If you balled up, cuteness, feistiness, and a whole lot of funny, then stretched it out into a dog, you would have the Dachsund. I recently met up with Oscar, Jenevive, and Laurel to discuss their lives and love of the Dachsund breed. Each one is totally committed to this adorable and confident dog breed.
The dachshund is a short-legged, long-bodied, hound-type dog breed. They may be smooth-haired, wire-haired, or long-haired. The standard-size dachshund was developed to scent, chase, and flush out badgers and other burrow-dwelling animals, while the miniature dachshund was bred to hunt smaller prey such as rabbits. I'M A BIG FAN OF DJI DRONES AND CAMERAS, GREAT FOR GETTING AMAZING PHOTOS AND VIDEOS OF YOUR DOGS.

There is a huge difference between pets and kids.

[@mzx4166]

I dislike this fondness for terming them furbabies. Possibly for some it has manifested to the point of attacking people because of a different view of dog care or whatever. Occasionally I see people who've placed ads giving away or selling their dogs requesting not to be abused! I theorize rising pet ownership correlating with increased stress from falling living standards.. nasty attitudes an unfortunate side effect.

[@crunchytaco.]

Analia Jimenez Hi! You have to be consistent and committed. It’s a lot of work. My personal tip, hire a trainer. It will go so much smoother. Typically wait 2-3 weeks, have the puppy become comfortable in your home and hire a trainer. It’s gonna be tough, I’m still experiencing the puppy blues. You also need a strong support team, as one person really can’t raise a puppy on their own(at least not in my case).

[@avavanpelt926]

My first and only dog was a Dachshun growing up. I got her as a baby when I was barely 4. She followed me everywhere and was the bravest dog for the smallest dog I owned. She took down a Saint Bernard by leaping up and grabbing it by the throat. She won. She owned the culdesac and patrolled daily. Was super smart and loyal till the very end. Probably the best dog I ever had and ever seen.

I got my first dachshund in 2003, and she was with me until last July. After nearly a year without a dog, I'm bringing home a new doxie at the end of May 2019. I like the video presentation above, and would like to point out just a few bits about the breed. They can be very stubborn, and will bark their heads off unless you work hard to train it out of them. They love to burrow under blankets and will not be happy unless they can sleep with you...I think it's critical to their well being that they're able to do so. They really will follow you around and stare...sometimes it can be a bit unnerving to look over and see them looking right at you, lol. In my humble opinion, they are the most pleasing breed to have as a companion. If you get yourself a dachshund, you can count on having a loyal friend.

[@vaskylark]

Boy you're not kidding. My doxie follows me everywhere, is a lap dog, licks my mouth like crazy, very affectionate, barks her head off, kills rabbits in the yard is amazing at sniffing out and then destroying and eating bunnies in their burrows. She likes other dogs but doesn't particularly like children and this is the second one I've had who didn't like children. Amazing sense of smell, does burrow under covers, couch cushions and does want to sleep right up against your feet or legs. Loveable dogs. I wasn't much of a dog lover until I got a dachshund.

[@jenaegarey9252]

I had all three types. Longhairs are laid back. Wirehairs are more play oriented, and smooth are scrappy alarmists. All of them bark a lot. Its the temperament, not the color your looking for. Does the dog want to play with it’s toy with you, or is your presence good enough,? When you come come from being away, does the dog greet you and leave, or does it prefer to follow you? Boys are more loyal and have smaller bladders. Girls last up to eight hours between pee, and aren’t as glued at the ankle. Dachshund breeds have issues with their backs eventually. They like to bark and chase wildlife. A harness rather than a collar would be better. Their teeth rot out of their head, so keep money on hand for that. They also love everyone’s poop- so make it a habit to pick up the yard after them. I have noticed females like to go looking for stinky stuff to roll in. A leash at all times when out of the house will save you frustration. They are scent hounds. Unless you have something better than what they are going to get, your dog will act deaf to your call. Extension leashes were made for this breed.

[@catherinelynnfraser2001]

My favourite breed. Thank you, thank you, thank you❤️💕❤️

[@catherinelynnfraser2001]

I have had two standard smooths. My bitch has had a couple of issues with her back but has remained fit and lean and very good natured. The rule I go by and has worked for me is that if she can jump on it, she can jump off. She has glucosamine every day. She does stairs every day inside and out. The biggest miss in this conversation with dachshunds is how stubborn this breed is. They are clever and intense and so very, very willful. My male had the biggest presence of any dog I knew. He had amazing confidence. He literally stopped a train and a semi or two.

