What a gorgeous long-haired dachshund! And he is so well-trained and patient. Your video has helped me learn to groom my long-haired dachshund the right way.
Hi, I am looking for a responsible breeder for a smooth coated red dachshund and was wondering if you had any suggestions of a breeder, I live in NC? Would really love a longhaired but with arthritis in my hands I don't know if I would be able to keep up with the daily grooming. Thank you.
I am thoroughly enjoying your videos..I am about to become an owner of a mini long coat and your information is very informative for me. Thank you for providing this education.
My goodness, what a cute fluffy puppy! Her demeanor is wonderful. 2 yr old video when I came X it, I'm sure Athena became a wonderful dog and you have no coyote problems with her on duty. I was extremely lucky to find a 2yo Maremma sheepdog that needed a new home badly. Her family had been trying to rehome her for exactly 1 year when I came X the post on a FACEBOOK group here in Spokane WA. She was a Covid puppy and they did not get to socialize her, so she is extremely unfriendly to people she does not know. Nobody wanted her . She bit me a few times with a muzzle on the first day I went to see her. Just a pinch was all she could get of me. I could see she loved her family and I commend them for hanging on to her until a proper home could be found. She would have been put down had they turned her into the Animal Control. She would not of handled the kennel situation at all. Her owner put her into a big kennel I built for her. I was not sure she would adjust and she was a big fierce dog. She could easily have wrecked havoc on me. A lonely night in the kennel , the next morning, my man had flown in later in the day. He went out to try to make friends. She wasn't having it! So he prepared a do or die "let's get acquainted " kit. I had left to work at 4am. He opened the gate, she came with teeth and claws , hard at him. He met her with a riding boot mid air, knocked her down, threw her blanket over her, got a 30 ft horse training snapped on and a loop around her neck. By the time I got home at 1pm he had her "broke to ride " as it were. She raised hell at me, he said "Lacie NO!" She left off me and ran back to him , looked up with eyes that said "yes Master" . She has been our dog ever since. Her job is to guard the place, and she is very effective. If you are not family, you don't want to come in my yard. She has the run of the place, an acre. Dog door to the house. Horses out back and 3 cats. One is now her best friend, the other 2 are not the "dog whisperer " that Gizmo is, but Lacie is not actively trying to kill them anymore either. I had never heard of this breed, and I'm a dog nut. I feel very fortunate to have spotted her picture. Lucky for her too. Her family had to move into an apartment and she could not go there. I'm very impressed with this breed. Very.
I've been doing my research as well and have decided this is the breed I want for my small homestead. Athena is beautiful and I'm sure you made the right decision.
My breeder recommended stripping my male's coat because it is overgrown and getting curly/wavy. How should I strip his coat? I've watched some videos but they are all for sure costed dogs. I don't want to damage his coat. Thanks
Depending on the type of coat, the technique varies. Just remember, the hair will always grow back and the only way to get better at getting the "look" you want is to practice! With an "overgrown" coat, I would start with a grooming rake and slicker brush to remove the under coat. The soft fluffy stuff. You want to try and avoid breaking the top coat, but it will happen as you learn and that is ok. As I said, it will grow back. You don't have to do it all at once. Start on one side and work your way through the entire dog over the course of a few days. Do as much a day as you and your male are comfortable with. Hope this helps!
Thank-you so much for this video! I have two longhaired doxies, and this video convinced me to get a good pair of thinning shears and clean up the hair that grows between the ears and neck ridge that has always been a matting problem.
Congratulations! Athena is beautiful. An Italian tells you that he was moved when the puppy was entrusted to you and you introduced her into your home. We lived the same day just over a year ago when Igor arrived in our house (from the house cats his arrival was not at all welcome, in fact he was chased and scratched and gave a yelp of pain). Now, despite the almost 50 kg of weight, he stays close to my feet while I'm at the computer. It is a dog that will win you over and take your heart away. I wish you much happiness together.
Nothing against the grooming / showing world , and this dog looks brilliant , but he looked better in the before photo IMO! The world of dog grooming goes for the look of a woman who spent wayyyyy too much time blow drying and straightening....my 6 month old looks better than this at the moment and hopefully when coat gets more length I can retain the more natural contour shape with the kinks in the right places . I'm new to this world but it's just interesting to me when I honestly believe after hours of work, a lot of these dogs legitimately looked better before...
enjoy your videos, had a question I have a mini dachshund puppy that is 5 1/2 weeks old and she weighs 2.6 pounds. Is that a good weight and an indicator that she will be a miniature (11 pounds or under) as an adult - or is it too early to tell. Parents are around 10-12 pounds. - -tks!
this dogs they are the best in the world , they do there job any time , they made Italy, this dogs the MAREMMANO white sheep dog they are from ABRUZZO region center Italy, the MAREMMANO exist before the Rome Empire, they have prove, and i have one on my own , yes this dog the White MARAMMANO Abruzzo sheep dog they are the pride of Italy, people come from a round the world to Abruzzo Italy, to get at list one puppy .
