Daschund Has the WEIRDEST OBSESSION Chris Has Ever Seen! | Bondi Vet

[@LoomofDreams]

From what I've heard, Dachshunds are a highly social breed and they do best in packs. If the bigger dogs aren't accepting Schnitzel into their pack, he needs another smaller dog - particularly one of his own breed - to bond with.

[@katbairwell]

You are absolutely right! People need to consider the breed they are choosing to ensure it fits with what the family can provide.

[@atpets621]

My friends used to have a dachshund but he soon became very depressed so they also adopted his brother and he immediately picked up and became the most happy and excited dog and I think this is a really good example of how Dachshunds are like pack animals and need friends and they don’t do well alone

[@jessicajarsak7812]

My dachshund loves playing with my 2 puppies that are bigger than her. She is like Velcro and wants to be everywhere I am. I’m on disability so she doesn’t stay home that often. She’s either with me or watched by my mom or inside when I go on errands or dr appts. My first dachshund. She even sleeps under the covers with me or the recliner or couch

[@zehefressendervogel284]

Or just the piglets

[@kimmarievan-ever6599]

You are right and therin lies the problem..people get a certain dog mainly for aesthetics..what they look like or always wanted one etc.. Dachshund means Badger Hound..and they were used to hunt badgers..they are indeed a pack animal and used to working..they are a very social breed and like to be where any action is whether it be fuss..fun..walks etc they do not like to be on their own..we always had dogs dachshunds of course and cats..the cats usually bigger than the dogs and they all slept together changing from one to the other.. they can get destructive if you don't use up their energy or stimulate their mind whether thats with play or walks people think oh only little dogs don't need a walk..wrong these dogs can walk forever.. I just wish people would search for the right dog for their lifestyle not how they look or the latest trend and you MUST make sure they have ramps if they are allowed on furniture as they can obviously have a history of back trouble which could result in paralysis.. now I hope that hasn't put anyone off because they are indeed loving special dogs and love a structure so with the right insentive..usualy chicken or fish you can train them to do so many things..unfortunately due to health issues i cannot walk a dog anymore so i just have my cats now but i do miss my dachshunds ..

[@12thDecember]

I figured there was some kind of newborn calf smell that was attracting Schnitzel. Really hurt to see him try to play with the other dogs, though, only to be brushed off. I hope he gets a playmate. Being lonely is a really sad life for a friendly dog.

[@brittanyd8103]

The other dogs were ignoring him because he was too high energy. Any dog behaviorist would probably agree. Dogs will do that, if there was a dominant dog there it would have corrected the dog because high energy can lead to fights in a pack.

[@spookshow6999]

He’s annoying.

[@mochino3844]

Catherine and Scott are my aunt and uncle and they got another dachshund not long after this was filmed (this was filmed a really long time ago) and schnitzel and the other dog ruby got along really well and even had puppies together

[@denasewell]

Even though Dr.Chris has a Vet practice in one of the largest cities in the world Dr.Chris has traveled and treated animals all over the world often under third-world conditions with no equipment...I would never describe him as a City- Slicker Vet! Chris has often had to improvise by going to the hardware store for solutions to treat animals! Kudos to Dr.Chris he is an amazing Vet and all-around top-notch human!

[@BondiVet]

Yep Chris grew up in the country and always gives back to his roots!

[@teddycuda]

And one time he went to a craft store to improvise clips to hold a turtle shell in place

[@quillpen815]

Bondi Vet is right. Pretty sure Dr. Chris grew up on a farm. I remember him saying so on an older episode regarding a donkey his family owned. I believe his father was a vet too.

They need to give schnitzel another Dachshund to play with something that's on his highs level that he can interact with.

Spot on! Social breeds need compatriots, if the farm dogs aren't interested, then he needs another family dog to interact with!

Catherine and Scott ( my aunt and uncle) did get another dachshund who was a female called ruby and did eventually have puppies and this was filmed a really long time ago as well

[@teddycuda]

Dogs are social, you can't just leave them alone all day.

[@anthony3032]

I lived in the country side all my life and our dogs were alone when my parents were at work and us at school. They are animals, really social yes but a dog doesn't need constant supervision. People are treating dogs like babies. They are stronger mentally than you think

[@teddycuda]

@@anthony3032 its not about needing supervision or strength of mind. It is about being kind to them...just because an animal has survived, even with flying colors, something we've done to them, does not make it kind.

[@anthony3032]

@@teddycuda when did I said that? As a matter of fact all of our dogs growing up were rescued. But that's not the point.

[@SanovaRae]

@@anthony3032 how many dogs did you have at one time? I’m pretty sure what teddycuda is trying to say is that most dogs don’t do well left completely alone. For example, when one of my dogs passed, the dog left behind barked and cried and paced all day while we were at work. When we were able to, we got a puppy and now they are both completely relaxed and usually napping while we are out. Some dogs, especially when raised that way, are completely fine alone, but some just aren’t.