I have a min long hair 7 y/o baby, he owns our house, I love him to bits. They loveeee cuddles and snuggles hiding their little noses under the blankets. I wouldn't have a different dog, he owns my heart ❤️

These are the best and most loving dogs, my grandma had 4 and one would always sleep with me at the very bottom of my bed

[@kjbull2728]

I have had Dachshunds all my life. There are ramps all over my house. They have a ramp to their day bed right in front oof a big picture window. They have their own dog door and 4 acres to roam. We have gopher turtles in our area and our dogs can dig tunnels. Our dogs take on deer and the deer run from them. They take on snakes as a pack. One of our dachshunds got a black snake and twirled in in circles banging the snake against the 4x4 of the deck until it was dead. They take down water moccasins as a team. They hunt squirrels, rabbits,lizards any that come in their fenced in 4 acres. I had 2 that need back surgery and they fully recovered. I have loved many (20) and always kept them their entire life. Most I had at one time 5. Those were such good years. I’m a little to old to have that many now. We are down to 2 we don’t want to leave orphans so they will probably be the last 2. They have a been our baby’s and each ones time to go death was agony. My last to go was 18 most of them were 15 & 16. Our last ones are 5 and 2 one long hair one short. Each one out of 20 each had a different personality. They all had big personalities! They are our keepers and our boss. They are with every where. We put our shoes on to go out and they are ready to go on and adventure. I can’t even imagine not having a dachshund.

What an amazing story Maureen, thanks for sharing that. They are truly amazing little guys

Man I want a dachshund so bad they're great. Goofy, stubborn, cuddly but also energetic. They're small enough to live in the city but will also force me to get out of the house for short to medium walks which is what I need because I'm bipolar. I don't want to live with roommates after my college year, but I need someone to get me up and keep me company. Dachshunds sound like the perfect stubborn little weiners to get me up and living when I'm down.

[@sjsisjsjks]

The show breeders going for super long backs and super short legs over the past hundred years have ensured you will pay thousands in ortho surgery bills at some point in your doxie's life, unfortunately. Along with watching your dog in incredible pain and the constant worry that another disc will slip just playing around.

[@EulogizingSleep]

joey mine lived for 14 years only went to the vet for shots. Idk any of my friends who own one who ever had to go to the vet for back issues

I hope you got one!!! They are so cute, I would love to have one too.

[@marietreibley1749]

Can anyone tell me where i can get one fairly cheap . I WANT ANOTHER ONE. THEY SLEPT WITH ME LAID IN MY ARM LIKE A BABY. I MISS THEM. LOOKING GOR ONE FOR COMPANY AND HELP WITH MY DEPRESSION. GET ME ON MESSENGER

[@AnishinaabeMona]

Large dog in a small package. Extremely loyal to the master THEY choose. Very loyal to their person. I have had standard wires. This breed/variety has an extremely pronounced DRY sense of humor. “Bold to the point of rashness “ is a very real characteristic trait as well as their extremely high intelligence. My doxies were both obedience trained so our outings were really enjoyable for all of us because they were able to be off-leash. I also competed in obedience competition all over the country and they always placed usually taking a first or second-no lie. Great dogs! Socialize! So important for ANY breed as is basic obedience training.

Alvin is turning 11 on 27th May. He is lovely, but quiet (doesn’t care about the postman or other potential serial killers in the neighbourhood) and doesn’t do rain! He is friendly with other dogs, except for Golden / Labrador Retrievers... don’t know why 😒

My first dog was a dachshund, I got her in the first grade and she taught me how to respect dogs for what they are . She wasn’t afraid to bite your ass for messing around, she was pure intensity every time we went on a hunt it was a guarantee that she was going to kill something

[@SplinterFox]

Would love to see more working dachshunds. One of the few breeds able to hunt underground in complete darkness. They make great pets, but also great working dogs. And I feel like that is really missed in our breed. Great video though, Love this channel!

I love dachshunds. We have had four. They have all been minis. Dottie, 4.5 lbs and almost 15 years old passed in my arms 3 days ago. I'm so sad. We are now dogless.she was a pibold, with blue eyes. And a lover, unless she was on guard duty. Then watch out. So ferocious.

[@juliehiestand8180]

We also say Dottie is a little s***. She is so spoiled. And her personality is unbelievable. She will let you know exactly what she wanted. It was very hard when we had three at home. They had a pack mentality and there was absolutely no stopping them. But we love them so much and I wouldn't change a thing.

[@jonathanmcclintock3434]

Watching these people with leads round their necks makes me nervous....use a harness

[@jennienguyen7137]

These dogs are very muscular ,sturdy and strong. They are not tiny with delicate neck, dainty little Yorkies or teacups Pomeranians, miniature Poodles.... etc..As long as you don’t yanked their leash or pulled them. Holding the leash around their neck is fine. You want a secured leash or risked them outrun you. They love to run! My family called them miniature horses, they even galloping like horse. Mine sometimes walks like a show horse.

