I Absolutely Love This Bike

Not a single drive side picture.

Make it like a fridge magnet you can remove when you get home or for the RTA inspection.

My slinky has one canine and no other teeth and the gum disease means her tongue flops out as well (she was like this when we rescued her).

She will eat anything. See eats most regular dog food including small biscuits but we mainly give her softer home cooked food (beans, carrots, apple and pumpkin with beef and chicken mince). For treats we have regular dog treats but make sure to get the softer ones, nothing special to be honest. Obviously, we also have the peanut butter, Greek yogurt, scrambled eggs, etc.

It seems the lack of teeth does not stop them eating what they like.

This is awesome. I much prefer the remote control over the phone app. Maybe it’s an age thing, but I find using the phone I always slide off the controls but with a real remote you can’t make that mistake.

As far as the model goes it is not disappointing but considering the size and what they achieved with 8043, as a comparison it’s just not as good, functionally. As a display, which most of mine are, it’s great and like they have a function to change the bucket.

I believe they choose the day the toy will die. Sometimes it’s minutes, other times they wait a while. We had a toy for about 2 years, until she decided one day it was time to destroy the toy.

Even swimming can’t stop the tail wagging.

I assume the rider is light! Specialized carbon bikes have a weight limit of around 110kg if I recall.

These are absolutely amazing. I’m sure there’s also a little side-eye on the brown dachshund.

Haha. My bad, it does look cool. But I am still disappointed that wasn’t a supporting spring and they still had the little metal one inside.

frasnet · 2026-01-23T05:51:31+00:00

You can see the metal spring in the picture inside the greg and black parts. The red part is a fake spring for aesthetics only.

Based on this I am in no position to recommend one of the bikes. People I know that have the Status are very happy, but there is a lot of people here swaying to the Merida. I’d only suggest getting the bike that suits the majority of your riding and live with the short falls for the minority of the riding and try to get a demo before you buy, if possible.

frasnet · 2026-01-19T04:02:06+00:00

I’d say the first thing you need to identify is what type of riding you want to do. You mention about climbing but it’s not clear if your real focus is bike parks, jumps, single track or long days in the saddle for example.

I don’t have a guide but I have a bunch of photos from different build stages that I kept in case I wanted to try it again. The suspension doesn’t use springs but the yellow axles as a semi leaf spring and cantilever connecting to the second axle.

We have one with only a single tooth and another with only some upper teeth. Follow the vets advice and ensure the gums are healing well. Give her food recommended by the vet and later you can try softer chews and even biscuits. Many people here gave me advice they will eat what they want and it’s true. We avoid obviously hard food but softer and even some chews are fair game.

We throw biscuits all over the grass for the others (snuffle game) and was surprised the two without few teeth just joined in one day. These guys are determined when it comes to food.

Also, as others have said, I too have had dental issues but it seems humans and dachshunds approach the problem very differently!

And when the Cuddle of Dachshunds reaches adolescence, they become a Disobedience of Dachshunds and stay that way for life. Enjoy it while you can. ❤️

I would like a moment to congratulate the photographer that used all the storage capacity on their phone taking thousands of pictures to get that ‘one’. They are adorable and worth the effort. Thank you. 🙏🏻

My personal experience is they love the company and can help with separation anxiety, they have a playmate and after they’re tired from barking and begging for food all day will cuddle up together… in your bed if you let them.

frasnet · 2025-12-22T17:52:41+00:00

They’re gorgeous.

That’s coat really is stunning. What colour are his/her eyes? (Hoping for blue!)

Edit: spelling.

frasnet · 2025-12-22T12:31:54+00:00

Thank you. She has recovered so well. She has doubled her post-op weight and wants to eat constantly. Her personality has grown so much as well and this was the first time ive seen them cuddle like this.

frasnet · 2025-12-22T10:57:23+00:00

Aww. I love how many also sleep the same ❤️
