r/Dachshund

Hey guys! My puppy Killian is 3 months old and a long haired miniature long hair dachshund. He seems to have a peeing problem? The vet wants to do a urine culture to check for something that could be causing this. Let me explain.

He will go outside for 10-20 minutes at a time and then come in and pee. Even if he pees outside, he will go a little in the house all over doesn’t matter where. Has anyone had any experience with this? I heard potty training these babies can be tough but just wanted come help and maybe information on what to do!

Our favorite weenie Mr C

We are now getting our second longhair miniature. Are we becoming the crazy dachshund people? Our current boy is Myer and he is 2. We are naming the second one Link and get him in a week.

Update on my AMD ThinkPad kernel project (formerly detkernel, now lowakernel)

Posted about this a little while back (https://www.reddit.com/r/LinuxOnThinkpad/comments/1u5s2p2/i_built_a_custom_kernel_specifically_for_amd/)

Renamed it to lowakernel (named after my dog, seemed more fitting and less egocentric, and also because I love this pup so much). Made some changes based on feedback:

- Updated to Linux 7.1.2-zen2

- Added Secure Boot / MOK signing instructions to the README

- Fixed NTSYNC missing from the universal build (it's a module now, loads automatically)

- Enabled CONFIG_ATH_REG_DYNAMIC_USER_REG_HINTS per a suggestion in the comments

- Build scripts and .config files are now in the repo so anyone can verify or build it themselves

Still two variants: universal (Zen1+) and zen5 (Ryzen AI 300, adds 500Hz tick, BBRv3, NTSYNC by default).

He's 9 weeks old

Does anyone have a daschund who likes to swim? Our baby is 5 months old and we got him in winter (it’s still winter here) so we haven’t swum much. But today we went to a tidal pool and expected weenie to stay put and watch us... NO SIR he dove in like his life depended on it, and swam to us holding his head up like a snorkel.

is this okay for their backs or something we should avoid? It was soooo cute but it didn’t look very comfortable for him, I don’t want to strain his body

attached is Arlo and the shells he collected on his adventure 😅🐚

Hi all!

I was wondering what other people’s opinions on this are. Last night I went to a fireworks show and brought my mini dachshund Milo along with me. I made sure he had his favorite blanket and plenty of treats, his water bottle and comfort chew toy with him.

We also set up close to our car just in case he got scared and we had to leave. But to my excitement he did great. He poked his head up a few times when the first round went off and I reassured him everything was okay. I made sure to praise him and give him treats, and after about 10 minutes he just laid on my lap and watched them with me. We weren’t close enough that it was super loud but I did make sure to cover his ears with my hands during the finale.

He is also doing great this morning so it doesn’t seem like it scared him at all. I also think a big help with it was where I live. We have a field behind our house that people have been lighting off fireworks in since the start of June. I made sure to take him out to watch from my back porch to try and desensitize him to the noise once he was comfortable enough to. So I’m just wondering what other people’s opinions are on bringing your dog to fireworks.

This is Rudy I got him when he was only 6 months old ❤️

They are worth it

I totally forgot to post these when Lily’s 16th birthday came around, so here’s a belated post!! Obviously, we had to make her a little (dog friendly) cake AND get her a cute hat!

Also, can we talk about how she actively disassociated in that picture? Girly HATES a photoshoot… or maybe she was eyeing down that cake. 😭😂

Send some birthday love to my girl, Lily! I will gladly give her ALL the pets and kisses.

Does anyone know the best Doggles for my miniature dachshund? (Photo for reference)
