OK. We got a purbreed dachsund today. 7 weeks old (born on fathers day) Male, dapple shorthair.
I'm looking for advice on training, shots, vet visits. We don't want to breed and will get him fixed when it's time.
Please, any ideas or advice is appreciated.

The first thing you need to teach Bruce is his name. The second thing you need to teach Bruce is to go 'potty' outside, not indoors. The third thing you need to do (when he's older than 12 weeks) is enroll him in a good 'dog training class' with you, so you 'both' will get good training. Call your city's parks department, or ask other people who own dogs (look for the 'very well behaved' dogs, of course).
Oh ... and give Bruce a kiss on the top of his head from me, too, please ... also one from you, of course.
As for his 'shots' you should get the 'soonest available appointment' with a good vet, and have him tell you what shots Bruce will need and when he'll have to have them ... and get him his first 'exam' too ... that way when it's time to have Bruce 'fixed' the vet will 'know him' and will be gentle with him ... Bruce is 'small' but doxies have 'the biggest hearts' and be prepared to 'fall totally in love' with your new little fellow.
lol you are suppose to let the puppy stay with its mother till atleast 8 weeks... Your pup should have his first shots and dewormed... Then when hes like 12 weeks he gets his second shot called a booster... Basicially shots are for to protect him from bacteria all those crap for immune system. Get him neutered is a good idea.
Well make sure you feed them lots of hard food cause it cleans their teeth and also its good if while you feed him you teach him tricks and stuff.
u can look it all up on google.com
search the web for tips and all that good stuff lol but allways be paritent.loveing and caring ALLWAYS and have fun with your new puppy but i've been told that u never spank or hit the dog cause thats not what learning is about and you'll just forn a bad relationship between u 2...just be patient and good to the dog and allways make sure u have time to spend with it...like training and just hanging out...don't worry.I'm sure that dog will become your best friend! I know what its like!
crate potty training is a good idea if you have any questions obout it im here to help
For shots, pls get advice from your vet to learn more about it. They will let you know when is best to do it. Call up the nurse to check first before heading to the vet.
As for training, go for basic obediance training first. Talk to dog owners at your area to get recommendatinon on good trainers.
As for cat litter training your dog. it's unheard of at the moment, but you can try. You can train your dog to poop / pee anywhere but if they are so stubborn they do not like the cat litter, juz use the papers.
