I'm planning on getting a small puppy doggy (hopefully a mini dachshund) this summer. I haven't had a new dog since childhood. Do you have any tips/advice. Your puppy looks like a sweetheart! :)

@moearly I love having a puppy, but the first couple of months it was almost like having a baby! She cried a lot and didn't sleep through the night. But we got our routine down after a few months and now she is a great companion. I'd recommend starting training as early as you can and investing in lots of toys for your puppy to chew on. So when the puppy starts chewing on shoes or furniture, you can substitute a toy instead.

Awwh that looks just like my doggy Ollie, he is a mini longhaired shaded cream. Chloe is soo cute!

@watermellie123 Do you have videos posted of Ollie? I'd love to see them.

do long-haired dachshunds require a lot of grooming or just a little?

@vocaloid9112 As far as grooming goes, I just give her a light brush a couple times a week.

Does she shed alot?? Are they easy to train if you start young???

[watermellie123]

@llipinsk No but I will see if I can get one of him up! I also have another long haired doxie named Dexter and he is chocolate and cream which is Ollie's brother.
