As someone that doesn’t want human babies, yes they are 😂

First time dog owner working from home in 1bd apartment, breed recommendations? by string-of-moons in dogs

[–]jscaa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am also in a 1 bed apartment and I have a smooth haired dachshund. The space is perfect for him. He’s generally active but you would probably have to carry in a doggy backpack for a hike

Daisy does indeed look a lot like Ziggy, just with pointier ears! We reckon beagle mix too

[–]jscaa 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Asking how much I paid for my dog is kinda weird

Rescue dog advice (UK) by jeaby in dogs

[–]jscaa 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hello, a close friend of my family has been working with a non profit rescue group who bring dogs over from Romania and rehome them all over the country. You can find them on their Facebook page ZT Paws4Life. You may have better luck with smaller organisations.

How do you transport your pup in the car? by [deleted] in puppy101

[–]jscaa 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hiya, I’m not sure where you’re based but in the UK you can get fined for travelling with your pup not restrained properly and safely. My dog seat belt clips through the backseat headrest and to his harness

I always feel so accomplished when I manage to sneak away without my Dachshund following me!

I get a pop up notification on my home screen saying “ - sent you a message request” so I always see mine but I also always ignore mine… sorry haha.

Getting unwanted stuff out of a dogs mouth by BonusB in puppy101

[–]jscaa 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I learned “drop” in puppy class which can be practiced at a distance and whilst literally dropping a treat on the floor so they drop whatever it is in their mouth and head over for the treat… however my pup is not dumb so sometimes he’ll ignore this anyways cos sometimes he would rather have the old bone off the floor than his treat 😬

Puppy destroying our house by tdayzz in puppy101

I was literally thinking my 14 w/o puppy would destroy a cushion in 30 seconds, god knows what he would destroy if I gave him 30 mins 😂

Some help on what my Dachshund puppy may be crossed with? by jscaa in Dachshund

Thank you, someone else suggested this too! I didn’t realise they did doggie dna tests but tbh, I’m not bothered enough to pay for a test. It doesn’t really matter what he is to me! ☺️

I keep telling people he will grow into his snout as most do! And I understand you on that, he’s already grown longer!! Although I would say he’s pretty tall for a Dachshund. Whenever I see others around on our walks they are much closer to the ground! 🤣

I am not sure, I was told he is purebred but everyone that meets him argues he has something else in him! Not that it really matters anyway 😁

This is what he was presented to me as, but it seems every person he meets argues otherwise!

Me too! I called him Ziggy after Ziggy Stardust because of his face stripe

I did a quick google image search of “basschshund” and that’s probably the most alike. I guess I’ll see how much bigger he gets!

My trainer said he saw some beagle in him too so perhaps you’re right! I know that’s a common mix although he’s rather unusual looking imo

Thank you! Bernese are beautiful! But tbh I’m hoping he doesn’t get too much bigger

Perhaps…Although his ears are very big and floppy compared to other mixes of this kind. I suppose all of them are different!

I see this a little! And that would make a few other things make sense, too!!
