ALL ABOUT LIVING WITH DACHSHUNDS 

My dachshund is 9 pounds. She has the bark of a Doberman, the growl of a pit bull and the look....of a very small cow.

They may be small but they will take up majority of the bed.

You don't own a dachshund. They own you.

We’re owned by a dachshund, 12 years old and a grumpy, little old man. We live in his house, sleep in his bed and yes, we make trips to Chick-fil-a on Saturday for grilled nuggets. He’s our best friend, most fearless protector and loving companion. Thanks, Jolly for having us.

I have a Dachshund and she is such a loving dog. Love her so much in May she'll be 17 years old.

I had 5 dachshunds...one lived to be 18 years old...what a wonderful breed... very loyal dogs

I have a 21 y/o doxie who still barks at the mailman 🤣

I have 4!! They’re the snuggliest lil jerks you’ll ever share your life with!! Love’em.

My doxie is broke he just bird watches on the lawn and naps lol I love him so much

This is a sporting dog, and brave as hell. Smart, athletic, loyal and affectionate friends, fearless and relentless hunters. Despite their "silly" looks - make no mistake this is an animal built to perform. Great pets. RIP August, my first friend.

I have a dachshund (wired-haired), due to Breed-illnesses the local vet said he wouldn't be even get to 4 years but he is gonna be 10 years old this year, he really is a strong boy! 🎀I love him a lot🎀

My baby passed away two years ago from old age. His name was Toby and having him for fifteen years I know I want to have dachshunds for the rest of my life ❤️

Hands down the most loving dogs ever. I have two short haired dachshunds and my whole world revolves around them. They are so intelligent and spoiled, they literally sleep on two continental pillows above my head on the bed! They are Calm but can be playful. They are obedient when spoken to but can have a mind of their own. Love their personalities definitely one of God's greatest gifts to us. The love of Dogs.

I own a mini dachshund named Izzy. She is the sweetest dog and will cuddle with you for hours.

My little dachshund died a few years ago. I still miss him. My fearless little man.

My 1st was Schultz, lived 16 yrs, 2nd was Buddy, lived 18 yrs and now, Buddy Jr. @3yrs. Love them, most loyal, loving friends ever had.

I have two dachshunds and consider them my children. My fiance and I call them "our boys" or "the boys" whenever we're talking about them to anyone. We take them to doggy daycare while we go to work. They are our best friends

1:11 she choking the damn thing

I love my seven Dachshunds. When I recline the love seat they all get in my lap and sometimes sleep with me.

My boy is a 30lb dachshund/pitbull. He hates rain, but loves snow. He's more food driven than any other animal I've ever seen. He's the best snuggler I've ever met.

Six months ago, we rescued a 3 year old Dachshund. OMG-- she has turned our world upside down. Great personality!!! My favorite thing about her is when she burrows herself under blankets. She will even sit up under the blanket. The first time I saw that I burst out laughing.

It’s amazing how such a small dog can take up an entire bed. If you sleep with a doxie, you know exactly what I’m talking about.

My little dachshund lived for 18 years. He had very small health problems and died of being old. He had a total control of emotional and rational aspects of our lives. He was a manipulator but an unconditional lover. He hated to be alone and kept us around him most of his life, until his last day.

Just got my first dachshund two weeks ago! He’s 11 weeks. Still learning everyday about the breed, but he’s an angel(so far)

I learned about dachshunds when one found my porch after he was dumped. A handsome, young longhaired. Absolutely charming. I'm in awe of the way they're built so perfectly for the job they were bred for. In awe of a lot more than that, tho. So glad I have the privilege of loving my sweet, goofy Buddy.

I have a 26lbs standard dachshund with a bark of a doberman 🤣 always gets people by surprise

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.

Yesss finally!!! A video about dachshunds! I don’t like little dogs but dachshunds are so badass and have such a big dog personality, they are an exception. I really don’t like these show dachshunds tho, the really long snout and low to the ground long body is a no 👎🏽 working dachshunds are better! I own one ;)

I can just say one thing.., THEY ARE NOISY 😂

I'm getting my first Doxie in a week and I'm so excited!!

For the moment i have 12 dashhound father,mother and 10 puppy's and they are great dogs love them!

To my dog, Archie you will live forever in my heart and once you perish you will meet Tyler and will become friends so to Archie I love you

My daughter really wants a miniature one, So I'm now learning all I can about them before I get one, this has been very educational for me, thank you x

A house is not a home without a Dachshund. Love your video.

I just adopted a 1 year old Dachshund today and I am overwhelmed with the comments!! Wish me luck!!!

Thank you :) I love Dachshunds, i just got my first today. Her name is Rosie.

3:50 her front feet... I can’t

I adopted a short hair from the shelter about a year and a half ago. He is the most affectionate fun dog ever. And he loves to go on hikes and explore the woods.

