Proud of the old girl

I just started doing dog sports with my almost 9yr old Mini wire hair. She wasn't sure about Sprinters since it was snowing but she tried! She has 12 out of 150 points towards her novice title and I am so proud of her. She won the Turtle award for the Slowest small dog and I am just happy she ran the line!

My beautiful baby crossed the rainbow today and I’m devastated

I hope she knew how loved she was. Even in hospital she stood up and wagged her tail when she saw me… My grumpy little one. We really thought you would make it.

I’ll always do my nails longer in case you come back for scratches.

Edit: Her name was Tuercas.

Joy Valley Dachshund Ranch

Little farm in rural northern Michigan that's run by dachshunds. There's a few more somewhere in there too.

The road is very low traffic and they're mostly well behaved. But they just can't help having a bark off with the beagles.

What do you mean it is time for my walk? Are you unaware it is cold out there!

Ms. Cleo was unimpressed when I suggesed it was time for pooping and a walk.

Breeder Question

So we lost our boy a couple of years ago and are ready to jump in again. Question, we are dealing with a breeder who asked if we would be willing to keep a male intact. We originally thought we were going to get pick of the litter but then were told but since we are planning on getting the dog neutered we only have two to choose from. Is this normal? what is wrong with the two dogs that aren't "show" dogs?

Ain’t no better sidekick on a short drive to knock out some donations.

Anytime my wife and daughters are running “errands” without me - aka shopping - me and Liz hop in the car and knock out a few tasks on our weekend quests list. Time to drop off these clothes donations off so we can get back to the house and run some Halo Campaign Evolved legendary missions like a true aging Millennial is apt to do!

BATHTIME and zoomies w Daisy blossom + washroom question

Daisy is typically really well mannered and very trainable, she is 3.

About a month ago we moved from a basement suite with a little yard to a bottom floor apartment, that is near the door to outside.

I’m struggling with her using the washroom in the house. I take her out before and after she eats and she usually always pees and often poops but still has accidents. When she uses the potty outside I always praise and reward and I’ve been working on holding a treat at the door till she scratches at it then I give it to her and we go outside. When we were in the basement she would scratch at the door to go outside.

If anyone has any apartment potty training tips please let me know <3

It's been raining for 3 damn days.

He wants to go out, but he definitely doesn't want to go out in the rain! Lol! This boy must have an iron bladder because he's been holding it for up to 6 hours, during the day! I hate it too, little man!

Dachshund proof toys ?

We've been through them all... The tough kongs, indestructible toys, teddy bears, rope toys, for rough dog toys... None of them last... Except the rope toys which they won't touch... My dogs love a toy with a squeaker in them, but they never last more than 10 minutes... Anyone got any suggestions? ( Pics of the troublemakers )
