  • In this video you will see how a day goes looking after two dachshund puppies, 8 weeks old. Gracie and Sapphire are our new dapple dachshund puppies and although they are a bundle of fun, they are also hard work. Follow their day to see what's involved.

    We were only getting one puppy, Gracie but then fell in love with Sapphire, Saffy for short and couldn't let her go. Mum is a black and tan and Dad is a chocolate dapple. Gracie is a silver dapple and Saffy is a silver dapple with white. We are fully aware of double dapple issues but she was not bred from two dapples and is very healthy so far. We would not breed from her either. I will be doing twice weekly videos on their progress and training and any new and fun things they get up to. Thanks for watching!

    Just rescued a 5 year old silver dapple! His name is Chips and he is so adorable. He was a breeder dog with 2 different breeders then given up to a local dachshund adoption group. He was in 2 foster homes before I was able to adopt him forever. He looks very much like your Gracie. It’s been 5 weeks and he is now almost completely opened up and believing he is in his forever home. Such a sweetie and I love him so much. He is our 3rd. Penny, a wild boar red mini long-hair female from 6 weeks to 16 years, then Tazer, a wild boar short-hair male adopted from the same rescue at age 8 until 16, and now Chips. So going into year 25 of having a dachshund at my feet 24/7/365. I just love them all so very much.

    Even though they’ve not had their second vacs, can they go in the garden? I have an 8 week old and struggling with training pads

      Yes, the garden is fine so long as other dogs don't pass through x

    Do you recommend dackshund? I can't make up my mind, I like corgis too.

    • @gracieandsapphire
      @gracieandsapphire  Před rokem +1

      Dachshunds definitely need good training and a lot of time, if you plan to not be home all the time then they may be tricky. That saying, they are the most loving dogs ever and will protect you to the death xx

    i just got two little one my self, i see that you crate them together, have you seen any problems with them ? i've heard that they may only want to be with each other? but i feel like with this breed they are so social they will be okay. Let me know if anyone has an opinion

    • @gracieandsapphire
      @gracieandsapphire  Před rokem

      Hi, yes, I've been asked this quite a bit, our two have been excellent but I did walk them separately about 3 or 4 days a week when they were younger. Gracie was and still is a bit tricky. This guaranteed they were OK apart and yes, they are so desperate for your attention that they prefer sitting on our laps rather than together. If you catch it early I think they should be OK x

    I’ve heard the training pads are confusing. Does it not hinder potty training?

    • @gracieandsapphire
      @gracieandsapphire  Před 10 měsíci

      I definitely agree not to use them for too long but for us, with two puppies who slept through the night from day one (because they were together), it gave me reassurance they if they needed to go, they had somewhere. I stopped them after two or three weeks. If used for too long then yes, they can be very confusing x

    Thank you for showing me these puppies. Do they bark even with the radio or the TV ? Actually I am really thinking of getting a Dachshund puppy. The blue eyes are beautiful. I don't have a garden. Do you think it is a problem ?

    • @gracieandsapphire
      @gracieandsapphire  Před rokem

      The radio and TV are fine, if there was a lot of barking on the TV they probably would bark back but stop when asked to. They are quite stubborn to house train and as puppies I took them outside a lot. So definitely difficult in the beginning with no garden and especially if it rains but once they get it you would probably have to go out 4 or 5 times a day for them x

      No, they never have but we have to watch one of them for going on the rug near the door, we always put her out every two hours (every 45 mins when they were puppies) to make sure she's got the opportunity to go. She's absolutely fine at night though x

      Hi, I follow Lenny and six dachshunds, a really great channel, she's worked with rescue dogs as a foster mum. She says it's best not to use them, we did keep them for about two weeks and only overnight so hopefully you can remove them soon, maybe try a different brand or just put an old towel down instead.
