So you got a Dachshund. Now what?

Somewhere between the stubbornness, the surprising loudness, and the 2 a.m. "is this normal?" panic, you could use a friend who's done this before. This is that friend in book form.

This warm, honest, hand-illustrated guide walks you through your Dachshund puppy's first year. No jargon, no judgment, just the stuff experienced owners wish they'd known on day one.

Inside you'll find:

• What to feed them (and what never to)
• Surviving potty training, teething, and the chaos of week one
• How to protect that famous long back - the one thing every Doxie owner must know
• Training a very smart, very stubborn little dog
• When it's worth calling the vet and the emergency signs to watch for
• A quick-reference section for the moments you don't have time to read

Read it cover to cover, or flip straight to whatever's on fire today.

Because loving a Doxie is easy. The first year just takes a little help.

Part of the Sally Wren Dachshund Collection - one to guide, one to keep, one to adore.

Sally Wren paints three books for every breed she loves: an illustrated guide for the early days, a fill-in journal to hold your first-year memories, and a love letter to the breed itself. Every page is hand-painted and hand-lettered - made to be kept, not scrolled past. Search "Sally Wren Dachshund" to find all three, with the same trio available for other breeds.
