 Are You Moxie for A Dachsie? October 9, 2009
D. Mikels (Skunk Holler)
This reviewer has owned countless dogs, from beagles to spaniels to pit bulls to weimaraners--not to mention several mongrels thrown in for good measure. Yet I've never owned a dachshund, and lately I've been intrigued by the possibility of having a little wiener dog running around the house. I didn't know all that much about the breed, and I wanted to know if its temperament and characteristics would be compatible in my household. So I turned to Eve Adamson's DACHSHUNDS FOR DUMMIES; what a gold mine of information!
Everything you need to know about dachshunds is in this book, and I mean everything. Dachshunds are a playful, often feisty, very intelligent breed; here I learned if I wasn't disciplined and consistent with my training and regimen, this adorable little dog would quickly be in charge! Yet here in this book so much more is covered, from choosing the right dachsie to diet to essentials to health issues (including detailed info on how to prevent the dachshund's proclivity for back injuries). Plus Adamson gives a rich texture of what I would call generic tips regarding house training, and training in general, of your dog. She also lists several websites readers can visit for more detailed info on a myriad of topics, from adoption to competition (for the true gung-ho types). Alas, I learned that, cute as they may be, a dachshund isn't right for me; yet I'm grateful to have become knowledgeable about the breed, thanks to DACHSHUNDS FOR DUMMIES.

Preparing for the arrival of the new Dachshund "Ida" in 8 weeks time, and "Dachshunds for Dummies" is giving us the knowledge and confidence we need for this big event.
It's going to be fun;-)

We have a dachshund, so the information in this book wasn't necessarily new to us, but it confirmed that our little guy is ALL dachshund! This book will give the reader a good idea what to expect in the way of behavior, training, and care of these funny, fun-loving dogs. If you are considering adding a dachshund to your family, I highly recommend this book. Then---get a dachshund and enjoy!

As a veterinary technician, I can tell you with 100% backup from my veterinarian that dogs should not be fed ANY type of human food. Dogs should be fed a high quality DOG food and nothing else. A healthy DOG treat here and there is okay, but absolutely no human food. Any book that claims otherwise is obviously ill educated on the subject. I have seen the deadly effects of feeding dogs table scraps. I just wanted to voice that FACT so people will know that it is NOT good for their beloved pets.
Before you buy/adopt, read this book! March 9, 2009

I adopted my first Dachshund 1.5 years ago, and this book was such a great help in so many ways.
It taught even me (single guy), how to fully take care of my little pal from hygiene down to diet. It tells you the types of things I would have never known (dogs are allergic to onions?!), and the tone is laid back and a pleasure to read.
House breaking was a breeze using the advice here, as well as training in other aspects.
If you are about to adopt/buy your first Dachshund, I highly recommend picking up this book. It made my and my dog's life much better!
