Do mini dachshund smell?

Asked by Wiki User

Yes, they smell very well. If you are wondering if they stink, they don't smell any worse than any other short-haired dog. If it starts to get unbearable, you've waited too long between baths.

My weiner Dog Red just turned 19 in November and his brother just passed away a day before his 18th birthday. I am hoping Red can make it to 20 and make the Guiness Record book.

My mini doxie just had her 19th birthday October 23, 2012. As long as she's not suffering in any way, I hope to have a few more years with her. She is partially blind & can't hear well but other than that, she's fine. With this breed the spine is usually what kills them as the spine affects all their major organs. She's not arthritic, in fact, she has good muscle & bone tone. She can jump down but is fearful to do so as she has no depth perception but gone are the days of getting up stairs or on furniture. God bless all these little doggies!

You should have him checked by a vet. Most dogs experience a dropping sperm count by age six and many will be sterile by age 10. Your vet can test for sperm count and evaluate him for over all health and fitness for breeding.

What happens when you mix a golden retriever and a dachshund?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

== == A Bluemation? A Dalheeler? Blue Heelers were crossed with Dalmatians in the late 19th century to improve their relationship with horses (horses, like people, do not like getting their heels nipped). This is why heelers are born-white, and why some of them are rather spotty. See the related link. So a blue heeler-dalmatian cross would be a slightly more dalmatiany-heeler. But what about a red heeler dalmatian cross? a redalmatian?

Why does your dachshund terrier mix have breathing fits?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Could be allergies. If you are referring to a something that sounds like a cross between coughing and choking it's probably what is referred to a 'reverse sneezing'. Mine do that when they drink water too fast, something to do with a flap in their throat. When it is bad, what I do, and works although it sounds weird, is wrap your hand around their snoot and blow air into their nose (don't blow at their nose, blow into it...not too hard though, it'll make them fart....just kidding, but really not too hard. Just a couple of short puffs seems to do the trick), it flips the flap back the right way.