RIP hector. He was my sister's dachshunds and lived for (what my family believes) to be over 15 years. She passed away and we had a piece of her with hector. I know her and hecky are happy together now.

Wspaniałe psy. Pierwszy jamnik , którego przygarnęłam żył ze mną 17 lat. Bardzo go kochałam. Obecnie mam kolejnego szorstkowłosego też przygarniętego ma ok 2 lat i jest wspaniały 🥰. To są bardzo inteligentne, lojalne i ruchliwe psy. Spacery z nimi to przygoda. Bardzo się przywiązują i kochają ❤️

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.

We live in rural Alabama, we have 3 smooth haired dachshunds. Our whole yard is fenced so they can roam within the fence, when we let them out. They are house dogs but do love being nosey and will pilfer all over the yard. We also have a Doberman and when we turn him out of his kennel the Dachshunds are inside as they terrorize him any chance they get. When we are home our 3 are free to roam the house but when we are at work, they are crated for their safety and the safety of the house.

My husband and I have two rescued dachshunds (7 years black and tan, and 4 years old black and tan), and they are absolutely amazing. Although super mischievous, they are supremely loyal and constant companions. The 4 year old is 24 lbs and was trained as a support and therapy animal prior to us adopting him. Incredible dogs!!

We love our minnie: Honey. She is so cuddly, mischievous, playful, brave, and fun. She plays with her toys every day. We do always worry about her back.

My grandma has a miniature dachshund, and she is the cutest thing I've ever seen. She's so full of personality and has a sweet, stubborn attitude. I love her, and I have my heart set on adopting a little dachshund myself.

I love my Barney. He's a black and tan 14 lb guy who is semi-long haired (his mom was long haired, and his dad was a smooth-haired). So loving, and yes, wants to be with you and be held and play 24/7. Stubborn and food-greedy too... I can't imagine my life without him.

I have 4 month old smooth Daschund. She is so full of life an energy at times we lag behind, she keeps my 11 year old son on his toes all the time. We have named her selfie. She is very possessive about her things like bed, eating bowl, bone, toys etc. She makes our family complete

my dachshund has been my best friend since the day we brought him home. He has so much love in his little body but he’s also a loud mouth! He is a big ball of cuddles too

My favorite breed. I absolutely love Dauchunds. As boy living in New York we would often drive up to Massachusetts to visit our Grandparents who had a Dauchund named Fritz. This was in the mid '60s.

I have a 10 yr old miniature long hair dachshund, his name is Star, he's mostly chestnut brown but the tips of his ears, his spine and tip of his tail are black. He is mighty, very territorial, a big cuddler and incredibly loyal. Although I got him for the entire family he has specific devotion to my mom, he's her right hand man. She's constantly asking him for privacy lol but he refuses to leave her side. Daschund's are special dogs, we are lucky to have him.

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.

I have a rescue dachshund and she’s the sweetest little thing! She loves everybody and she gets along with most dogs. First time we took her to the vet he said he was amazed with how sweet she was & how she’d let him do anything 🤣 ♥️

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.

I have a beagle/dachshund mix. Her legs are in proportion with her body. She is sooo loving and quiet. Playful but after playing she just wants to cuddle and sleep. And really food motivated. She also has a lovely poised little trot. It’s so cute!!

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.

I have 2 sisters, minis, and they were born April 2019. They’ve been so much fun ! I take them 2 days a week to daycare for socialization! They are training very well. I couldn’t be more pleased 🥰

I have a 12 year mini dachshund and he is the light of my life! ❤️

Great video, thanks. My 8# mini doxie requires retraining every winter - even @ 8yrs old, hates rain & snow (even though entire life in Montana), will deploy every deception in order to avoid doing business outside when weather turns...battle of wills :)

Dachshunds are great dogs. They are sweet and have a good nature. They are little clowns, but yes, they will never back down and think they are the toughest dog in the room. Their intelligence makes them easy to train, but they do have BIG personalities. They are loving and good with children. They dig as puppies, they can dig a huge hole as they use all 4 paws at the same time.

I’m getting my Miniature Dachshund in a month because he needs to grow up since he has been recently born! I absolutely adore him and am super excited! Congrats everyone on ur puppers!! ☆

I never seen spotted dachunds before... interesting. Loved that brown and white one. Even though I'm a bigger dog person, I've been to those races and those are hilarious. Thanks👍☮️!

I love these kinds of dogs

I have a miniature dachshund.. she just turned 2 years old... she is my everything.. I love her.. so much

ive been calling them “dash hound” forever😔😬😬

Although very laid back and not as polished, this is one of the most informative dog breed videos I’ve seen. Thanks!

Wonderful breed. They are the neighborhood ambassadors. And my 2 smooth coat reds own me, and have trained me super well!

