Dachshunds? -NTTGPR

luckygal3 · September 2010

Obviously NTTGPR, but lately I've noticed lots of Doxies in siggy pics. How many of us on here have doxies? I'm a little doxie crazy, I spot them everywhere.

We have 2, Baron and Duchess. Baron is a 2 year old smooth coat chocolate standard weighing in at 24 lbs. Duchess is our rescued baby. She is a smooth coat black and tan miniature weighing in at 10 lbs. Our best guess is that she is 2 years old but a few months younger than Baron. We celebrate her adoption day December 6th, 2008. She was a late wedding gift from DH but she is totally a Daddy's girl.

What about you?

I'm actually part of a group that gets together and has "puppy playdates" every few months. We hold them at Doggy Daycares. Its so much fun to see 50+ Doxies all running and playing together!

We are Doxie crazy too!

We have two, Raspy and Misses Dash (or Boo and Doodlebug). Raspy (boy) is a black and tan wirehair. Dash (girl) is a a black and brindle shorthair. They are almost 5 years old. They are only three months apart in age and have the same daddy (we got them from a breeder).

And we have an angel fubaby, Baby Cole. We lost her almost 6 years ago, but we still miss her very much.

I love being a doxie mommy!

I have one named Buddy. He is 1 year old weighing in at 18 pounds. We also recently loss one to a reattlesnake bite. We miss her dearly and she will always be in our hearts. She was 6 years old.

I have a mini doxie named Destiny. She is black and tan. And she is a shiiit. But, I love her so much. I think she's got little dog syndrome though. I don't know what we are going to do when we have a baby.

They have very strong personalities don't they? I'm a little nervous about them with a baby too. I think Duchess will go into "Momma Mode" and be protective and caring but Baron is my little man and he can be very needy. I'm worried he will have some jealousy issues.

I am so sorry for your loss. I feel like they are my babies and I would be devastated if anything every happened to them...

I have two lovable little doxies! They are both mini and long-haired. I keep them trimmed (so they almost look like smooth ones) except their ears and tails. Punky is 9 years old and she is the red one in my siggy. Zoey is the black and tan one and she is 4 years old.

I love being a doxie mommy too. They are both snuggling with me right now. Duchess is laying on top of Baron. I can't imagine one without the other. They are the best of friends.

Thanks Smile I was hoping to see more pictures of doxies on this post!

We have one a black and tan mini named Rosemary. She is 3 and definitely in charge! My family has had doxies since I was little so I am definitely hooked. For those wondering how their doxie will do with a LO, I can tell you that Rosemary and DS are BEST FRIENDS. My son cannot get enough of the dog and even plays mini tug-a-war with her. They are great together.

I have a doxie as well!! His name is Derby and he is a black and tan. He was rescued from a family who should not be pet owners. His momma was a mini and his dad was half and half so he weighs about 13 pounds...Doxies are the best!!

MrsTran021310 · September 2010

My doxie is out of snuggle mode right now and I hate that. It will work out great when we do have a baby.

Do any of you have issues with your doxies licking? Ours licks ALL the time. The couch, tables, her paws, our feet and hands. Haven't been able to figure out how to get her to stop.

I will show you my wiener (SFW! Big Smile ).

Sorry if my wiener is huge.

My Punky is a licker! So yucky Sad She mostly sticks to the sheets/covers, couch, and her paws. I try to stop it when I see her, but she just stops until next time.

I don't have the pleasure of being a Doxie mom but I have a Doxie "cousin". DH's Aunt is the proud mama of Mrs. Beasley (PIP) and I just love that puppy to pieces!! She's adorable. Just wanted to share and add more Doxie pics.

We have 2, Cassi & Toby. Cassi is an 8-yr old smooth coat red mini and weighs 9lbs. Toby is a 7-yr old smooth red (with some black marks) mix. We were told he's a mini, but he's built more like a standard (kinda half way between the sizes) and is 24lbs. Both were gifts from DH, Cassi when we lost a previous dog, Toby for my birthday.

ms.ashleyjean · September 2010

I love to see all the doxies moms!! I am a proud doxie mom to a miniature long haired red weenie! She is about 12 lbs. Her name is Elsie and she is a spolied little girl for sure! She is our first weenie and we are hooked!

Did you know there's an actual term for those? They are called tweenies. All of ours have been tweenies. Not tiny enough for minis, but not standard either. Our little girl is 14 pounds and our little boy is 18, though he topped out at 21 before his back surgery last year (never overweight, just his build; doctor never told us to have him lose weight).

We got our little girl after we lost our first. I didn't think I could handle having another, but DH missed it too much (we were devasated when we lost our first), so I agreed earlier than we intended. Long story about how we got our second, but I couldn't imagine not having them both! And they really helped us heal.

We consider Baron a standard because he's built like a standard. He is all muscle and his weight isn't quite enough to be an official standard.

Love that you posted this! We have 2 doxies. Both minis with smooth coats. We rescued ours and take them to a festival for Dachshunds every year. They are the best dogs!!

Baron we got off Craigslist. He was the result of a backyard breeder and was in HORRIBLE conditions. There was no way I was leaving him there. He had fleas, extra toes, an umbilical hernia (bellybutton), and worms. My poor baby. Duchess was rescued through Midwest Dachshund Rescue. What event do you go to? We always go to Midwest Dachshund Rescue's Crosstown Bark-a-thon in Chicago every May and to Germanfest in Milwaukee every July. We've considered going to Midwest Dachshund Fest in Danville, IL in September but we've never made it.

Ours is a tweenie, too.

Chester licks a lot, and he also sucks on his blankie and toys. As long as it's his own stuff he's licking, I don't mind. I can't stand it when he tries to lick the lotion off my legs though. Gross!
