5 Things You Must Never Do to Your Dachshund

[@d.dilley3837]

We bought sisters as pups. One lived to be 15, the other was 18. They were and still are part of our family. They were so smart and had wonderfully expressive and totally different personalities. Thinking of them brings joy and tears at the same time.

[@susan_vegas]

I lost my BabyGirl just a few days ago on Dec 5th. Everything I do reminds me of her and I miss her so much it hurts. I'm grateful for the 18+ years I got to share my life with her.

[@gingerscherrer]

I've had dachshunds in my life for 42 years now. I currently am the proud owner of 8 of them. Each one is unique in their own way but they are all the most loving and devoted to me. They love to get themselves buried under the blankets as well as they love to bark. They are great hunters with no fear and are definitely a pack that will stick with each other and they don't back down. I could write a book on their adventures.

I’ve owned many different breeds of dogs in my 75 years. I now proudly have my 3rd Dachshund! They are wonderful pets. Extremely smart, very devoted, loving, sensitive (feelings get hurt easily), but wonderful companions! They can be stubborn from time to time but you can work around that. I LOVE, LOVE them. If I were physically able I would have 2 or 3 more. I also have a 14 year old Pekingese who has been blind about 3 years. My Dachshund is so caring and patient with him. He amazes me the ways he tries to assist my blind dog. Dachshunds are the BEST!! ❤️❤️

I love my Dachshund! I rescued her in 2014 and she is now 10 1/2 yrs. old. She has such a unique, silly personality. She loves to cuddle, sleep in the bed with me, and follow me room to room. I love this pup with all of my heart!

Beautiful and useful video. I think, Dachshunds are one of the best dog breeds in every way. Beautiful, sweet, smart, playful, funny, loyal, ... They are ideal company for every human being ♥️

My little guy lived for 18 years. Very difficult personality for sure but a loyal friend for life. If you just do everything she said, plus lots of love, they tend to be very low maintenance dogs. We miss him daily.

[@davisharris139]

Mine lived 16 1/2 years and he got lots of walks daily. He did hurt his back years ago and had major back surgery but didn’t stop him from being very active. Great dog and breed. This will be the first Christmas without him. He was funny and had lots of character

[@rileyhalls9301]

​@@davisharris139 so sorry that he hurt his back m would you mind relating how he hurt his back?

[@davisharris139]

@@rileyhalls9301 Fell off sofa years ago. How to have spinal surgery which helped him put the last couple years. He was acting strangely probably some mental issues he was having but he lived a long, long life, 16 1/2 years. Was a good dog a great character and personality traits. I recommend this breed to anyone and everyone. Main thing is you gotta protect them because your back is very sensitive so if you have like a ramp next to your sofa or bed, that’s preferable, and if you have stairs, try to carry up or down just to protect them, but a good dog I love attention and affection

[@fredford7642]

I have had the wonderful pleasure of having a standard female dachshund for thirteen+ years. She was so devoted to me it was amazing. Sadly she passed away this passed July. I miss her very much. I am up in years and doubt I will ever have such a friend again. It is difficult to write this message. It is true and honest. I wish everyone could have a friend like Lolly. She will be remembered for the rest of my days. Thank you for a very good video

[@hairybelly9910]

I feel the same way with my dachshund as he gets older. I’m going to go into a spiral once he passes. But one thing is, even if you can’t replace your dachshund with an exact, you’ll likely run into an equally original personality with another dachshund. I thought there was no way others have as awesome of a dachshund as me but it seems to me now, almost everyone has an awesome dachshund. All slightly different in their personality but equal in their love for you.

I acquired my deaf dachshund back in 2009, she was about 9 months at that time and is now 14. Even at her age she still (in my opinion) acts like a puppy. I have taught her a couple signs; out, in, walk and she knows them all. Coco is the second dachshund I have been involved with, they are fabulous dogs.

