Shout out to my dachshund, I miss you buddy.

[@knuddelkatze452]

My dachshund daisy was the most loyal, bravest yet most cuddly dog ever! They have so much personality. I had her for 17 happy, healthy years!

[@whitehat8274]

Anyone who has ever had, loved and lost a doxie, knows what a big hole it leaves in your heart when they go. I am so glad that you got to have so many long years with yours. I miss my millie so much.

[@knuddelkatze452]

@@whitehat8274 I know!! Letting her go was the hardest thing i ever had to do! Still miss her! She was the best! Maybe you can get one again if you are ever ready for it! They just make life so much better!

[@atomiccracker]

My Dachshund, Ash, was my best friend for 16 years...I rescued him when he was 2, so he actually was 18 when he passed...Im still having a terrible time with the loss....they really are my favorite dog breed.

[@missdead1]

[@anthonylivesay6358]

14 years with my boy Woody. Wouldn't trade the memories for all the money in the world. He was a good boy. :-(

[@rebeccajesse4604]

I recently had to put my 18 year old dachshund down. I have had him since he was 12 weeks and I was 11 years old. There really are no dogs like dachshunds. From their amazing personalities to their stubborn streak they are fantastic

[@karlanortje627]

Even if they've done something bad you just CAN'T stay mad at them 😂

[@kiwi.223]

I know

[@davidmonroe7783]

There your kid that never grows. up just wants love amd play

[@pradeep1481]

And that look makes every rock heart melt..........

[@kskeel1124]

Not me lol... One of mine ate my steak off my plate, I didn't pet or give him a treat for two weeks... He's never done it again...

[@eileendeossie2216]

All I could do was smile and awww the whole time. This is my breed. They are the best. I love my smooth standard red girl Penny

[@CeedgeMrcs]

Omg i have a smooth dachshund x chihuahua black and tan girl named Penny! She looks like a dachshund except her ears are not as long and she's a bit smaller than most. Love herrr. She's my baby and my best friend ♡

[@eileendeossie2216]

Yay for twins on naming our dog such a cute name!!! I love my girl she is def my baby.

[@missdead1]

Proud mama of 2 doxies

[@3summerfriends472]

my too I have anxiety and my two help with it

[@tommyradko1563]

Mine died 1 month ago. It was part of my family for 13 years. Wonderful creature full of love.

[@socalswells]

Our little guy passed in November last year after 13 years too. We love reminiscing about all the fun times we had with him...it always brings smiles to our faces ☺

[@Eonflare55]

Now if only dogs could live as long as we did. Then they'd be absolutely perfect.

[@LAMODÉLISTE]

Eonflare55 I know right? Dogs are even more loyal than people.

[@megxx7299]

Anyone who knows how incredible they are is smiling through this whole video. Love my girl lolli ❤️❤️❤️

[@vd2597]

I own 5. Two short haired and 3 long haired. Let's just say things always stay interesting around here. I love them.

[@lewbaxter243]

100 pound dog in a 10 pound sack! My Jolly is my best friend and my wife’s fearless protector. At 11 years old, he’s a little slower, a little grayer but no less loving. With any luck, he’ll be around for many more years and we’ll grow old together.

[@ljeffcoat8414]

Best breed ever.

[@mikeolives18]

Thought I lost my man card when I bought my old lady a dachsund, until I realized he was tougher and braver than any 120 lb dog I've ever had and just as smart. Hell of a dog 10/10

[@richardturner6981]

I have a Beagle/Dachshund named Gigi and i just recognized a couple of Dachshund traits. She's very active and she loves to dig her way under the blanket. She's a rescue dog and she's full of love and is also a good watch dog. She has a small Beagle like head.

[@dylangreen8797]

I didn't know Dachshunds were such tough little dudes. Makes me respect them that much more. Such cute little buggers lol.

[@Em4gdn1m]

My dachshund loves to sing. Anytime "Something" by The Beatles is sung or comes on, he FREAKS out singing along. If I say "I love you" he tries his best to say it back with his howling. He is the CUTEST boy ever. I love my dachshund so much.

[@earlgreydionne1489]

My gorgeous girl is a wirehaired dachshund we rescued from Spain when she was 9. She's now 13 and I am so grateful to have her. She is the most loving girl. She was there for me when I was very low. I'm so dreading when we have to say goodbye to her

[@dariodzimbeg]

Proud owner of one Dachsgirl.

[@deeds517]

Dario Džimbeg me too ❤️

[@marilirosales1281]

Same here

[@TR-hy9pn]

I have a chiweenie, and she has the best qualities of both breeds. She's a great lap dog, but also very trainable, smart, and great with strangers and kids.

[@TR-hy9pn]

@Alexis ONeal that's really great! I love this breed!

