Hi

[@susanosman3643]

I had a Doxie-mix who was THE best dog that I have EVER had! He was just about perfect and was my self appointed "emotional support" dog. I have PTSD, and all the other problems that go along with that,especially nocturnal panic attacks + my guy somehow figured out how to lessen them. He was a BLESSING. He just passed away Feb of 2022 and my heart STILL hasn't recovered ,and I doubt that it ever will. 💔 I miss him like crazy, I'd love to rescue another 1, but I KNOW that another 1 could NEVER replace my "CUDDLEBUG" or even come close. So, I'm praying that 1 day I will find a cute little dog that will keep me company. 🤞

[@susanosman3643]

I lost my "wienerdog" in Feb and I've been devastated ever since. I just adopted a rescue Dachy and met the transport team Sat. He is now sleeping on the floor next to my bed and I am SOOOOO HAPPY!! He's only 1 yr old so hopefully,we'll be together for a loooooong (pun intended) time! I LOVE HIM ❤

I love my wiener haha we adopted him at 10 months, he’s now 8, and his name is Tank. He was overweight but since I never knew much about daschunds I was over feeding him without realizing it. He got up to 35lbs! We did put him on a diet but unfortunately it was too late and he was diagnosed with diabetes earlier this year. He nearly died. But he was super strong and made it but it did take his vision. he has been trained to not have to be on a leash all the time, but of course now he really won’t wander off because he can’t see. But this doesn’t stop him from playing and having the funniest personality. He’s so sweet and cuddly. I wish I knew more about his breed before adopting him. I was at a conference event where an animal shelter had a booth with several animals looking for homes. I walked past the booth and he caught my eye and I took him on spot. Wasn’t planning on getting a new animal but I needed him lol best doggie ever had. I am blind too so now he and I have a special bond lol

I’ve had three dachshunds many years ago, all rescues. I decided after loosing them not to have anymore. I moved on to rescuing bigger hounds. But!!! I lost my 39 year son two years ago, and somehow fate brought along Max the Dax. Apparently a very disturbed badly behaved non trainable and disturbed Dachshund. A year on ! He’s my savior. He’s as good as gold. No real issues. Yes he’s pushy yes he’s stubborn at times. He’s only peed one time in a year. He’s fun he’s loyal he’s so much fun. He’s helped my grief he came along at a time I needed him. And I guess he needed me. The list of issues was long? But from day one the cage was taken to the tip. He is my bestie and treated as he should be. Wonderful hounds.

[@eb1634]

As a breeder I have seen a huge increase in people wanting this unique breed. I would like to advise people to be really careful when selecting a breeder. Please vet them and make sure they DNA test for genetic abnormalities. Do your research on this breed to see if it's right for you. Please make sure you're ready for the responsibility of owning a breed that is prone to many health issues. Dachshunds are truly wonderful dogs and while it's lovely to see more people appreciating them, it also increases the amount of inhumane backyard breeding.

[@TalentHounds]

yes - we agree. We have seen so many puppy mill rescues and health issues.

I have had a dachshund, I believe Mini Dachshund, for 2 months now. He is 4 months old. Potty training has worked well for us. However, general obedience is such a challenge! This is especially when he has my toddler’s toys. We immediately give him his toys. Saying “No” means nothing to him, unfortunately, so I definitely sense the stubbornness talked about a couple times here. He is sweet and affectionate…. but wow so tough to get to listen (aside from sit and stay and come when we have treats… does great when we have treats! Lol) Anyone else have similar experiences?

Sounds a lot like Kilo the Pug - I have heard similar about other Dachshunds - just need patience, consistent training and treats.

Our dachshund can cover 100 yards at full run and he can easily out sprint me. Just amazing.

[@carlinkag2525]

Got my doxie when I was ten, and we didn't have that bond right away. And I know this because when I took her off the lead and she was scared she would run to the last safe place she saw. Whether it was my parents' car or a shop we passed, but this was obviously dangerous because she didn't give a damn about us calling her. But around 12 years old I started getting bullied a lot and spent more time with her. Taught her some things and got to know her properly. And soon she wasn't running to safe places anymore, she'd run to me instead. So honestly, I didn't teach her to off-lead, she just decided I was her safe place and she'd follow me anywhere. Be it up a mountain or into the ocean. This wasn't super safe either, but I took my job as safe place seriously and she never got hurt. She passed away June of 2019 when I was 22. 12 years wasn't enough, I still expect her to be right behind me and ready for any adventure.

I have a Teckel (Dachshund). I go hunting with her. She is a very usefull hunting dog. She can search on blood trails and is very good at driven hunt. She brings me birds from water (up to ducks). I can go unleashed with her, if there are not too many cars. I have to say every command twice before she reacts ;) In Germany we have three sizes of Dachshund Standard-Dackel Zwerg-Dackel (Dwarf) Kaninchen-Dackel (Rabbit) The smallest (Kaninchen-Dackel) is for hunting rabbits. In Germany many Dachshunds are used for hunting. Very often just for driven hunts. They are slow and the animals like wild boars aren't really afraid of them, but annoyed. The wild boar walk away from the dachshunds and the hunters waiting for the slow boars. Hunting badgers not very often (very very dangerous), but for foxes. They drive or pull the foxes out of their holes.

