I am in the Hills Pup I am interested in socialising is not quite 6 weeks old yet. Although he has lots of fun eating/beating up my 20 week old Kelpie and the 3 older girls Cute i can just imagine a little puppy beating up a kelpie......

Hi Mirawee, I have a 16 week old Dachshund puppy that would like to socialise with other puppies if you are interested in meeting up every once in a while?? PM me if you are interested I live in the eastern suburbs but will travel

Thanks Luke W, i am very happy with our new arrangements

Hi Guys, I showed my partner this thread and we have had a bit of a break through We had the chat we should have really had before Duke came along , and he seems to see things a bit different now, i told him that me living with him is a major thing and its not just for accomadation, it is in the hope that further progression will follow, i also mentioned that in a relationship we are meant to help eachother out, so he DID pay for half microchipping and Duke is now in both our names, He has been walking with me and Duke in the afternoons and he has started helping me with the cleaning and feeding, all major Duke expenses like vet he has agreed that we will go halves and that Duke is now OUR dog... which i am happy about, i guess the problem was I didnt put my expectations on the table before we got him, and now that we have talked about it properly we have come to good agreements, i am allowed to cuddle our dog on the couch now, but he is not allowed in the bedroom as that is the cats santuary... which is very fair i think Also i have agreed that i will bear the food expense which really isnt that much a month, i guess when i started this thread i was feeling a bit agro and PMTish Thanks for all the comments, it really is funny to see how many people do things differently in relationships ;) Oh and another thing I think that effected the reasons we couldnt agree was because he never grew up with Dogs, I guess I am now glad that he see's how important this issue and our Dog is to me....

I will do

Hi Guys, Alot of what everyone is saying does ring true, he is very immature, selfish, lazy and controlling...... I think this issue has underlying relationship issues, i think i might just trade him in for another Dachie The amount of times these kind of issues have had me with my bags packed, but silly me, im a sucker for puppy dog eyes........I do feel like his mother and flat mate not a partner and maybe i need to do something about this, i have a big problem with saying no to people but maybe i need to get out for my sanity , thanks for your comments, they have def helped my confusion and frustration :cool: And yeah its my house too, we pay equal parts so i guess i can have the dog on the couch with me, he isnt allergic so there shouldnt be any problems....... I can train him the way i want and do what i want with him, maybe i should suck it up and pay for everything myself and do everything myself because in all reality I dont think this relationship will last but was prob trying to fool myself as we have been together for a very long time, only living together for 3 years......

Hey i just had a thought, maybe i can trade my partner in for another Dachshund....... Thats would fix my problem...lol.....

Hahahaha yeah my OH is lazy...lol.... I wish he worked away, i guess if he wasnt living with me i wouldnt resent him so much, or at least get married to him then i can spend his cash....hehehe...... well i think in the future I will have to get what I actually want whether he wants it or not...lol... Another one hey?? Sweet when is that happening??

I guess another reason why i feel a bit bitter is because the puppy has to live by his rules and not mine, he is very picky about everything,no dog in the bedroom, dont cuddle the dog on the couch,etc... i mean i couldnt even get the kind of dog i wanted, i originally wanted a older dachshund as i work full time and thought i did not have the time for a puppy, but i wasnt allowed to have one unless it fit all his guidlines and part of those were to get a puppy and train it from the start....and i did bend and fit his guidlines because i wanted this so so so badly and i just thought since i couldnt get exactly what i wanted as i am in a partnership and need to make my OH happy aswell i thought it would go both ways, we get what he wants and he helps out.... I guess not... Stupid me....

Hahaha sounds like i am being silly No we dont have shared accounts....Maybe i am expecting to much...... I have discussed it with him alot and he say yes he will contribute but then when i ask him for money to go towards vet bills or food he has a sad and wont give me any because he has "some bills this week" dont we all have bills??? maybe I should revoke his puppy privlages...lol... and i do help him out finacially so maybe i am resenting him for not helping me..... Maybe this has more to do with relationship issues and me expecting too much....hhhmmm Thanks for the insight....

Hi Guys, Not too sure where i should have posted this but puppy section sounds good as Duke is a Puppy.... Okay...After 2 years of pesueding and nagging my partner and finally moving to a house with a backyard i brought a Dachshund puppy named Duke, my problem is my partner, he doesnt contribute anything to the expenses for Duke, he didnt help me pay for Duke, hasnt spent one cent on food, toys, microchipping, obedience, bedding, not anything...Now we have been living together for 3 years, wouldnt you think that even though i wanted Duke and he didnt care either way, now that we have Duke my partner absolutly loves him but is not helping much with the cleaning or contributing to the expenses at all, i am quite annoyed as i know he loves Duke alot and would be devestated if we had to get rid of him (which will never happen as i would rather lose my home than my dog) but he isnt helping at all, i know that i wanted the dog, but he is my partner and we have lived together for a while wouldnt you think that it would be fair that he contribute??? Am i being silly about expecting that he should chip in to look after him??? I mean if we had a baby togther would he expect me to cover all the expenses, I see this as part of our "family" we already have a cat, which he also doesnt contribute to (although the cat doesnt cost much at all) I am just wondering i guess if people think this is fair, I mean he gets all the benefits of of dog ownership but doesnt contribute at all

My new baby is Duke He is 12 weeks old and i pick him up on Sat, i cant wait He is a Standard Smooth Dachshund.
