Do Not Buy From A Pet Shop

im not sure what it is how likely is it that its cancer?

Is it on the front or back of the neck?? I assume you fond it petting her and it is on the back of her neck…

Is it where she was given her shots?? If that is the case don't worry…dogs (just like people) will often get a local skin reaction where a vaccine is given…it is normal and may take a couple weeks to go away completely.

P.S. Cancer is VERY VERY rare in puppies. So at least that is good news

Hi! I just got a new puppy dachshund last week. And she is very very cute and adorable. When I got her, she is very naughty and active. Love to run around and play. The thing that she loves to do most is playing with newspaper. When she jumps on to the newspaper, she will be very excited and love the noise of the newspaper. I am very happy to see her trying to get familiar with the new house.

But when night come, I put her in the crate and she just keep crying and whining all night long until morning. I remember reading from the web saying I should not pay too much attention to her so that will pamper her. But on the other hand, listen to her sad cry really make me having trouble to sleep at night. This is the 4th nights she is with me. But the crying still continues. I need some advice here.

Everyone is going to give me thumbs down for this one but I don’t care, I guess I have a different way with dogs. Well with my Pitt, when she was a pup, I kept her in a proper size kennel at night on my balconey. The key thing is to ignore the cries. They are only crying for attention from you, just making eye contact, can keep them up longer. I still took her out for the day, but when I put her in she would cry, but I would just walk away. Less than a week later, she didn’t cry anymore. My Pitt, sleeps on my balconey now, she never cries, at all, and she is the most loving Pitt I have ever seen. For real, I trust her around my kids, she has never bit anyone or another animal. I trained her to be good……
