What Instagram Doesn’t Tell You

Are you thinking about bringing a mini dachshund into your home? I’m here to tell you what it’s really like – from the joys and challenges to the things I wish I’d known before picking up my pup.

As a first-time dog owner, I was naive about the realities of dog parenthood, and specifically about what it takes to raise one of these adorable, independent little sausage dogs. Even after researching online and reading all the books I could find, I was unprepared . . . and probably a bit too confident. If you’re on the same journey to possible mini dachshund parenthood, or if you’re already in the thick of puppyhood or adolescence in your home, let me share my practical, honest and reassuring insight to help you through.
