What should I know about taking care of dachshund puppies?

Answer by  Edward (115)

Doxies are a blast to raise. Remember they are close to the ground and get under your feet really fast. Do not overfeed even if they are the best beggers you have ever seen. Keep their claws trimmed so they don't slide across the floor. You can dress them in little costumes for holidays.

Dachshund are friendly, active, small dogs; they require space to play around, a bed or blanket to keep them warm, and other basics. Small dogs must get used to family members from the start, because they are nervous. They are prone to infections in the dangling tips of the ears.

The first thing you should do with your Dachshund puppies is take them to the vet to make sure they were born healthy and give any vaccines. The puppies will want to sleep a lot, especially after they are first born. Let them. Puppies need sleep, just like babies. Also, feed them 3 small meals a day.