[@ceciliejensen7506]

What a lovely video! Makes me love my cute little dachshund even more! I’ve grown up with lots of dachshunds as almost everyone in my family owns dachshunds. They’re impossible to say no to

[@necessitousfox]

No wonder they are so popular since this little dog's bravery and heart is beyond any other breed I've ever met!! I got two and wouldn't change them for anything ❤ my miniature girl protects me against everything, no matter how huge! 😂

[@davidmonroe7783]

People come over i tell them dont worry anout my pit. Shadow my dashsand is the one to watch

[@alexanderjohnson8800]

Forever my favorite breed. From the first one I’ve ever owned over 17 years ago I fell in love with them and are the only dogs I want to have. I love all dogs, but the love I have for Dachshunds is unmatched.

[@dawnyockey1475]

Our last past away February 1st. I miss him everyday . I careless how they came to be, they are a stand alone dog. So much everything ! !

[@Peachy08]

My doxie Mr Moose crossed over the rainbow bridge on new years eve 2018. Best dog I ever had the honor of loving. He was 1 of 5 I have had in my life.

[@tanyanorris7111]

My dashund Mini was 11 years old and she passed away May 19 2019. She may have been small but she was fearless and loyal.

[@rachelburt5512]

Had a doxie for 13 years. Such a sweet, brave, and stubborn boy. Loved him in life and will still love him after death. Would love to have another some day.

[@Zombies8MyPizza]

2:05 "Well, it's not cute, and it's not a lapdog". "Expert" lol...

[@sarahwiley2783]

Never had a dachshund before my little Annabelle....now I don’t think I can go without one in my life. I love her to pieces and although she’s a mix of dachshund and poodle, I see so much more dachshund in her! She loves digging, barking, starting fights with giant dogs, exploring, and bothering her sister’s until they play with her. She’s also just learning how to cuddle (she’s almost 4 but she never really liked cuddling until recently) and she’s becoming more loving. I love this breed and the joy it’s brought to my family

[@michellelmcgraw]

I ❤️ my weenies so much! I’ve owned dogs my entire life & of course I have loved all of them very much but there’s just something about my Doxie’s that have captured my heart in a way that no others have.

[@tharpetigger]

I have rescued two and found both of them loving families. I currently have a mini black and tan i named Rosie she is 4yrs now. We go everywhere together and are enjoying my retirement.

[@deeds517]

All those babies

[@wilmaettason8856]

I had a Dachshund mix cocker spaniel she passed away three weeks ago I miss her so so much rest in peace little coconut mommy loves you

[@stray8535]

Mine lived to be 18 yo...he was the most brave,loyal and ferocious dog I've ever seen.

[@kskeel1124]

My girlfriend has a standard black and tan female and a standard brown and tan wire haired male great dogs I love how suspicious they are of strangers and how easy they are to maintain compared to her teacup Shih Tzu that has to go to the groomer every 2-3 weeks... Very loving, loyal and fearless dogs...

[@traceandjackiewalker7496]

We have three miniatures, Ronie, Schatzie and Annie. They are simply one of the most loving furry family members I've ever seen. I'll never be without one.

[@arbidayoung1308]

I love my Dachshund Honey, she fought off 2 pitbulls and lived to tell about it. She's lovable and protective. I got her from the city pound and she chose us. I knew when I met her she was a special Dog. 💖

[@rositawest4279]

I miss my Charlie! That dog was the love of my life! ❤

[@katelynmetzger9666]

Love my mini chocolate wire hair dachshund Tucker. Like the video said he loves to "talk" . Definitely one of the best breeds.

[@shannongray9986]

My snagga, Bangers, was watching this with me while nosing at the screen! He is my world

[@farokhpersia727]

I had 2 of them for 15 years dachshund and Jack Russell are best dogs to live with

[@barbaradydak8606]

Amo tutti bassotti del mondo❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@foxynei]

One of my favorite breeds by far. I have 6 currently and will always have at least 1 until my dying day :)

[@JessacaRedd]

I’ve been a Doxie lover for 32 years. I have 2, I’ve had 4 in my lifetime 💜💜💜

[@itsyaboiaubs7904]

The only thing my dachshund uses his legs for are running down the stairs into the kitchen and begging me for food

[@wonderwoman9027]

I have two 9 yr old rescued miniature. One is Black and Tan long haired and a red short hair. I take them to visit our nursing homes and to the VA center. They love the attention. I also got my Black and Tan certified as my therapy dog when I got diagnosed with breast cancer.

[@americanwoman6124]

My absolute favorite small breed! We have an eleven year old male miniature smooth coat red brindle . I cannot imagine life without Zeke or his younger ''sister,'' Bunny, our nine year old German Shepherd.

[@sabineottala3588]

Mine gives a lick of affection whenever I say the word 'sausage' 😊

[@TheSeptemberSapphire]

After three doxies, I've learned they are big personalities in small packages.

[@annabiotic1078]

My first dachshund was a standard smooth red haired male named Harry. He was the cutest dog. And saved my mother from being bitten by a rattlesnake. Miss that dog!

