I am the owner of 2 dachshunds Jack and Jill . My female is just thirteen pounds,my male is 24lbs. . I was very lucky in that I got the doxie dogs only a year apart, unfortunately however the owners of these 2 fantastic dogs expired within a year of each other. It would have been my last thought in the whole world to start fostering doxies.What is amazing is that I have had 5 different litters.Doxie puppies are without a shadow of doubt the coolest dogs ever. . I was out at work when Jill resolve it was time for her first litter. It took me by surprise when she had them as I had no idea how pregnant she really was when we bought her . When we got home we discovered more pups behind the toilet and one wasnt breathing at all. I am not sure what happened but when we returned one of the pups was hidden behind the toilet and wasnt breathing

Jill was shaking with the condition of her dachshund puppies and was truly disturbed . I had to lay her down and put the dog on her to suckle . Fortunately about an hour or so later Jill took to the new little chap so we were all delighted. . We were fairly sure that there were no more puppies hidden from the rest of the litter.

Two hours later it was bed time and we moved upstairs. We took Jill and her baby dachsund up with us so we could keep an eye on them. . After getting her settled in a box my husband went to shut the light off. . As he was hitting the switch he heard a puppy wailing .

He slowly glanced behind the door as he didnt want to frighten anyone. . What he discovered was another puppy lying in the bed with my other dog Jade. Jade was licking it all over making sure that it was alright. My other dog is an 80 lb half pit bull half boxer female named Jade.

Jade has never had a dachshund before . What is really odd is that she does have milk when Jill has baby doxies. Jill is only too happy to allow Jade feed her new litter when they arrive into the world. They are always with her without waver. Jill dosn't seem to mind. Jade is very protective of the pups but she acts like Skippy and Jack are her pups too . They all sleep in one big bed together Jade Jill and Skippy and they are exalted to bits with themselves .

I have never seen so many dog sitters for a miniature dachshund. They regularly jump onto Jade who seems exalted with all the attention she gets. Jade waggles her big old tail and snuggles them with her mouth, they love the attention. It's funny seeing her leap at them and they jump right back .I dont understand how she does it but none of the pups have ever been injured.
