She got a cold once. We're pretty careful about her back. She's still kinda young-ish (4.5 yrs old).
Kibble + slingshot = her nose works great!
Just doing what I can to stay on this side of the dirt.
Keep them lean and they will be fine.
They will eat themselves to death if you let them.
Putting on the weight is usually what causes all the problems.
Oh... And gotta be careful with their little mis-shapen front legs, prone to fractures. Don't want to let them jump on to slippery surfaces like a linoleum floor.

^^^^^ This. Our two got a little large back when. I will just say that you HAVE to work at it or you will have a broke one. We almost lost one of them due to this. had an issue and walked into the vet and was paralyzed after. 3 months of working with him got him back but not without issues.
The sad but almost funny thing is when someone makes a mistake and forgets something. You come home and there is a Football in front of you. They will eat until they almost blow up.
I see you running, tell me what your running from
Nobody's coming, what ya do that was so wrong.
She's adorable.
I'm not fat, I'm tactically padded.

I taped my phone to a box then threw a treat over the box. It's a bankers box sized thing, and she cleared it no problems. She weighs in at just over 10lbs. And she's very food motivated.
Unlike a lot of Dachshunds, she's not snappy, bitey, or yappy. She doesn't howl, even though I've tried to get her to.
