Do dachshunds lose baby teeth?
yes, puppies can, and will, usually when they are around a year of age. Puppies will chew on things to loose their teeth, and it is important for the development of their gums. Keep wires and valuables out of reach, and provide SAFE chew toys. Most importantly, never scold a puppy when they have chewed something up, unless it's caught in the act... they will not remember what they did wrong. If a puppy is chewing on the chew toys you provided, as opposed to the furniture, praise them. :)
