I’ve found that Dachshunds are rarely accused of having small or light personalities.

Dachshund have strong personalities. One common trait, is stubbornness. It can be as adorable as it can be annoying. You just need to know what you’re getting into. :)

Dachshunds are incredibly charismatic! My sausage has such a booming personality. Every morning she wakes, she jumps on my neck and cuddles me for approximately seven minutes, before she jumps off the bed and tells me she has to pee. She’s the best. 10/10 would recommend to everyone.

When are they supposed to grow out of it? I have two 6 year old dogs that just never stopped being this cute and it hurts me every time I say no when they beg for my food, because they're master manipulators.
prettyfuckingdope t1_iqvaszr wrote
Ahh see that’s thing thing! They would have you believe they’re being honest with their cute eyeballs and their stumpy legs and their long schnoots, but it’s all a ruse so you can have that massive influx of dopamine causing you to feel amazing which also means you feed them every treat ever and then they keep being so darn cute and it’s a vicious cycle which ends in you caving to their every want and need until the end of time.
Again, 10/10 would recommend to everyone.

I have had dachshunds all throughout my childhood and my parents even have 2 more currently and I'm in my 30's. I'll get one or 2 after a while.
In my opinion they are the best freaking dogs. Sure they have their quirks like any breed but they are super lovable lap dogs. They love to lay around, they love to cuddle and are very low maintenence.

They are as loyal as they are feisty. My mom owned several in her life and they were amazing dogs.
One she got shortly before I had knee surgery that laid me up for weeks. This little pup would curl up on my chest and fall asleep. Epic bonding. When I eventually left for college, he slept in my room almost exclusively.

While typically the case, I can confirm there is at least one in existence. Ours was bullied by a Chihuahua when she was a young puppy, to the point where the people who got her initially had to give her up. My now wife brought her home to another doxy who was old and mostly blind, and all he did to teach her how to "dog" was dry hump her.
She's 12 now and thought being dry humped was the only way dogs played until we got a new Pomsky puppy a few weeks ago. Seeing our old doxy finally learn how to properly dog from a 12 week old puppy is amazing. But she's still a very timid and submissive little Doxy. The cat still holds a very strong hierarchy over her.

They might not be the biggest physically. But they sure are the most baddest motherfuckers I have trained as dogs. Smart, intelligent, feisty, brutal and will protect «their» person that they have chosen, with their life. In packs Dachshunds are a force to be reckoned with. Unstoppable power.

mine is a doxxie lab mix, but he does the same thing. hes only a pup, so he still has a smallish bladder. he sleeps under the blankets, but when its time to get up he does a quick quiet pace around the room, and if i dont get up he climbs on the top of the bed where my head is and just sniffs my ears cause the noise is annoying and it wakes me up. so then if i don't get up, and I roll over, he noses my back so I'll lift the covers for him and he can crawl back under for 20 minutes. but the second my hand touches him, its game on. there's no chance. its a solid 5 minutes of whole-body wiggle cuddles, then some play fighting, then we're off to pee and poop. He loves routine. he won't get in to bed until I've gotten in and tucked myself in, then rearranged the blankets. he knows the precise minute he gets his dinner. and after breakfast he waits patiently at the stairs for my brother's dog to wake up in 20 minutes or so.
love this little monster.

My dog KNEW he was cute and would turn it on if he thought he could get treats out of it. The ladies in the office of the old apartment would give treats so he would go into cute mode whenever a young to middle aged lady was nearby.
He would also go through his entire repertoire of tricks he learned when food was on the line, just like impatiently "ok here's sit, speak, roll over, lie down... just gimme the treat already! You got what you wanted!"

For your issue, i'm not above using a "Treat for time" trade off.

I am unsurprised. I groom dogs, and they are among the nastiest when they come in for nail trims. It's both hilarious (because they aren't always particularly mobile), and irritating (because if they can't bite you, they will not hesitate to rage poop/pee on you).

They were bred to crawl into a wounded badger's nest, drag it out, and murder it.
If you're going to fight a badger, you better be cocky. Nobody who has room in their skull for fear crawls into a badger's den after the thing, even humans dig them up with something pointy.

Exactly this.
Dachshunds are not a good beginner breed because they have the perfect combination of intelligence and stubbornness that makes them require a lot of attention and training to get under control. But once you know what you're doing they're excellent companions, extremely loyal and very friendly. My parents miniature dachshund is an absolute sweetheart, loves the family to death.

My little dox knows I hate face kisses and so he will lay across my mouth and rub his face all over my head and in my hair most of the time. He hates getting in trouble so he finds a way to do similar things that don't make me upset (no, I absolutely don't yell at him unless I have to. He just knows "no").
horntownbusy t1_iqwmsip wrote
My doxie... and hopefully we'll never need to use this in an emergency... starts to go insane at the smell of smoke of something burning in the house. He always beats the smoke alarm (something boiling over in the oven, etc) because he hates the smoke alarm. But he has learned why the smoke alarm goes off, so he starts barking and running around before it goes off which makes him more effective than it.

togocann49 t1_iqxmqsc wrote
To be fair, when my 16 pound doxie barks, it is a big dog bark. When we would hang on balcony at our old place (2nd floor), he would bark at someone on the ground, they’d often look up, see our guy, then continue to look for that dog that was barking. It’s only if he barks again, or we tell the people in question (so they can relax, there’s no Cujo on the loose) that it was him. He’s also weirded out other dogs with his bark, like other dog knows they are larger, stronger dog, but our guys bark makes them question who’s in charge here

We don’t say we have a guard dog, we say we have an alarm dog, cause if something is skulking about, their onto it, and letting everyone know about it as well. I had a friend, and with his dog barking at passerbys, he’d say thank you, and dog would look proud about it, and bark no more. With our guy in that situation, we tell him to stop, and he’ll always bark once more, while looking right at whomever told him that’s enough (like he’ll stop, but only on his terms)

Something like 1 in 4 get spinal issues as they get older. They are extremely prone to them because of their short legs and long backs, same with corgis although I don't know if the ratio is the same. They can slip a disk and paralyze themselves just from going down the stairs as they get older, thats how ours paralyzed himself at 11.
Running around, going up stairs, jumping onto couches, can all injure their spine because of the added strain.
Wouldn't recommend outside of rescueing one, but especially don't get one if you're not prepared for that potential.
IVDD occurs in 1/5th to 1/4th of them and can cause spinal issues as early as 3 years old.

You know it's crazy this is the only thread for any particular breed I've participated in and it sounds so discouraging to get a little wiener dog. I suppose there are other breeds that can be taxing on an owner but wow I didn't have a clue that dachshunds could be so demanding.
mudlark092 t1_iqydjc4 wrote
They're a cute and popularized breed, but with any dog that has a very... stylized? structure you're usually gonna run into health issues because of how they look. Whether it's a HUGE dog with lots of skin rolls or a tiny dog with a flat face.
At the end of the day, dogs still need homes! But if you're planning on owning one it's important to know what medical bills you might be paying and how it can effect their life style. Different behavioral and developmental risks should be looked into as well, I know dachshunds can run aggression risks if undersocialized and also might have more exercise and mental stimulation needs than people usually suspect. Ours was quite smart hahaha.