[@teekotrain6845]

I have a Velcro dog. The more I learn about dogs the more I think breed has a lot to do with it. I know my velcro dog is like that to begin with and I cater to him so I make him more of a velcro dog but he is a Chihuahua and weiner dog mix. And I am definitely not surprised he is a velcro dog after meeting more Chihuahuas and datchunds

[@SarahAParis]

My Uncle had a Dachshund that had an obsession with Porcupines, which necessitated frequent trips to the Vet.

[@BondiVet]

Haha that's not a good combination!

[@mariaconway405]

Did he /she get quilled?????

[@SarahAParis]

@@mariaconway405 Yes, it was terrible. He just couldn't leave them alone, even after 4 run ins. After the fourth time, we didn't let him off the leash outside. I'd say it was our fault..we didn't know there were Porcupines around here at first. They pack a punch!😱

Schnitzer just wanted to be friends!!🤣🤣

[@amandahaskin7230]

I think it’s quiet sad because the little dog just wants so friends

[@nymgrace1227]

I feel like him sometimes. I just wanted to hug him

[@JustASleepySloth]

this poor poor dog, he's desperate for a friend but no one is giving him a chance and I have a feeling that this dog may have been brought up as either a single pup or without parents of the same species because his behaviour is so desperate and overly anxious that I wonder if he doesn't understand how to connect with others? unless of course it's just a stressful environment which it probably is

[@Purelight1960]

Poor Schnitzer.....anyone who is misunderstood gets labeled as being mad.....the reality is that ignorance breeds insanity.....there was a very sound rationale for sausage pups strange obsession. Kudos to Dr. Chris for educating Schnizter's family. Clearly, they love him to pieces.

[@johanneshalberstadt3663]

It's not "Daschund", like they wrote in the title. It's "Dachshund". Pronounced "ducks-hoont". From the German word for badger ("Dachs") and dog ("Hund"). They were called badger-dogs because with their short legs they were small enough to run into badger burrows and help their owners hunt for them.

[@mindthegaphj637]

It's a shame that they needed to call dr Chris out for something that should have been obvious. Taking him inside the house so he could get attention while they're home would have helped, hes just a lonely little doggie that needs a pack, heres to hoping hes happy now with a new friend.

[@eph2vv89only1way]

I wonder if it’s a dachshund thing? My miniature dachshund became obsessed when my cat had kittens. It was great for Mama when she got the dog to babysit while she had some “Mom time”, but then the dog started taking a kitten off by herself when Mom wasn’t getting her to babysit. I ended up putting Mom and the kittens in a bedroom that used to be my daughter’s before she moved out then putting a box spring across the doorway so Mom could get out when she wanted but the dog couldn’t get in.

[@thebluehotel426]

There's a video of a rescue farm where a corgi is everyone's surrogate mother. He kind of goes overboard, but at least they're getting attention.

[@thebluehotel426]

Oh, she wants a puppy of her own.

Why couldn’t the owners see that Schnitzel was be rejected by the other dogs and just get another little dog that he could play with? 🤔 What a unique obsession but understandably so. Vicks what a deterrent though.😂

I don't like that man. That guy is a jerk the way he talked to and treated Chis. Total disrespect. The mocking, "You da Master." He was also a jerk to his wife telling her that he would "catch" the newborn calf and she could wash and Vicks it. And the way he picked Schnitzel up to put him on the 4-wheeler?! 🤬 Yeah. I don't like that man. You would think after seeing that their other dogs won't play with Schnitzel that it would have occurred to them that he needs a friend. And that box cage they have is like a torture chamber for animals in the Australian sun.

Hmm, a big fan of Alan Alda types, are you? You are welcome to the ultra-sensitive, apologetic liberal men with buns you seem to crave.

Since you can't tell when someone's joking, for God' sake, stick with the sidewalk cafe types. The wife didn't look abused, nor the kids, and the Schnitz adores him.

[@Jen.K]

@@lucygray6162 Nah! the guy's an abusive a**hole, arrogant as f. Of course the wife and dog didn't act like they were abused, victims often don't, ever heard of Stockholm Syndrome. That cage out in the full sun and getting picked up by the scruff of the neck, that was enough for me.

[@blueshoes5145]

@@lucygray6162 it doesn't take a genius to realise why he wont be the first pick of most people. There are some insecurities in him that needs some changing and might I say, a clear lack of common sense. And please, there are cattlemen that act much much better. Don't say cattlemen are all like that as if they are an entire breed of different species Lmao. If you like men a bit slow then go for it. Joking and rude are two different things btw. That kind off attitude won't work in the cities but is propably bearable in rural areas cause the amount of people you have access to is limited so you take what you get.