I don’t have a dachshund but my client that I clean for does and he has stolen my heart. He can’t wait for me to come play with him! I believe that he thinks I’m coming there just for him. And he’s a stinker ! Steals all my rags, shoes, my lunch ( I think he thinks I brought the lunch for him) but I can tell he is very very smart and he’s thinking all the time.The room I iron in has a bed right next to the board which he lays and watches me iron ( soooo cute, who watches somebody iron clothes) but then he has to come on my iron board and lay there and give kisses and wash his tail like crazy. I think he’s telling me to take a break and go play outside with him! He’s also very very fast!!!! No joke but he’s faster than a speeding bullet!!!

I have a Dachshund who is 10 years old. She is a former breeder that I was lucky to get when she was 8. She is bossy, loving, and a joy. She is easy to train. I also trained her to go to the potty in her own “bathroom “. It is a small see through tent. She doesn’t have to go out in rain, snow and I don’t have to clean the yard. ❤

[@ilpdpdrf]

My mini dachshund surprisingly only eats when he’s hungry. I did not train him to do that, he did that from day one when I brought him home. I was worried at first that that he wasn’t eating enough before I went to work cause I would barely give him any (as to not feed him too much) and he sometimes still would bot eat it all. And now, I just leave his bowl full and he goes to it and eats when he wants. I usually refill his bowl every two days because that’s when he empties it completely. He’s also not overweight. He weighs just alittle over 12 lbs and is complimented by the vet each visit 🥰

[@hairybelly9910]

Ugh. I just remember getting a dachshund from a friend right out of high school. I lived with my grandparents at the time, I told my Gpa to meet me at the baseball field so we can hit some baseballs. I had my little dachshund (cooper) sitting on the bucket of baseballs. He spotted him and was SOOO mad but after a few weeks, months and years he became the love of his life lol. Now I moved away and live pretty far away, I have cooper with me and I’m pretty sure he loves Cooper the most in the family. Always asking about him and his health always asking for pictures. Lol dachshunds sure do have a special way with you. So much love and personality.

[@susanripley1794]

My little baby girl Phoebe lived for seventeen years. She gave us so much happiness and had more friends in the town of Paris than we did. She was invited into stores and offices all the time. Important is training when they are young. They are a very intelligent breed for sure. Phoebe lived a charmed life and it was a shock to lose her even though she lived a good long life. I like to think that she's playing somewhere right now with her kid friends. I'll never forget you PuppyGirl.

[@eileenklinghagen3087]

I have a blue dapple 12 year old female and she's a wonderful companion. She is boss over my other fourlegged, and the smallest, as her older sisters are Labs. She needs help getting up stairs and off furniture even though she has portable stairs available. Doxies are a lovely breed and their attitudes only add to their character. She's the best mouser I've ever had and I've lost track of her hunting trophy. Star is my heart and I feel privileged sharing home with her.

[@lordjesus4245]

Get ramps not steps there hard on their backs.

[@LittleBirdPathfinder]

It started when I fell in love with a friend's dachshund. I was on quick lunch break at the hospital I was working at. In the newspaper it had an ad for dachshunds. I called and arranged to see the pups. There were two left. One was long haired and one was short. I wanted short so that was that. Heidi Red Desert Lady had her only three pups when she was 10. She lived two more years after their birth. Her three lasses developed into great personalities. We also had the Daddy. It has been phenomenal having the four of them! Hunter turned one year old just a day before they were born! Then, we ended up with two more from another source. I wouldn't trade them for anything even though each has their very distinct "Doxie" personality. Those who are owned by Doxies will understand exactly what is meant by that. I should write a book and feature them and all the FUN they have been for us. They own us and the house. They allow us to live in THEIR home. I do believe they have us essentially trained as they would like us to be. Then again, they keep a close eye on us and keep working at furthering ownership of us.

