I know that you feed them 3 times a day(I am sticking to the food,the lady had been feeding her on)Puppy mix,that you boil till soft,and pedegree standard puppy cans.I only put a small amount in her bowl,she has about 3-4 mouthfulls,then thats it.She sleeps alot during the day too.I have had puppies before,but not this breed.I would like any info on them(including the above question)would be very much appreciated.Thank you.

Pup is too young.
A mini dachs pup doesn't NEED much feed.
An adult needs LESS than a cup a day-only1/2 -3/4
DON'T MAKE A BLIMP! their backs can't take it!!

She can eat dry dog food. Breeders always act like they use the "baby food" idea so it looks like they care a lot when they only want your money. Now that you bought her (and obviously spent money on her!!!) take her to the vet so you can start getting her the 4 distemper vaccines that she needs. Otherwise, she will get parvo and you will post a notice saying "my dog is vomiting, has bloody stool and won't eat. What should I do???" I have NO sympathy when people spend money to BUY a dog but then don't have the money to take them to get the vaccines!!!!
FYI- Don't call the Vet if the puppy loses "a few ounces" like that person said!!! IDIOT! A few "ounces" is one big poop!! Get real!

puppies are just like babies,...they sleep a lot and like to snack all day long.what they eat during one meal might not seem to be a lot but add it all up and its really more. but think. the belly of a 7 week old puppy is very small so its not going to take much to fill it up.maybe its to interested in everything els going on ...try feeding it in a room with noone els around to interupt feeding time :)

as long as shes eating and gaining weight, by a small scale, even a food scale to weigh her daily, if she losing any weight even a few ounces call your vet, shell sleep ever couple of hours as long as she isnt lethargic, i wouldnt worry to much

i have a dauschund hound and really canned dog food is not that good for them. dry dog food is much much better for the dogs and their body and their coat.
