An Encounter with Wirehaired Dachshunds

So, I guess, the woman saw me take out the camera and decided to come over to the bus stop, but it also seems like the dogs had made up their minds to do the same. I don't think I've ever seen wirehaired dachshunds in the US, and probably only a couple times in Hungary. The woman went on the say they hunt (small) boars.

[@MalOuston]

Had one of these wirehaired critters. Intelligent highly mischievous but full of fun , but would never groom himself, other dachshunds would try to tidy up his scruffy appearance much to his annoyance haha.

[@grytlappar]

In Sweden you mostly see wirehaired dachshunds. I like that they look a bit rugged and 'tough'!

[@buythemun]

A little tougher than all the miniature dachshunds running around here in the USA :)

[@shmeagol]

My sister has a wire haired dachshund and the only thing he hunts for is peanut butter.

[@KindCountsDeb3773]

First off, they are GORGEOUS ! And cute. Much bigger than dachshunds I've seen in the U.S. I have a miniature wire/smooth coat and she's small. Very clownish, too. Thanks for sharing such beauties !!

My wife and I are Americans and saw our first standard Wirehaired at the Prater Amusement Park in Vienna. This was 1995. We got back to the states and tracked a breeder down and got our "Fritz" For 17 years the sweetest dog we every had!!

[@buythemun]

They do seem to be rare here in the USA. Here's to Fritz!

[@milamou9352]

I have a wire haired dachshund named Bruno. He is 4 years old and has the most adorable temperament, his life is all about fun and he likes to think he's boss. His bark is incredibly loud and deep - a big dog with small legs. :-)

[@jackfleming5736]

I have a weenie dog named Fritz too lol

[@mrsportschampion5796]

The most dramatic and the funniest dog ever.

[@jankmedia1985]

I'd love to get a Wire Dachshund someday. My wife and I have two long-haired and they are such a fun breed of dog. Super intelligent, loyal, love the outdoors, good watchdogs. My best buds for sure.

[@baystgrp]

‘Dackel’ in Germany. Our wirehair is smart, loyal, a great watchdog, runs three times as fast as you think he can, and a real clown when he wants something. H.L. Mencken famously said the breed is ‘half a dog high and and a dog and a half long’ :)

[@geoffos42]

That's hilarious! 😄

[@teckelssdf3567]

half a dog high and a dog and a half long and twice the personality of a dog

[@GusBuster-ti4mc]

My Wirehair "Gus" just passed away couple days ago from brain cancer. He was only 6 years old . I miss that little dog so sweet and funny!

[@buythemun]

I'm sorry to hear that, my cat passed away at the age of ten two years ago and I think of her all the time. I wouldn't mind having a wirehaired, they were so nice and friendly.

[@dawncheshire-gibson1859]

I have a miniature wire hair dachshund. He’s a busy little guy.

[@Me-pe8tq]

Saw so many in Germany and the Netherlands. Here in Canada the mini smooth most common. In Europe the most common dachshund I saw was the standard wire haired and second to that the short haired standard. I have a mini smooth haired and a wire haired silky dachshund. Contradiction of terms but he is a mini wire haired with silky locks. He is currently a teenager and testing my patience! But we love him :)

[@MCwalk02]

Favorite dog ever, mine passed away last December, I hope I can get another one, one day.

[@DrJones-nh4my]

I forgot how large the standard is

[@reohtz4878]

Wire haired dauschunds are the best! My brother has had smooth, wired and short coats and Bosco, his wire haired was the best. He loved me, his Uncle Ricky and paid no attention to my brother whenever I visited. He would cry at night outside the guest room door until I let him in and he slept with me every night. This infuriated my brother to no end!

[@nick6947]

Reminds me of our two. When I returned home for a weekend or holidays when at university the two boys came and slept on my bed for first night back after knocking me down at the door to lick my face. Our previous dog was a labrador who was a great dog, but the wire hair dachshunds were so much like little rough and tumble kids rather than dogs. I saw the same boisterous character with the wire haired in Germany and Austria when I lived there.

[@lucyhackett8125]

Beautiful! I have two wire boys Teddy and Freddie ❤️❤️loves of my life

[@lanao2377]

I have one and I absolutely miss him right now (I'm on vacation)

[@vladtepes4346]

So you dachshunds addict clicked some videos as substitute drug? 😁

[@lanao2377]

what

[@patriciahogan4705]

I rescued a wire hair from the dog pound. He was my perfect little boy for 18 years. He only barked if someone appeared to be threatening me. We drove through a wildlife park and he never barked once.

[@rexguy7823]

You don't know what you're missing until you get a mini wire-haired. The wire-haired variety seems to be more common in Germany & Scandinavian countries than the smooth & long but almost unheard of elsewhere

[@JH-lo9ut]

Very common in Scandinavia. I'd say three out of four Dachshunds are wire-haired. They are popular both as companion dogs and hunting dog. , Most hunters seem to prefer wire-haired Dachshunds, as they are a bit more rugged and the coat works well in our climate.

