Toby left yesterday to begin his life with his amazing new family, and I wasn't able to post anything about it until now.
The owners had seen we had puppies and contacted us to arrange to come and see them. What we didn't know was that it was this lovely fella's partner who had seen the puppies and really wanted Toby. He explained that she had wanted a long haired miniature Dachshund for several years and it wasn't the right time until now. He visited yesterday without her knowing and explained that he was going to surprise his partner ahead of her birthday next month.
I often get asked whether I'm sad when the puppies leave, and I am genuinely not.
With the owner's permission, I'm sharing the video that was sent to me of this beautiful moment.
This really touched me and I feel very fortunate to have been part of making this lady's dream come true ❤️❤️❤️

Throwback Thursday!
Sometimes our babies arrive a little earlier than expected and the milk supply isn't quite there so they need a little bit of help.
This is one of our pups from a previous litter.

Probably the most important thing in relation to training your dog or understanding their behaviour ~ Know the breed...
Yes, Dachshunds are cute, little dogs with huge personalities and bundles of love to give but there is so much more.
Dachshunds were bred to be hunting dogs, the minis specifically, were bred to ground after rabbits where they would scent, chase and flush them out.
Every breed has specific breed traits which is the result of selective breeding over many years. These traits are genetic and internally motivated behaviours.
There's been many occasions over the years where I've seen people struggling with their off lead dog virtually chasing everything in sight. Perhaps not understanding that as a breed they need to do this. Or their dog is destroying one of their brand new toys by de squeaking it and pulling all the stuffing out, again, perhaps not understanding this is what they would do to the animal they are hunting.
Now I'm not suggesting you should allow your dog to keep chasing things or kill animals but what you can do is replicate the job they were bred to do, for example, playing with them with tug/chase toys on walks as a reward for recalling to you.
Here is a video of one of our dogs doing her most favourite thing in the world. We buy cheap toys for a couple of pounds, and give them to her so she can do her thing which is pretty fascinating to watch.

Let's talk about Rawhide!
Rawhide is a by-product of the Leather industry and is not natural or edible. When the skin is turned into shoes or handbags it is the valuable outer layer which is used and it’s the inner waste layers that get made into chews, glue and soap (glue and soap are not food products). Then to make these more appealing to dogs some Rawhide contain beef, chicken, or liver flavourings.
Why Rawhide:
All dogs need to chew because chewing is instinctual for the dogs, it provides mental stimulation, it helps to reduce stress, and it helps to keep teeth clean.
Risks:
Rawhide is not a food product and therefore it is not possible for your dog to digest it and due to how that it is made it can contain toxic chemicals. Some dogs can be allergic to Rawhide or the substances used in it’s manufacture which can cause an upset tummy. More seriously Rawhide can also cause choking or blockages particularly if your dog manages to swallow large pieces which can then become lodged in the oesophagus and other parts of the digestive tract. A vet may be able to remove the pieces easily depending on where they are located however it could result in abdominal surgery if the pieces get lodged in the stomach or intestines.
How you can help to protect your dog:
Please don’t buy Rawhide and risk your dog’s health. It may be that you have given Rawhide in the past and this has not caused any issues with your dog, but the truth is it can and does happen. Is it worth the risk?
There are long-lasting natural and safer alternatives such as:
* Split Antlers.
* Pizzles.
* Olive Branches.
* Hairy Deers Legs (as seen here being enjoyed by one of our dogs).
Let’s end the Rawhide trade for good and provide our dogs with healthy alternatives.

Our dogs love their duck's necks, no additives and completely natural.
The act of chewing has a calming and comforting effect on the adrenal-pituitary axis in the brain. It triggers the release of endorphins, which assists with calming and relaxation. As well as the behaviour benefits, chewing appropriate chews can help clean a dog’s teeth, remove plaque or aid a puppy through the difficult teething period. Adolescent dogs are also still teething and chewing often occurs at this time.
Anything you give your dog must be age appropriate. Please supervise them whilst they are eating it especially if it's their first time, and ensure they have access to fresh, clean drinking water. If feeding multiple dogs it's best to do so separately, or with sufficient space between each dog and monitor carefully to avoid any competition.
What's your dog's favourite treat?
