Amazing dachshunds
If you're wondering how or why we would own so many Dachshunds The comments on
some of my posts can get crazy/mean/untrue so here's a bit of my story
I love the special connection with other dachshund owners and dog lovers. Our first pets as a family were 2 sweet black Labs, a Golden/ border collie mix, and 2 dachshunds ALL rescues. We started fostering dachshunds and I became very involved in rescue doing everything from fostering, transporting, intake, medical responsibilities, appointed to board member and eventually branching off with a few close friends to start our own 501c3 rescue! (DREAM est.
2013) | opened my dog boarding business LLC in 2011. This allowed me to run a successful business and foster a lot of dachshunds! I also spent 6 months working hands on with a dog trainer/behaviorist. I love this breed and now raise AKC puppies and my #1 responsibility is to place them in the best homes and offer lifetime support. f #dachshundpuppy

It's true, Dachshunds are incredibly playful little dogs! As a proud 'Dachshund Lover' and 'Foster mom' for so many years, I've seen countless doxies with their unique, spirited personalities. They love to chase, dig, and often have a hilarious zoomie session around the house. To keep your 'playful doxies' happy and healthy, I always recommend engaging them with appropriate toys – think squeaky balls, puzzle feeders, or soft plushies they can 'hunt.' Short, frequent play sessions are usually best to match their energy levels without overdoing it. Remember, mental stimulation is just as important as physical play, so training games or scent work can be fantastic for their clever minds! Now, let's talk about something incredibly important for our long-backed friends: stairs. Many new owners, and even experienced ones, often wonder, 'can miniature dachshunds climb stairs?' While they certainly *can*, it's something I strongly advise against, especially for miniature Dachshunds. Their unique spinal structure makes them prone to Intervertebral Disc Disease (IVDD), and repetitive jarring movements like jumping on/off furniture or climbing stairs can significantly increase the risk. As someone who's dedicated to placing 'AKC dachshund puppies' in the best homes and offering 'lifetime support,' I always emphasize prevention. Consider investing in dog ramps for couches and beds. For stairs, train them to use a ramp or carry them up and down. It might seem like a small thing, but protecting their spine is paramount for a long, healthy life. Regular vet check-ups and maintaining a healthy weight also play a huge role in preventing back issues. Finally, for those of you searching for a new furry family member, whether you're looking into '5boro puppies reviews' or other breeders, choosing responsibly is key. As a 'Rescue Advocate' and someone who raises AKC pups, I know how vital it is to find a reputable source. When considering a breeder, look for those who prioritize the health and temperament of their dogs. They should be transparent about health testing, allow you to visit their facility, and be genuinely invested in their puppies' future – much like my own commitment to lifetime support. Ask about the parents, their health history, and the socialization the puppies receive. If you're considering rescue, organizations like DREAM (which I helped start!) are fantastic. Rescues provide incredible dogs with thorough vetting and often come with a support network. No matter where your new companion comes from, ensure they're raised with love and care, setting them up for a wonderful life with you.
