Dachshunds are awesome! I took mine to the dachshund races, it was hilarious! Dachshunds rule....everything. Teehee. They think so.

My mom used to go the the "weinernationals" when she was alive, every year here in Southern California. I'd imagine the races are still being held....

Wisconsin, USA here, the badger state. Never let a dog mess with a badger. They're like a wolverine in ferocity.

We lost our dear Daisy in December 2022, at the age of 14. She was a Mini that was larger than life! Princess Daisy was happiness personified. I’m miss her so much!

Do you really need a pure-breed dog? Shelters are full of loving mutts and you can save one from being euthanized.

Sarah Jane, I have a mini dachshund and sometimes he barks outside, or if he sees someone walking past our house when he's standing up on the porch. But he never barks inside! Barely makes a peep, except whining when he needs to go out.

Player #23904119, My mum used to breed Dachshunds when I was little. I remember she used to have to help the male sometimes so that he wouldn't put his back out while servicing the female...what a job! (not)😜

These dogs are great but suffer from back troubles because of their exaggerated low slung body. It is super important to keep them at an ideal weight to save them from a lot of pain, incontinence and paralysis.

I once learned that dachshunds, unlike other dogs, dig with all four legs. This enables them to remain level as they go after burrowed animals.
