New Puppy

[sun&fun]

Kona is a kutie! I'm sure the boys will be BFFs in no time. One is fun, two are a joy.

Opened your picture and said this out loud, "Oh Gah! STOP! You. Are. Killing. Me! with cuteness of course

I've got two smooths (wash and wear, I call them...less grooming) but your LH's are just gorgeous. And if they have the temperament to match, you are one lucky guy!

Congrats...I knew when you started your search you would revert back to dachshunds. I just knew it. Once bitten...there is no way out.

LOL! Glad you liked the picture. I'll post more pictures of Kona, and hopefully one of the two dogs together, as soon as I can get a decent shot.

Thank you! This morning so far has gone well. Trying to get them to interact more. Kona is pushing the envelope because he wants to play. Cody is still a bit unsure of things, but he's better today. Meal time was a bit of a challenge - two different foods, who eats what, can the puppy finish before Cody tries to eat all his food - you know, the usual sibling kind of thing. It'll sort itself out soon enough.

Radar!! I love the dog life jacket. It's like they have a handle.

Dave the dogs are adorable. I have a Yorkie. My breeder not only crate trains them but also litter box trains them, so no walking in our harsh winters!!

Thanks! I've heard about litter box training, but never tried it. My sister in law breeds/raises Jack Russell Terriers (Parson Russells, actually.) She says people use a litter pan with wood stove pellets, instead of cat litter. She says it works for them.

Congrats to the proud 'Dad'! They're both adorable.

Cody and Kona have been together two weeks now. They've sorted out their curiosities, and have each decided the other is pretty cool. They're starting to do everything together now. I'm really happy, and I think they are too.

I took this picture this afternoon. Kona was 10 weeks old yesterday. Cody will be 21 months old next week. They're going to be a great team.

They are so cute. Thanks for sharing a photo of the two of them together.

OMG. Cutie pies.

 

[DaveNV]

Thanks, Von and Emmy! They really are great to have around.

I offered a rawhide chew stick, and got some serious attention from them.

My favorite picture of all, so far. Cody and Kona are full brothers (same parents, different litters.) They're starting to act a lot alike, and Kona is learning from Cody how to be a great family member.

OMG. Cutie pies.

Thanks! Kona went to the Vet today for his second puppy shot, and a well-puppy check. All his parts are in the right places, strong heartbeat, both testicles in the right place (unlike Cody had), no worms, fleas, or other critters, and he got a very good report from the Vet. I'm very happy to hear all that. Thumbs up!

I'm gone! The V neck markings! I'm just gone. Keep posting pics and updates!

For those of you who may be wondering...

Cody and Kona are doing great! Cody is 28 months old now, and his little brother Kona is 10 months old. Both are pretty well grown now, with Kona being just a little smaller than Cody. I expect they'll both be about the same size when Kona is done growing. Vet says they're perfectly healthy, and they are inseparable best buddies. This has worked out beautifully. I'm as happy as they are.

Here's a picture taken yesterday.

I am not familiar with this breed of dog is it a dauchund mixed wth another breed?

 

[heathpack]

Cuties!

 

[MuranoJo]

I love seeing these updated photos! How adorable, and they certainly look spoiled, what with being up on cushions or on the leather furniture. (We were guilty as well. Lost my German Shorthair this past July and I still miss her.)

These are purebred Longhaired Miniature Dachshunds. Dachshunds come in three coat types - the most thought of is the smooth coat classic "wiener dog" everyone knows. But the breed also comes in longhaired and wire-haired varieties.

You can think of a longhaired as looking kind of like an Irish Setter, with REALLY short legs. The wire-haired variety resembles a Schnauzer type dog, with the rough broken coat and classic bearded chin. They can be many different colors, virtually everything from white to solid black. My two are a black and cream, and a dapple black and cream. Dapple in Dachshunds is the same genetically as blue merle in other breeds. Coincidentally, my two are full brothers, born to the same parents, in litters eighteen months apart.

All three types are classic Dachshund underneath it all. As the old joke goes: They're half-a-dog high and a dog-and-a-half long.

Cuties!

Thanks! I hope you'd approve - both boys have a distinctive waistline.
