in your life for a very, very long time!

My doxie girl lived two months past her 17th birthday, and like yours she had no trouble with IVDD. She was very healthy I only fed her homemade dog food, the recipe was one put together by a vet with supplements. She died of old age, she had a very happy life with lots of love, and snuggles. I miss her so very much she was my heart.❤

I've had 3 doxies and none have had a problem with IVDD. I think it may be more of a genetic problem. But that doesn't mean not to take steps to protect their backs. Rosie was 18.5 when I lost her, Cinnamon is 16 this month and Jasmine is 12ish. Cinnamon is pretty blind due to cataracts but she still navigates OK.

I agree with all of this… We haven’t had too many serious issues with our 16 week old black & tan brothers chewing, they do get into things they shouldn’t sometimes but we quickly divert their attention to their chews and toys, we also use bitter apple to keep them from chewing what they shouldn’t and it works well. Speaking of them burrowing, we got ours tons of blankets and also carpeted cat scratchers that they can get inside of that they love playing in. It’s like they’re getting into a hole. They also get up in the morning around 7am to go out to potty and go back to sleep for a couple hours also. We also are using collars that so far they’ve done great with. We’ve used the Gentle Leads on our big dogs for pulling and they’ve been a game changer, but we never had to use them on our Doxie’s. None of them have ever pulled, in fact they usually want to be carried for their walk, lol. We’re curious about feeding raw, we’ve never done that but want to with our new boys. I’ll be checking out what videos you have about feeding raw.

Just be mindful of their backs, be patient but persistent with the boundaries, and be ready to have a little heater always by you or on you! :) And maybe consider getting two rather then one. They have bad separation anxiety and tend to be lonely by themselves which prompts them to act out. It really does help them to have a friend

They may be strong chewers but their teeth are not necessarily that strong. I used to give mine bones to chew until Rosie got a slab fracture. She had to have the tooth pulled and the vet cautioned against giving them bones. Just something to be aware of. And yes there are small blankets everywhere. They have steps by the couch and a ramp by the bed. Also doxies have a tendency to become overweight so one needs to guard against that. But they are a joy to have in the house.

@scarlettzo 5 ай бұрын

I have had the same experience with my adorable Dachl, Siggi, now 5 years old. I used to give him bones to chew. Three months ago when he was being inspected for return travel from Europe to the US the vet discovered that BOTH his upper back teeth were fractured, one a few months previously and the other right at the time of inspection. Both teeth had to be pulled. He is fine now, but it hurts me to know that Siggi must have had toothache. And, unbelievably, he never gave a sign that he was in pain. I just shudder to think of it. In our case I think one thing that might have done the damage was a piece of a deer antler, a real one bought in a pet shop, which I remember as being heavy and as hard as concrete. I clean his teeth with an enzyme toothpaste. My only problem with that is that we have a little battle to get the toothpaste on his teeth before he licks it all off to eat it!!!

@bethsojourner6798 5 ай бұрын

@@scarlettzo My Rosie didn't act like she was in pain either. The vet found it during a cleaning appointment and pulled the tooth. She was fine afterwards. Rosie lived to 18.5.

I need to call the vet to help determine the best course of action. Hope you and Siggi are doing well. 😊😊

Start brushing teeth regularly as young pups to get them used to it. Blankets--I look down and only the right side of Bud's tail-end is peeking out from under the covers.

@wendybutler1681 7 ай бұрын

He LOVES playing with towels and blankets. His instincts leave me in awe. He can pick a creep out of a crowd in a heartbeat. The coats and sweaters need to cover their bellies, too. A lot of pavement grime gets tossed yp by their massive feet. Bud is a 17 pound standard longhaired. Harness is vital. They can take off like a rocket at anything that runs. You can also use a sturdy harness to lift them out of trouble with the leash if you need to. I was NOT going to bend down to pick him up and put my face right at mouth level of an angry German Shepherd so I hoisted him straight into my arms and gave the doofus of a shepherd owner a lesson on being a courteous and responsible dog owner. The dog was magnificent. It was a toy, a possession to him, not a companion with it's own wants and feelings. He had no clue how to handle the biggest, best looking German Shepherd I'd seen in nearly 60 years of loving dogs. When I say magnificent I really mean it. Just a pup, too, with no discipline or manners. Massive, gorgeous dog and he was gonna ruin it. Infuriated me and broke my heart at the same time. Poor dog. My golly, that man made me mad! He had no manners, either.

Harnesses are definitely good for dogs if they don't pull but ours have now settled into their collars, hope it goes well xx

@gracieandsapphire both her mum and dad are miniatures, I know that boys are usually a good bit bigger but she's alot smaller than any other female I've seen, and no she hadn't been spayed yet😊

Lost my 3 yr old to ivdd. I had all this stuff. Still happened. I want another but am so afraid of ivdd

@gracieandsapphire Жыл бұрын

This stuff doesn't stop IVDD, I'm going to do a video on recommendations but it's all advice to help reduce the risk. I'm very concerned and worried re my two and can't imagine your pain. There is new testing standards for studs but it will never be 100% ok. 3 is so young, sorry to hear about your loss x

One of your videos shows them jumping up and down rock walls and that's also risky for their spine.

@gracieandsapphire Жыл бұрын

It's a decision you have to make as an owner, after my research I feel activity helps and the majority of ivdd incidents are not from a direct injury, although some obviously are. Definitely restrict them before the age of 1 though.

Mine do too, low level jumping is ok and actually believed to help them muscle up but I try to avoid large jumps x

@Gracie And Sapphire I just got a mini dachshund (she's only 3 weeks so I'm preparing) and your videos are so helpful. I had no idea about double dapple, you definitely helped me in the choosing a breeder process! I'm so excited to have my own saffy/gracie!

Do you recommend a ramp over steps for the couch/bed? We also have some stairs, should I NEVER let her go up them? (Baby gates are optional for sure)

@gracieandsapphire Жыл бұрын

So, either is fine and I follow Lenny and six dachshund for lots of advice on their backs and when to let them up the stairs and down. Up is not so bad but down is best to wait till they are 8 months, she has worked with lots of rescue dachshunds so gives great advice xx

Noooo way please dont feed any dogs rawhide or bones! So dangerous can be fatal for dogs! They can splinter and get stuck so easily kill dogs. I’ve seen it myself someone gave there dog a lamb bone and the poor dog had to be pts while I sat in the waiting room. Totally agree with the rest of the video. Love my mini dashy girl x

They are air dried bones so absolutely fine, cooked bones splinter, rawhide is a natural unbleached bison product so no toxins x
