Hello! I am new to the site, and somewhat new at being a mom to Harper! I am looking forward to learning from all of you!
Harper is 4 months old, a miniature dachshund. He is my first puppy as an adult, although we had lots of family dogs when I was growing up! I am trying to learn all I can about the breed so I can be the best mommy ever! I

Welcome to the group! I have learned a lot from these folks and I am sure you will too!

It's a pleasure to have you join us !
We're all learning everyday, it's never ending. Sharing experiences is part of what we're all here for.

Did you have dachshunds growing up, or is Harper your first puppy as an adult and first dachshund?
They are addicting, consider yourself warned

Sure hope to see little Harper.

Hey, that's the first Harper I've heard of! Nice name!
Looking forward to some pics and hearing what kind of mischief he's getting into.

Welcome to the Haven congrats on being a new dachshund mommy

Thanks everyone! I will try to upload pics soon! He's adorable, of course. He is my first dachshund! I know he's a smooth short haired guy. (I think that's the correct way to say it! And I am a bit overhwhelmed with all the different coloring terms!!!!! I must sound like a total newbie to you all. My boyfriend thinks he's a sable. He looks like a red, but his little hairs have black tips.....I'll work on those pics!

Welcome!! I can't wait to see pics of your new baby Don't worry about sounding like a newbie - we all learn from each other and support each other here.....Noone can possibly know everything I am a newbie too - Got my first doxy 16 years ago, helped with breeding doxy's for 4 years and started breeding myself just last year

You'll find lots of information, knowledgeable people that has been there/done that, unlimited support and honest advice - Glad to have ya!!

Sables come in longhaired, it is called wildboar in smooths and wires, each hair is banded with 2 or more colours/shades of colour as opposed to each hair being a different colour.

Welcome

Yes, Rhona, thanks! I did lots of reading on the coats and coloring threads the other day, so....I will make a NEW guess and say that I think he's a shaded red? I will post some pics soon and you can tell me if I might be correct!
