I’m getting a dachshund puppy in two weeks. I’ve already done a lot of research on them, but I wanted to see if anyone with experience had any tips for raising dachshunds. I want to give my Cricket the best environment possible when we bring him home, so any suggestions would be appreciated.
I had a mini Doxie puppy we called Peanut, she was so cute and TINY when we brought her home.She was a pretty easy puppy to train, the only problems I can remember we had with her was at night and electrical cords! She loved chewing on the cords so we had to make sure they were always picked up, or hidden away well where she couldn’t get to them.At night in her crate she would cry and cry as soon as the lites were off, she eventually out grew this, but while she was young and scared away from her mama and litter mates, I would leave the alarm clock close to her crate where she could hear it. It was the kind with the nature sounds, so I left it on the heartbeat, and she would go to sleep no problem, no crying.She lived to be 12 years old, and was a really good little dog, I just loved her!!They really LOVE their toys & eating, never had a problem getting her to eat, in fact she was always a little over weight when she got older! Good Luck to you, Have fun with your new baby Cricket, cute name!!

yea i have a 4 year old dachshund and she is the sweetest dog ever!! the only problem with them is there very smart and spiteful!! there really hard to house break if you don’t start ASAP!! i didn’t know that about them. i would stay with females instead of male dachshunds just because they males seam more timider than anything else. females are more dominate and there really protective.. my mom has a male dachshund and he is sweet but always scared.. but other than that there really good with ppl and they lick a lot.. good luck dachshunds are one of the sweetest dogs ever!!
