I would like to discuss the importance of socializing your doxie. The process of socializing is crucial between 7 and 14 weeks old, however, the process should continue throughout your doxie’s life!
With so many of us having to leave our beloved hounds behind as we go to work, only to come home exhausted after putting in overtime, faced with an eager doxie who wants nothing but our attention and maybe a scratch behind their ears, under these circumstances, it’s easy to wave them off, pour a beverage, and then collapse in the recliner; our little doxie wagging his or her tail and more likely barking for some attention. Sound familiar?
Whatever you do, shunning your doxie only causes him or her to become socially awkward. Socializing consists more than just an occasional meet and greet. It also consists of preparing your doxie for healthy mental development by exposing him or her in a positive way to different sights, smells, and sounds. Socialization also includes interaction, not only with you, but also with other people, dogs, other pets and other objects such as moving bicycles.
A good start to a healthy mental development would be enrolling your doxie in a training class. Ma
ny kennel clubs offer obedience training and agility classes. Miss Molly got her obedience and agility training from our local kennel club. Not only will socializing teach your doxie good training skills, socialization actually trains your pet to interact with different situations, explore without fear, and get to know as much as he or she can about the world around them, thereby giving them a healthier life! The more your doxie is exposed to the outside world in a positive manner, the more he or she will be able to interact with it throughout their life.
It will be easy to give a dog lover a gift this Christmas. Anything that is canine related would surely be appreciated. If you know of any dachshund lover, a dachshund poster, or some dachshund bumper stickers would be the perfect gift for her.

On a lazy weekend, it’s nice to sleep long and wake up late. No one’s stopping you if you want to spend the whole day doing nothing. You can snuggle up in bed till noon in comfortable plaid pajamas.
Pajamas are my sleepwear of choice. They keep me warm and comfy. I can wear them the whole day, especially when I just want to laze around and do nothing.
Christmas time is coming up soon and it’s never too early to start looking for that perfect gift. If the person you’re shopping for is a dog lover, you probably won’t find a shortage of retail options targeted towards them. Dog lover gifts can be found everywhere, from major retail stores to small specialty boutiques—dog gifts are more popular than ever.
Here are some gifts dog lovers will find irresistible: socks festooned with tiny embroidered puppies, a keychain with a doggy charm, a calendar featuring their favorite dog breed, or a sweater for their furry little friend. People’s pets are the way to their hearts and a gift that shows you truly understand their preferences will be a big hit.
Dachshunds are one of the most popular dog breeds in the United States. These little dogs are also ranked first in the Sarah Club statistics. Because of their compact size these dogs are extremely popular with those who live in apartments. Most American cities including; Los Angeles, Chicago and New York, have dachshund clubs.
The breed is also popular throughout Europe. Residents of Poland, Czech Republic, France, Switzerland and Hungary are often owners of the German breed. Since so many people love Dachshunds it’s no wonder gifts bearing the doggy’s namesake are so popular. One great gift idea for wiener dog lovers may be a dachshund wall clock. Every time a person looks up to tell the time they will be reminded of their darling pet.
Exercise is paramount in a Dachshund’s life! A regular exercise routine not only contributes to your Dachshund’s mental health, it also aides in the prevention of unnecessary health risks such as obesity, which is the primary cause of disc injury, a medical condition to which Dachshunds are prone to if proper exercise is ignored. The Dachshund is a lively, energetic breed, therefore they require exercise, which can be met with brisk walks or chasing balls in the backyard (given your backyard is securely fenced!).
My Dachshund enjoys brisks walks around the neighborhood three times a week, and when we’re camping, she loves nature walks. Recently, we hiked a 5.5 mile nature trail in one of our state parks. This picture shows her inspecting a local native of the state park. 
You don’t need a 5.5 mile walk with your Dachshund to ensure he or she is getting enough exercise. Playing chase in the backyard or in the house each day will make certain that your Dachshund is getting the exercise he or she needs to maintain a healthy mind and body!
My little Dachshund, Good Golly Miss Molly, 
would like me to ask visitors to this blog to vote for the t-shirt I designed and entered into the Sport Your Support T-Shirt contest. I have already taken the first step toward an ultimate political glory. To help me win, please take a minute and vote for this t-shirt. Remember, your vote counts! Thanks for the vote!!!
I really don’t know why, but the first time that I saw a dachshund, I just fell in love. It might be that they are so unique from other dog breeds. They have this pitter-patter loveable quality that I think that is missing from other dog varieties.
On my car I have dachshund bumper sticker to let others know that I love my dog and I am not afraid to show it. Through this display I have met many other people who have the same interests that I do.