[@jkaat7373]

I couldn't even watch!! That short haired ones front feet were barely touching the ground cause it was being strangled!! Jesus christ!

[@jennienguyen7137]

Jessica Kaat I went back to watch it again. These people (with leash)are trainers for competition in dog shows. Their leads or leash are much thinner and more delicate than regular leash. All dogs will let owner or trainer know right away when they’re strangled by coughing ,gagging and stop walking then their head will lowered in distress with more gagging. The dog you’re talking about was fine. They need to lift head up high when being judge. Trainer signaled dog to lift head, chest, tail . It DOES looks bad but dogs can’t lie, especially if they’re hurt or in trouble. Trainers even used this thin lead for tiny toy dogs in dog show. My concern for this breed is that they can easily suffer from broken back when fall or held without support their back/butt, not collapse tracheae like tiny neck ,delicate teacup dogs. This doesn’t mean you can pull on any dog’s neck. I use the leash that prevent pulling on mine because my Dash is impatient and hyper, he pulls when excited. The winter I use harness/jacket combo for added warmth. These dogs don’t like extremes heat or cold so be careful with this breed.

[@chrisdaguru2338]

This is a great video on, How Not to Live with a Dachshund, these dogs are some much more than this even get close to explaining. They do need a lot more room than they claim on here, or they are not getting stimulated. If you allow the dogs to have room and get proper kind of exercise, they will build a lot of muscle and not so easily be injured. Any way would love a legit video on true outdoor working type, whether for play or actual working of this breed. They are truly amazing, and that doesn't come through on this. They come across as an extremely fragile foo foo dog, of which they are not!!!

[@tatianeleite4081]

Also can we talk about these awful collar used only to show off the dogs?? This baby 1:41 almost can put their paws on the ground! Dachshunds already have a tendency to have back problems, do NOT use these types of collars!! If you really want to use neck collars, you should at least use a bigger leash. Thats very painful to watch, and i bet its even more painful for the dogs...

[@nope6021]

@@tatianeleite4081 yeah I was wondering why they were pulling up so much on the leash? It just seems uncomfortable. I always leave dog leashes slack when I walk my dad's dog, neighbors dog or aunts dog... unless they're like trying to run off and bug someone but it's just odd to pull so hard. I wouldn't want someone tugging my neck so hard lol.

[@DragynGirl]

@@nope6021 Those are show leads. You can tell a show lead from a normal lead, in that a show lead acts as collar and lead all in one, and is meant to show off the dog so will more than likely match its coat color. The dogs start training at a very young age to take to the lead and how to walk on a show lead. Believe me if those dogs were uncomfortable, you'd know it!

[@sjsisjsjks]

Unfortunately the pet/show type Dachshund *is* extremely fragile. The super long backs and lack of leg make them a constant orthopedic risk to themselves, as any vet can tell you firsthand.

[@DragynGirl]

@@sjsisjsjks Every breed has some sort of heath issue that may arise in any dog. If you know how to care for a doxie, and make sure they don't jump off stuff they aren't supposed to, don't overfeed them, etc, and make sure they get get their at least biannual check-ups and teeth cleanings/blood work-up, they can live very happy healthy lives. Like ALL breeds. they have their health quirks, you just need to know what you are getting yourself into when you decide to make one a family member. In my family, we have had 3 collies, a keeshond, a yorkie, a blue heeler, and a doxie that have all lived well into their teens. We currently have a 6 y/o collie and 3 month old doxie that have become fast friends, and the collie plays with the puppy as if it were one of her own (even tho she's been spayed since 6 mo of age).

[@benjaminbass2607]

Garrett Staten I fuckin know right? That shit pisses me off. Idk if it’s a part of the way they train them or what not but I only use a harness on any dog that I’ve owned. They’re way more comfortable for the dog and they don’t get choked

[@James14OO]

@@benjaminbass2607 Harnesses are great for most breeds, but not dachshunds because of the susceptibility to back problems. You can get leads/collars that will only tighten to a point and therefore will never choke the dog but will prevent them from slipping out. They stay slack until the dog pulls, so they are comfortable. Ultimately if you train the dog well enough it won't pull often and it won't be a problem

[@benjaminbass2607]

James Williams It’s actually the complete opposite. Collars can create neck/back issues. If you have a snug harness it evenly distributes pressure throughout the spine. I’ve had multiple dachshunds and none have ever had back issues. Idk where you got that info from but you hurting yo dog

[@miroslavhajduk1797]

Agreeeee!!!!

[@lolalover24212]

James Williams yeah that’s completely false, harnesses (especially vest-like supportive ones) are far better for your dachshund than collars. The way they walk show dogs is very particular and it’s only used to keep their head up and avoid sniffing/distraction and is not the way you should ever walk a dog for exercise.
