We are not Veterinarians or trained medical personnel: We are loving Dachshund guardians with a variety of experiences and knowledge to share. If your dog is any pain, discomfort, bleeding, has ingested something toxic (or potentially toxic), is vomiting or has severe diarrhea, SEEK IMMEDIATE MEDICAL ATTENTION. Please post what has happened with your dog and what the vet said, so that we can further our knowledge, but never wait and see when the health of your companion is in question.

By registering as a member of Doxie Lovers Club you hereby agree to abide by the following terms. Violation of these may result in corrective action depending on the circumstances.

Spamming is not allowed under any circumstances: Links to other sites that are relevant to the discussion are acceptable, and I hope it goes without saying advertising of puppies or stud/mating services is strictly prohibited. If you are here to promote advocasy or further a cause especialy by posting nothing but links to other sites, we consider this spamming, and your account will be terminated.

No Content: which is profane, abusive, obscene, knowingly false and/or defamatory, inaccurate, harassing, religiously offensive, threatening, or seen as an invasion of a person's privacy, or otherwise in violation of any law is allowed. If you see such content, please advise a moderator or the administrator immediately. Any pictures posted that showing an animal being hurt or put in a dangerous or compromising position will result in immediate banning. The only exception will be if it is attached as a news article from a credible source.

Flaming will not be tolerated: Period, end of discussion. Any member who is abusive of another member will be banned from the DLC. Everyone feeds differently, trains differently etc. You can definitely express your opinion on any subject, but offering an opinion and being mean and nasty are totally different. We firmly believe in answering others and you wish to be answered. There are no dumb questions ? and there will be no hostile answers on the DLC.
