You are going to be such great parents....getting all this information so early. Picking out a crate is important. Get one with a divider that can be moved back as Pepperoni grows. This will save you big $$$. At first, while training, keep his access area in the crate small. It should be big enough for him to turn around in an stretch out, but not roam. If it is too big he will sleep in one part and pee in the back corner, which defeats the purpose of crate training, and is a difficult habit to break. Oh, and don't forget the hanging water bottle! All dachshunds need constant access to water! We can’t wait to see him either. You are going to be such great parents….getting all this information so early. Picking out a crate is important.
