I picked up our new baby yesterday. Meet Heidi. I got her for my wife's birthday. She's already spoiled and is getting along great with our other dogs.

I am getting a doxiepoo this Friday & I fell in love with the name Tango, but everyone thinks its really weird & prefers Duke, I feel like its just a bit basic and doesn't fit him. What do you guys think, is Tango weird & is there something that'd fit him better? :)

Ps the second photo came from his previous owners, I do not condone holding a puppy like that

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!

Hi everyone, I’m hoping to hear from other dachshund owners who’ve experienced something similar.

Our dachshund has been having coughing episodes like the one in the video for about two years now. The cough comes and goes, seems to vary with the seasons, and can be worse at night. Excitement also seems to trigger it, especially when I get home, when someone comes over, or whenever our dog gets excited.

We’ve seen several vets, and the treatment so far has mainly been corticosteroids. Sometimes they help, but other times they don’t seem to make much difference. Allergy testing suggested an allergy to mites, but we still don’t have a clear understanding of whether that explains the coughing.

It’s really upsetting to hear, especially after dealing with it for so long and still not having it consistently under control.

Has your dachshund had similar coughing fits? If so, what did the cause turn out to be? Were there any particular tests, specialist appointments, or long-term treatment plans that helped?

I’d really appreciate hearing your experiences so I can discuss the next steps with our vet. Thank you!

Not to worry! I told him he was getting ready to fall on his tiny hiny. He gave me a side eye, but moved up. I've never had a dog with this much sass!