[@rosannafrith]

I started dating my partner nearly 3 years ago, with her came her rescue dachshund from Lithuania. This dog is the one of the most challenging dogs I’ve come across, bare in mind a lot of problems due to her tough start to life. She came into my partners life at 1 year old and had never been walked and already had a litter. She is incredibly stubborn but incredibly intelligent. As a dog trainer she is my biggest and most rewarding client. She can be reactive but generally very good with dogs of a similar size. Biggest problem is separation anxiety. We have a routine where she spends some time by herself each day. She’s nearly 5 now. We still can’t leave her alone without her barking and howling non stop. It’s avoided unless absolutely necessary. She is an absolutely hilarious dog, extremely vocal, does a lot of “screaming” rather than barking. I always advise people to do their research and work on independence with any breed but with a dachshund if you don’t want a vocal dog start straight away! All in all, she’s my best friend, partner in crime and I love her❤

[@texasgal2794]

I adopted a full bred Dachshund about 12 years ago. She was found wandering on the streets and she was about 2 1/2 years old at the time. We had always had big dogs...Saint Bernards. I love this dachshund sooo much that it will kill me when she is gone! She is so sweet! These are great pets!

Good information, with the exception that deworming absolutely, depends on what parasites are in your area, and a fecal test is important so that you are not giving unnecessary medications. Also, the breed is pronounced phonetically Docks - hoondt

They are my best friends and I love each one so much. I have had so many doxies my whole life ever since a child who was a standard-size red smooth coat that followed me all over the neighborhood. His name was Wiener Snitchel Watson. since Weiner we had a mini smooth red named Heidi and her daughter Gretchen black smooth coat and Gretchen was diabetic and I gave her insulin shots every day, after Heidi and Gretchen came muffin (german name: Klien Bruchen von Watson) After Muffin I got Schnapps and Opie Schnapps was a smooth red and Opie was a smooth black and tan. He only weighed 4 pounds and was my little man my lover boy, After Schnapps I got Molly then Sugars and last but not least Doodles. They are the love of my life always wanting to sit on me on the couch and cuddle. They will sit on the back of my couch looking out the window watching everything that moves and barking at it, They are so loving and caring and a handful as we now have a huge fenced-in back yard and a doggie door so they can go out whenever they want. They chase birds butterflies squirrels and chipmunks and rabbits. They are very much hunting dogs but rarely catch anything,

The last one I had I took for a walk once after we got her. She walked about 50 yards and refused to move. After that every time I got a leash out she would flatten out wherever she was and refuse to move. It got to be so funny we used it as a parlor trick when we had visitors.

She is simply awesome and keeps me on my toes and my other oldeechihuahua/Pug mixed dog too. I hear they are goid for hiking.

Dachshund is from the German, "Dachs" /Dox/ meaning "badger" and Hund /hoont/ meaning "hound". So the correct pronunciation is "Dox-hoont".

One thing to do if you want to keep him healthy for a long time is to brush his teeth every night at bedtime. They have such deep jowls that food stays there too long, causing tartar, cavities, and receding gums ! 😉

My first one was a rescue and having large breed dogs at home and then adding this little one what is the most comical life experience we had. They have amazing personalities. Sadly he passed away and we decided to go with three puppies. What can I say my puppy ovaries were crying. What a life experience it’s been. The only thing I don’t like is because I have two males and one female, the two boys have not been able to be spayed yet and now they are marking around my house. It’s due to a medical addition with their livers. The female was done on time. Now my poor boys have to wear diapers but they are adjusting well. If you want a dog that will keep you on your toes and make you laugh and laugh and laugh and give you the best cuddles, this is the dog for you. And make no mistake, they will guard your house. Try going through a rescue, there are many looking for homes. I work in rescue and my first wiener dog was a foster failure. I couldn’t let the little guy go. And the best thing about little dogs is when they’re being stubborn you can just pick them up. Can’t do that with a Rottweiler

[@Caprica-od6oc]

My two boys were my life. Got them from a rescue organization. Lex came to us in April 24 and Bullet in October 24 of the same year. Lex died at 14 and bullet at 18.

My dachshund is very stubborn and smart. He loves to chat with me. He sounds like Scooby Doo. He's my little best friend 🐾 🥰

[@dontlook8748]

I miss my dachshund so much, she was with me for 9 years and was my best friend. I hope I will see her again, in heaven.

