My family had a dachshund for 10 years-he was very healthy, and just absolutely lovely in every way. Then one day he slipped a disc in his spine and we had him put down a week later, and even though that was 4 years ago I to this day am so damn angry that people bred dachshunds to have those stupid spines. He wasn’t allowed to walk up or down stairs, we barely ever picked him up, and yet his spine just suddenly one day went, and it was so unfair for me to lose my childhood pet that way honestly
I totally understand, and I am so sorry to hear about a loss of such a beloved animal. Dachshunds, Frenchies, pugs--all are being bred in this absolutely terrible ways that compromise their health and welfare.