These dogs are smart and extremely difficult to train - very head strong and stubborn. Most Dachshund owners will admit their Doxies are only 95% potty trained. They can jump really high but that is hard on their backs. They will eat anything that they can get to. Ours got into a dish of brownies and had to have its stomach pumped as it was dark chocolate. That was $1000 hospital visit. Ours got into a pet proof rat poison container left by our pest control service and ate the rat bait. That was a multi-day $2500 hospital bill. The bee or wasp sting ours got was another $1000 hospital bill. So beware they are wonderful but so stubborn they can be very difficult and expensive to deal with. Probably pet vet insurance would be a wise investment.

Hi I bought a dachsand 15 days before now he is 50 days old very cute only one problem it is biting a lot is it normal and how should I stop that habit

[@grelm1322]

Some puppies bite a lot, especially while teething. When the dog starts biting, tell him "no!" and if he listens then give him a treat.

[@JH-lo9ut]

Puppies bite a lot, but they will usually learn to control the strenght of their bite over time. It is a good Idea to let your puppy play with an older, confident dog. The older dog will teach the puppy where to draw the line. You must be careful in choosing a playmate, the owner must be confident in their dog and ok with a bit of rough play between them. Large and/or lively dogs can accidentaly hurt your little dachshund, so be careful with that. Dachshunds are stubborn dogs, and they are bred to be brave and independent rather than careful and obedient. This means you will have to do a lot of obedience training. You will have to work a bit to get your dog’s attention while training it. Dachshund’s really have a mind of their own, so don’t expect their undivided attention. Unfortunally, dachshunds can often develop aggressive behaviour, and they have a strong bite for their size. It is important to note that dachshund’s will respond to fear with aggression, and will often not back down from a fight with a much stronger opponent. The key is to let your dog build it’s confidence by socialising with other dogs and people in a non-threathening context. I suggest consulting an expert trainer if the biting becomes a problem.

[@TalentHounds]

we have a post on the talent hounds website from a great trainer on nipping- very importnat to stop it. Dont give attention and yelp seems to be two effective ways.

[@mka70]

All puppies will 'mouth' their owners.....it's a play thing as well as establishing a 'rank' in the pack. They will try to see what they can get away with. Mouthing can be good bonding fun for both dog and owner, but you have to be very careful and not let it get too out of hand. If you think the dog has actually bitten, rather than 'mouth'...immediately 'yelp', as this is how another pup would react if play became too much. That's how they know they've gone too far. Also give the command NO at the same time. Make sure they also have lots of strong toys around to take their aggression out on too. Dachsies have very powerful mouths and my two could rip a tennis ball to shreds within minutes. Hopefully by now he will have calmed down a little and you have found a good routine and can control their behaviour. I would also recommend getting socialisation classes asap as these dogs can become very difficult to deal with around other dogs and small children. Anything they see as a threat really. But in the main, these dogs are so loyal and loving and fun. Hope you have a long life together with him.....and the one you will buy within the next 12 months. No one just has one! ;)

Check his eyes to see if they are grey, it could be early signs of glaucoma which happens a lot in young dachshund. Mine got it her last few years of her life and that was one of the signs. It’s best to check with a veterinarian even if it’s just nothing.💕

[@bridgetbarber2935]

I got my baby 6 months ago when she was 4 weeks old. The moms nipple got absest causing her to stop feeding her. The owner said they was eating wet food already so to go ahead and get them. How ever myself and my friend that got one as well noticed that wasn't infact the case and even with the puppy milk they seemed to strangle themselves trying to lap it up. So we went and got them puppy bottles, and they didn't want nothing to really do with them. In the end I used dropper. After about 3 weeks they did start eating on their own. What worries me now is that mine, and others in the litter have unbilical hernias. The vet is keeping an eye on it for now. However he said with so many having it in the litter that it was likely genetic and would likely be passed on so it would not be a good idea to bread her. Considering I got her for a companion and not for breeding this is not an issue for me or my friend. Although I would have liked for her to have had one litter before getting her fixed. They say it makes them more content in the long run and that dogs can grieve not ever having one as well as makes them more temperamental. I know my great dane went through the grievance and would even go through false pregnancies producing milk and everything, but was never ill tempered. I never let her bread. Most Great Danes only live 6 to 8 years, at 14 year she was the only living out of her litter and I made the choice to put her down because she was in a lot of pain in her hips and back and could no longer even get up on her own. I guess I went from one extreme to the other by getting a dachshound next. But she is so awsome. I originally payed for one of the boys, but when I went to pick him up, she came running right to me wanting to play and be loved on, then snuggled right on me and went to sleep while the little boy took to my bestfriend. So she paid me for him and I turned around and paid for my Dixie. So she pretty much choose me and has been a blessing. I am curious of anyone else's thoughts or experiences on letting her have a litter before getting her fixed.