[@almaguerra9371]

My dog 🐶 is so so stubborn 😅She’s a mix, Dachshund and Labrador… She’s chocolate 🍫 color, she has green eyes . Her body is dachshund and her face of a Labrador…

[@jeffreyhall2136]

Had our last Dachshund 15 1/2 years. We lost her 4 yrs ago and we still miss her terribily.

[@anthonymackie3634]

We love our Toby, best dog ever

[@pamlacovey4842]

I love dogs you just have to remember throwbacks are longer I can’t have certain thing chocolate you have to train them. That’s important.😊

[@hippiechick6061]

Hes stubborn, but he loves to play🎉❤❤❤❤

[@donnarandall3275]

I've owned Dachshunds most of my life. They are the only dog breed as far as I am concerned. They are loving, needy, stubborn and noisy (bark, bark, bark), but loyal to a fault. Love, love, love the long-bodies little creatures!

[@Beckyj1973]

Great information, we have had four dachshunds over my lifetime. Everyone of them fantastic additions to our family. The speaker here however should learn how to pronounce the word dachshund. It was annoying to constantly here it wrong.

[@virginiav.1172]

In England it is pronounced as in the video.

[@charlottemaxcey7391]

Yes I ❤ my Daisy!

[@madiclegg3690]

My dashweiler is half miniature dachshund and half rottweiler. She's a handful, but the best dog Iv ever owned

[@naughtseeingeye7767]

My doggo is a daxador-dachshund/ lab mix. Looks like a giant doxie. She can hang with 3-4 hour walks, depending on the weather

[@jasonwilliams3365]

Hey hey! I've got 2 Dashounds... Mango and Mailo... I am from Germany 😊

[@frxya2cool4u]

They may not seem like a lot, but the little rats (cute rats btw) need *A LOT* of attention, affection and exercise! It's a big job to take care of them and make sure they live a long and healthy life.

[@petert24turner71]

Mine hates water right from the start as a puppy, never ever have I have been able to change it. Possibly something happened before I bought her at about 12 weeks.

[@1PerinoC]

Our Doxie Butters loves his chew toys and me obviously 😂

[@AUBREY_722]

So I have a dachshund her name is Daisy may points First. Middle last She is 9 her birthday is December 24 so she’s about to turn 10 And like the video said They are very stubborn, They LOVE food, They are more capable then u think 🤔 , They have there own ways, They can tend to be very naughty, but they are a very good dog breed and I recommend to get one if you’re looking for a pet to have Btw my dog’s birthday is a week after mine and I’m also 9 turning 10 My birthday is December 17 and Daisys is December 24

[@lillianvanrooi5090]

Very playfull loveble

[@thedude2897]

Everyone always mentions their backs, but definitely watch for pancreatitis. Both of mine ended up with it and it's not always about fat either.

[@forestxander]

I have a 2yo, male, dachshund/pitbull. He's doing excellently, but a female litter mate developed this. She is on meds and a special diet, probably for life. Good thing she has such a loving owner.

[@scarlettrose2747]

Had a xcross with a mini foxie.,She was a ball of energy, had to take her 3 time's a week for a good long walk about 2miles.Sweetie pie live until she was almost 10years old, that was bad year for me i lost her +my beautiful long hair cat Princess, both with a few days of each other. They where so funny together, it was LOVE/HATE relationships one. 😁

[@joaniekoehnen3366]

It’s supposed to say WAGS his tail like crazy

[@kentmccoy592]

Also, please be careful with their front legs....they love to play fast and rough as puppies and can injure their front legs and cause deformity.

[@amandalee3001]

Very stubborn breed. Love my doxie but would never get another. I had to devote a lot of time and energy into her training. And even then she was still stubborn and could decide to be independent. She was potty trained and heeled when I took her on walks. But I feel like there are so many other dog breeds that are less stubborn and have all of the positive qualities of dachshunds as well

[@missey3164]

Our Hershey is a sweetheart long haired miniature 9 yrs. Old now. Full of life loves running and very jealous of her mom and dad lol.