[@bryanabrego3051]

I have a brindle Doxie/terrier mix. Cutest little thing you’ve ever seen

[@Miyao05]

As a Dachshund owner, this video made me so happy. I love them so much!!!!

[@azbu204]

My jasper is 2 and half , red smooth standard breed .... I just totally and completely crazy in love with him.... he rules us.... I dont care about how much he barks.... he's our life. My love!!!❤❤❤😍😍😍👍👍👍😘😘😘

[@richv7749]

Wonderful video! I own two Dachshunds and even though they are sisters, each is unique.

[@KhoaNguyen.08]

Excellent video! Great content - and narration. Please do more of these Breed videos. Thanks!

[@hannabelle524]

Dachshunds truly are the best dogs. Anyone who has ever owned one will agree!

[@sah7456]

Mine is a mix and hes my first dog. We are so much a like to each other. Love that little boy of mine

[@L-ln5fk]

I had a black and tan standard, smooth, mother and daughter, may they rest in peace. Now I have my third, also smooth standard, but red. I love them so much and they are so loyal, smart, protective, sharp when necessary, but also gentle. Today, my Kiara saw a crow on the tree and she sat beneath the tree, barking loudly, as if telling me, here is my prey. Dachshunds are so magnificent, I adore them. ❤❤❤

[@kayleharakal1874]

[@alonglongkumer2964]

Thank you so much AKC! I thoroughly enjoyed this video. It's so informative. There are a lot of videos out there but not as well rooted in authentic knowledge especially on history as this one and that too with great pictures from the past. Please do more meet the breeds videos. Your previous videos on different breeds are also great (but I can't find full length videos here on you tube on most breeds except very few like Rottweilers and Great Danes...they were so exhaustive! Absolutely fantastic!)....please make more videos....would love to see one on Dobermans.

[@georgie3344]

This video made me cry as I think about my dachshund Bismarck!

[@drewbartley7328]

My B+Tan mini smooth hair BISMARCK is 18 + years ruptured 3 spinal discs while chasing down a Racoon . $$$ but still limps along and can hardly see and hear but remains tough as nails !! Amazing Tough little dog and breed ! Miss his brother Kaiser.

[@olinevir]

Love at first sight is real, I felt it when my brother gave me my dear Vodka as a gift 11 years ago.

[@brianjones8106]

Have four, lol is for"lot's of love" because they are fantastic! They are 19,18 and 4 wouldn't have it any other way!! Long life span is most of the time and very much protective of you and your family!! Great for any person who wants to have a little fun dog!! Jmo!!

[@maddydantas2631]

Wow 19! I have one 7 month, and one 1.5 yr old dachshund. Makes me happy to know they can be around that long

[@Amaleigh2024]

I love my doxies. My first dog was a doxie and we named him dexter because of his boar color fur being almost orange like at 3:25. Now we have four doxies (3 have AKC collar tags) and a chiweenie.

[@ms.bjsanders5816]

I'm a Doxie rescue mommy of a whiny silly boy. He's an only child since my other dogs have all passed away in the last few years. The most recent was 9/11/18 and we've finally started looking for a new friend. I'm like most. Once you go Doxie you never go back. 😆

[@LAMODÉLISTE]

These dogs are very unique, I don’t know if you guys noticed but they’re the sweetest, I am a designer, pattern-maker and artist... whenever I’m at my workshop my Yumi stay with me so behaved and just on her blanket and sleeping. Okay yes they’re maybe clingy they want to follow you wherever you are but I guess it’s part of their personality they’re very overprotective with they’re parents. I love my Yumi because she’s so funny, stubborn, cute, well now she’s lazy because she’s 11 but she’s still my baby, like the first time I held her back in 2007. Dachshunds are the best. Just the best.

[@rca6576]

I adore this breed and I've had three doxies in my life but, boy oh boy!!! are they hard to house train!

[@dustinfisher29]

That was one nice short docu

I’ve got a chiweenie (1/2 dachshund 1/2 chihuahua). I have no idea where her cuddly, sleepy personality comes from, but she loves to dig and is very protective!

[@aquajuwel7098]

I have 3....and I want more, my favorite breed, they have personality and are strong little dogs. And very loyal...

[@ladythalia227]

Dachshunds forever. Thalia, Gaia, Tara and Thia; forever in my heart, RIP my babies in heaven. Tilla; love you, my little dapple girl.

[@markhall7646]

OK, I'm hopelessly in love with 'em.

[@Dachdogoriginal]

Thats all I will own. Naught naughty naughty. And that's the well behaved ones. Lol. Total characters. Actually they own YOU. You better be real firm or your going to be a slave to their behavior.

[@raquelmota14]

You're right. Alongside with their breavery, they are very stuborn dogs, people need to have this in mind before consider adopt one. You have to have a high energy to match theirs and impouse yourself as a leader.

[@northidahoadam7866]
