I got a supposedly 6 year old male long-haired dachshund from the shelter. A darling and beautiful dog. I had to have teeth cleaning and a couple of teeth pulled right after getting him. I cannot pick him up as you would any other dog,he cries out...Is this normal because of this long body or is something else wrong?. He weighed 18 lbs. when I got him and he has gained a few more since. It bothers me that I cannot put my arms around his body to pick him up. He is also very needy and jealous of my other dog who is 6yrs old and a long haired chuhuahua. any suggestions on picking him up and controlling his jealousy?
