Default Just when I thought I was out...they pull me back in!

I thought Dex would be the smallest dog I would ever own. He's about 45lbs. But, tomorrow I'm picking up a 2yr old Mini Daschund from a friend who can't look after him anymore (baby on the way!)

Anyone have experience with these dogs? Do tell!

awww I wanna him! I had a weinie once, Lars. He was the best dog I have ever had. He was my best buddy!!! They are prone to back problems when they get old, cause their back is so long.. poor dogs in the snow, they leave 4 paw prints and a ditch where their ummm drags

hahaha yeah, I can't wait. I'm pretty sure Dex will just walk over him. I've done some serious crash-course reading on the breed and am well aware of the back issues and the obesity issues as well. Dex is on a set feeding schedule so that shouldn't be a problem. Picking him up tomorrow....

You should have knit him a little "weenie warmer"; cuz that would be hilarious watching you put it on him every time he went outside.
Oh, and by the way, Oscar is very cute.

Apparently he'll come with a few sweaters....I swore I would never dress any dog I ever owned, but I bought Dexter a Flames Jersey (a reall doggie Jersey! It's got all the patches etc of a jersey that we would buy for ourselves)....I don't even have a Flames Jersey. Something is wrong with that picture...

My cat has a Canucks jersey but when I put it on him, he just freezes and won't move.

I don't have one but some family have a girl, Winnie. She's a hilarious little girl. Pretty clever too (for a dog anyhow )

My family has had many over the years.

Be careful when picking them up or letting them jump up on things. They ruin their backs. Careful too with them roughhousing with your other dog (s). Again, they can get back problems.

I mean they are no THAT delicate but I guess since their spine is so long, you do have to keep their backs in mind.

Hes very cute