[@mst3kanita]

Aw lil sweethearts.

[@dbsnyder4503]

This breed is among the best blood tracking dogs in the world. We use them here in upstate NY to find wounded deer and bear.

[@Idgafyogz]

We only have smooth duchands

[@roseboyd1925]

I have a Wired haired Dachshund, she is so adorable

[@buythemun]

I wish I did :)

[@beepayne6468]

Rose Boyd same

[@MarvinMonroe]

Little sweeties! Cuter than smooth dachshunds

[@zsoltpapp3363]

True thing, many use dachshunds for small game hunting (especially wirehaired) in Europe, even for boar hunting. That doesnt mean they actually attack the boars, they track them and chase them out of the bush. Some wire haired males can be 25-30 lbs but average is 15. Ideal for fox, rabbit and badger hence the name - "dachs" means "badger" in german. And they make great pets too, very happy clown dogs, intelligent and loyal.

Nemzeti Dohánybolt...Na,akkor itthon vagyunk. :) Először azt hittem,ez a Sibrik Miklós úti Penny,Kőbányán,de ez Miskolc,mint olvasom lent. "Egy is sok..." Na,ez a kis hölgy se nagyon szeretheti az állatokat,úgy tűnik,nekem semennyi nem lenne sok,ha lenne elég pénzem rá...szoktam is mondogatni,legszívesebben úgy élnék,mint Brigitte Bardot,a francia színésznőnek egy farmja van és csak állatokkal él együtt,ő se kedveli az emberek társaságát,vagyis hasonlítunk. Jobb lenne,ha nem tenne ilyen megjegyzéseket. Igen,ők vadászkutyák,ez nem vicc.Gyönyörűek,az egyik tacsink nekünk is pont ilyen szálkás szőrű volt,valami tüneményesen kedves kiskutya volt,nagyon jó természetű,kedves,barátságos,imádta az Apukámat,minket is,de Aput nagyon.Olyan kis helyes pofikájuk van,igazán édesek és aranyosak. Makacsok?Nem feltétlen.A miénk nem volt az.Végtelenül nyugodt baba volt.

[@sharonmassetti2685]

I had a mini wire haired for 16 yrs before she passed on

[@Me-pe8tq]

Lovely you had her so long.. My guy passed at 13 and felt lucky..

[@senorkaboom]

In our family, between all the pet parents, we have seen standard, miniature, tweenie, wire-haired, long-haired and smooth coat Dachshunds. Personally, my favorite is the wire-haired. I love them all, it is just the wire-haired has a little different personality. They are very loving and are a goof of a dog. We have a mini and wire-haired now and they both are special doggies.

[@buythemun]

They are really great dogs, someday I hope to own some sort of dachshund. Since I live in an apartment, I am probably limited to a miniature variety currently. I'd seen these two before, and I was lucky to have the camera on me. Thanks for the comment.

[@ChasedRabbit]

I'm making a short documentary about dachshunds and need a short clip of wirehair dachshunds. If I put your youtube channel in the clip and in the credits, can I use this?

[@buythemun]

Sounds like a winner to me. Do you need anything else?

[@belenromasanta104]

Are these mini or standard?

[@buythemun]

Standard

[@michaelheintz8853]

Wirehaired dachshunds are so ugly they are beautiful. Only once did I see a mini.

[@mireiacortina]

I have a female that had 5 puppies our dog started a fashion in our city now everyone has one

[@archerlady]

Boar is the coat...not that I doubt that these dogs would go after a boar. My boys are 14 lbs and think they're mastiffs.

[@maryannesantomauro326]

The coat color is called Wild Boar. They have been used on boar as a pack. They are also been used on stag. Here in the USA, they are used on Fox, woodchuck and tracking wounded game.

[@KellyK387]

I got my grandmas wirehaired. He bit a pit bull and killed a possum, then he got aggressive with my now 16 year old when he was a baby. They don’t play

[@nikolettaszanto4554]

Sopron *o*

[@buythemun]

Miskolc z

[@OriginalPuro]

Owners who don't control their barking.:s Beautiful dogs though.

[@buythemun]

They barked after the meet,kind of strange.

[@sarielle85]

@@buythemun They most likely wanted to inform other people around, that they can come to say hello, too.

[@lexell21]

Those dachshunds really need to be stripped! It looks like it was like 3 years ago they did that the last time! Jesus, doxies are super adorable if you take care of them! Jeez just strip them

[@k12rising]

They only need to be stripped in the summer.

[@sarielle85]

That's what I thought, too. As soon as our wire-haired dachshund has a few loose hairs, he starts scratching and rubbing that spot. When I see that, I will strip the itching hairs.