So glad this teaches cardinal RULES for caring for dachshunds, as I have for 63 years: Never pick them up by the front half alone because of their long backs; always build little ramps for your bed and sofa, if they're welcome, for their long backs cannot stand repeated jumping and falls can be paralyzing. ONE MORE RULE for the same reasons: NEVER LET YOUR DOXIE GET FAT, which is tough with those milky eyes, I know, but extra weight in the middle of their back is NOT what they need. Just make it healthy and yummy and watch them thrive!

My neighbor has two mini ones and they are the sweetest little guys. They bark a lot but they are really sweet.

I have a Dachshund,and he owns half of my heart,i love him❤ Dachshunds are playful,funny,cute,lovely and full of energy! They Will Always be with you,when You are sad or happy. It Will be your best friend💖 They are BEST breed of dogs💗

Their little walks 🥺

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.

Hell yeah! Another new Dogumentary video and Weiner dogs !

My dachshund is 11 this year, he was my first dog and is a great dog. Compared to other dogs they are extremely loyal and have a very independent personality, they love there owners and would do anything for them. There personality are different to other dogs in a very good way. There are no other dogs like them that I've seen.

That little red is a thoroughbred ! Lean and crips outline! Like my boy “the Doctor” - RIP my boy, we miss you

Loyal, affectionate, curious, adventurous, territorial, alert, brave, occasionally stoic, proud, comical bordering on hilarious, an appetite that rivals a Grizzly Bear .. The best little pal a person could ask for

“Dacksoond”?? “Dash hounds”?? Dacksands”?? “Dogshound?? *”noodlehund👍”

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.

My aunt has a chubby red short-haired Dachshund. He's 18 years old.

We have a 6-year old mixed dachshund/spitz. He is grumpy to other dogs but tends to be affectionate to them in his own way as time goes by. He is very affectionate to us and very intelligent.

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 😒

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

Lost my little girl in March she was going to be 16. She was a beautiful creature very loving. Stubborn and in charge. RIP

Hi on the spine issue iv breed a dashound with a English staffy.i feel in love with the dashound instantly. The day I come home found my mate paralysed it broke my heart .he did live few more yrs with wheels..I could not come to get another cuz of the high % of back injury..few yrs later I rescured a staffy pup to me thay were so alike in every way but the body shape..how it had all the strengths a no weekness of the hound.by accident it breed with a friends hound a litter of 3 brindel odd lil dogs .thay r everything we love about dashound persanilty but just more loco. Lol all ways people ask what is that.i say proudly dashound x staffy .very popular specily with kids and guys who like stocky muscle dogs ..Just thought ild share as I enjoyed this channel. Think it's a human made breed and we need to perfect what thay started all those yrs agp ..

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

I have a miniature dachshund, I think the miniatures are more cute 😂 Boy are they fast doggies and although they’re small, they think they’re big Rottweilers

Great information

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!

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

Ah..Nice. A Daschumentary I can relate to. 😊🌭🐾🐾

Just had to say goodbye to my 9 year old dachshund, Fritz. He is the third dachshund I’ve had to say goodbye to, and by far, they are some of the most loyal and loving dogs I have ever had in my life. My poor Fritz suffered from spinal injuries, which resulted in him being unable to walk or express his bladder on his own. Even so, he managed to live quite happily for 3 years using a wheelchair and a drag bag to maneuver around before we had to put him down due to his health rapidly deteriorating these last few months. Our vet believes this was caused by the depression he experienced after our female dachshund, Riley, passed away last year. Part of me doesn’t want any other dog besides a dachshund, because I don’t think any other dog could ever love me the way my dachshunds have loved me.

Thank you so much for making a dachshund video!

My family owns a dacshund & setter mix. She's a little bit bigger than the normal size. She's just so cute ♥️

Great upload, thanks!!

Follow you and never a free lap!! Love them to pieces

They're the boss in your own home.. 😂😂😂

Nice. Would love to see a second part. Touching more on the hunting side of the dachshund. These 3 ppl are good owners but they arent letting thoss doxies do what they truly love

this is such a wholesome video and I love it

I have a re-Rescue Dachshund-Lab mix. Yeah. That’s something Mother Nature in her humor and awesomeness made. I rescued him but he really just knew I needed him. He’s head of security and cuddles around here. Loves to patrol the yard (I have an acre) and I used to have a vole (underground rodent that causes a lot of destruction). Used to. He’s soooo happy when he’s “working”. He goes thru the dog door every hour or so and patrols along the fence line. Prances practically. So happy. He does love to hunt though. That’s his favorite and I think all the rodents in the area packed up and moved. Even the squirrels run up a trees and give a predator alert cry when they see him “On patrol”. I absolutely adore him. He’s so funny and he’s my constant buddy. His only weakness is loud sounds. Even people fighting with loud voices. He hides or runs away. How will I ever find a Dachshund- Lab mix again? I hope I never have to find out.

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!!!

Every dachshund owner I’ve ever asked says, “yes, they pee on the carpet.” Ours does too so we haven’t had carper for years.