[@TalentHounds]

I would ask your vet about breeding. I have heard it is no longer recommended but I am not a vet - there is apprently not evidence to support that it will calm down a dog or that they may grieve. Probably not worth the risk.

Biggie sounds wonderful. I am sorry his back went but how great you got him surgery and he can walk again. I bet he loves his home-cooked meals. XS

We call my moms 2 dachshunds miniature he’ll hounds. They are so mean. Which is surprising cause they were trained well and have always been shown love and have never been mistreated. But they are horrible.

[@TalentHounds]

Sorry to hear that. Every dog is different. Maybe they are jealous of you and guarding your Mom.

[@janaleecrosby8462]

They also get Cushing congestive heart failure with leaking heart valve

Loving dogs but very disobedient! He is 6 months old , inside dog trained to use potty training pads. Today he got on my bed not once but twice and pooped on it. Super confused and annoyed as to why he would that. This is my first dog and I regret not researching more about their breed.

[@TalentHounds]

They need a lot of patience and training but usually well worth it. I hope he has improved his toilet behaviour. Sometimes it takes a year+.

[@carlarodriquez1006]

The last, 3 weeks my Izzy acts like she's mad at me. She follows me like always. She goes n sleep on couch instead of kitchen rug. I'm redoing the bathroom She would sit on on the bed n face the wall. She'll sleep with me part of time n goes to her room. Does that sound like depression

[@TalentHounds]

Maybe upset by strangers and redoing the bathroom?

[@BeKindToEveryKind74]

You should let your vet know, in order to rule out a medical problem.

[@ladyannet1]

Dachsens come in 3 sizes , standard - mini - kaninchen. We always say A dog has A owner A dachsen has staff . They will tell you what they want and what not and when 😂 they are little clowns with their humor but also not the easiest dogs to own especially if you are A first time dog owner. People should realise that. And Please buy your dog from A lisenced breeder, or adopt. There are so many dog breeders out there who only breed for the money and don’t care about the dogs health. Our first dachs (adopted) went blind before he was 3 just because his parents both had A eye disease wich causes blindness and they should have never been put together to have puppies. A lisenced dog breeder knows this that if A dachs has this kind of eye disease they can never breed . And they are monitored and have to take their dogs for A health check before they are allowed to breed them.

All my Wirehaired moms say heyyyyyyy

[@rexguy7823]

Lets see..my mini wirehaired is smarter than some humans..he is untrainable..he barks at anything & everything..and he is my dog. After my wife he is my best friend. I love my little guy to bits

[@TalentHounds]

They are the best. Love my little guy too.

[@colbolt54]

Mine is never been stubborn!!!

[@kp-gbuniqueinterest]

Uhm my winner would be off a leash all the time. She listen to me. We would let her go out in the front yard and come back after she did here morning walk and bathroom. There was no fence at all. Walking to my friends house she would fallow me everywhere without a leash.

[@TalentHounds]

How wonderful- what a great dog. I know some well trained dogs that can go off leash too but apparently there are many more that are safer kept on a leash (like pugs). Here it is a city law to keep dogs on leash out on the street too.

[@cintia.carolina]

My weiner stays on a leash when we go on a walk! He runs after our neighbors ducks and chickens he zones out on trying to catch other animals and will not listen when I call him. But regardless, he’s the best dog ever!! I love walking and hiking so when I was looking for a dog I knew I needed a dog that I could keep up with their lifestyle and they with mine. I’m ready to add another weiner baby to our family! 💛

[@jevinday]

yeah my weenie comes out front with me and never has a problem. We also take her on walks around the neighborhood without a leash (we obviously still carry a leash with us), but the reason she's so reasonable is because she's too scared to get too far from us.

[@kp-gbuniqueinterest]

@@jevinday we trusted her and she listened to us. We would put her in the back yard when we gone longer than 4 hours. She would dig under the fence and wait in the fron near the garage until we got back. She would be basking in the sun lookimg for us.

[@brendanazario9573]

I have a10 month dapple. After 9 month with us he started to try to make love to anything or everything, I feel ashame with my visitors,friends and family. Advice me

[@jrambo7495]

My best friend owns several Dachshunds and he's under the impression that they don't need to be walked! Makes me mad.

[@mikesmiths1936]

They have such warm eyes!! #rowl4nd9959

[@mikesmiths1936]

I ain't doing it lol...

[@johnboybane778]

Unless you have never had a dachshund own you you have never been treated as a best friend they are not an average puppy dog

[@carlarodriquez1006]

my Izzy likes to go 4 rides. She don''t like the back. She wants 2 sit on console or right Next 2 me. Trust me not enuf room. 4 both of us. When we go out of town, about hr. Everytime a stopped she was bound t determined Shes gonna. She gets potty N short walk. I'd let her out at home. She takes her own walks. Barks at the neighbors n she sees them everyday
