Do Dachshunds Shed?
Yes, they do shed. Even Odie, our short-haired Dachshund sheds his hair. It is only about one half inch long and somewhat course, but does come out especially around his neck where it is a little longer. Our two
Dog Gates for the House
Every pet owner should consider strategic locations to place one or more dog gates in the house to isolate their animals from visitors or simply to keep them from total access to the house. This is especially

If you happen to own Dachshunds and you were wondering about buying a Snuggie for your dog, you may want to read the Snuggie for Dogs Review. The review examines the Snuggie featuring Odie as the test subject and
I’m a Pooper Scooper
It was difficult to bend over today with my sore back and I wish I had a pooper scooper to pick up Odie’s poop. But alas, no such luck and I had to resort to going down on one knee to scoop up the mess. It was
Pumpkin and Chicken Dachshund Food Recipe
We switched our dachshunds over to a new homemade pumpkin and chicken dog food recipe. Chloe – who is very finicky – just loves it. The main reason we switched to this diet is to bulk up Odie’s poops so it will
Odie is So Anal Gland: He Needs More Fiber
Odie was back at Midtown Veterinary Clinic last Saturday. He had problem walking so with my over protective imagination, I thought he injured his back again. His symptom was that he would walk a few feet then sit,
Greg Lenoir Saves His Dog From Shark Attack
This is sorta off Dachshund topic, but it brings back some nightmares I had while we were considering relocating to Florida a few years back. I had an insane fear of one of my Dachshunds being eaten by an alligator.
Our Dachshunds Need A Bigger Bed
Our sleep was interrupted this morning with a loud “clunk.” Usually that means that I feel asleep watching TV and the remote slipped off the bed and hit the wood part of the sleigh bed. Last night we
Dachshunds to Celebrate National Donut Day
Today we’re taking a walking down to Krispy Kreme to Celebrate National Donut Day to get four free donuts; one for Chloe, Odie, Molly and of course a donut for me. Not that I let them eat the whole donut, but my
Stressful Week For the Dachshunds
Last week our house was painted by Eric Ortlieb, an excellent Thousand Oaks/Westlake Village Painter. His team of painters were in and out of the Doxie’s backyard causing the Dachshunds, especially Odie, to start
Yesterday Was Dachshunds Dog Bath Day
Yesterday was time to give the Three Dachshunds a bath. We used to send them out to the groomer at PetSmart, but since Odie ruptured his disk, I’ve been giving them baths. Since I’m a perpetual
Molly is So Soft
Molly has the finest baby hair you can imagine. I never knew how she keeps it so soft, but now I know… Molly eats fabric softener dryer sheets. She especially likes Bounce. It makes her fur soft and static free.
The Doxies are happy vacation is over
The dogs are happy that we’re back at work this week. They can go back to their routine of sleeping all day long. The past few days they didn’t know what to do with them selfs. As soon as it hit 9:00 PM,
Doxie Video of Odie and Chloe
I’m not really a YouTube fan but I like their service and I can post some videos of our three Dachshunds up there for free. For some reason, I can only record 14 seconds on my cell phone but at least you can see a
Dog Food Recall: Just Cook (for) your Weiners
Like all pet owners, the recent recall of dog and cat food really had us scared. Lucky for our three doxies, their favorite food (Ceasers) was not on the list of recalled dog food. (Dog Thoughts: Bag Means Walkie
Isn’t it strange how dogs associate things? For instance, I’ll go to the kitchen and pull out a plastic baggy and Odie will immediate run to the front door. Either he’s reading my mind that
Hard to Clean Dachshund Stains
Dachshunds are stubborn dogs. Especially when it comes to potty training. Molly still has her occasional “accident” when she forgets to go #2 in the morning. When she was first learning, every night she

Celebrity Names for Dachshunds

Adam Katz (Secrets of a Professional Dog Trainer) wrote a really good puppy
It was a strange day yesterday. It started of with Odie marking his territory on top of cat poop — cat poop that our absent minded cat left on the carpet in the library area. Usually, one of the Dachshunds will
Someday if my wife would ever let me get a RV, we could take all three Dachshunds on vacation with us. Here’s the first Website I would visit to find some Dachshund friendly campgrounds: RV enthusiasts who travel
I spent a good part of the day updating the Three-Miniature Dachshund site today which did not leave much time for our three Doxies: Chloe, Odie and Molly. I hope you like the new format. The links were getting a little
Dachshunds are very resilient dogs. I’m reminded of this every time Odie lifts his hind leg to pee. Something so common to a male dog brings tears to my eyes only thinking that 7 months ago Odie was paralyzed and
Eighty-five year old Mary Woodbridge and her 4 year old Miniature Dachshund Daisy are planning to climb Mt. Everest. You must visit her Website and watch the training videos. Too funny!
My poor little Odie hurt his back. We were in the backyard tossing the ball back and forth and he stopped playing. I think he twisted his back or something. He’s walking but you can tell he’s in pain. In
I’m sad to say, Molly was spayed today, All day I prayed, She would return okay. All right, I know I’m not a poet… Molly was spayed today which means we’re not going to have little miniature
