Top Dog Facts About the DACHSHUND
The Dachshund is a low-legged breed of dogs, originally from Germany. Short-legged hunting dogs have been used for hundreds of years, but there are conflicting opinions on when the specific breeding of Dachshunds began. Woodcuts from 16th century Europe and written accounts from the 18th century show that dogs similar to the modern Dachshund, combining the best qualities of hounds and terriers, were used commonly to hunt small animals. The dogs would follow the animal to its quarry, enter the burrow and kill it. Different physical features were deliberately bred into different bloodlines, to suit the prey and hunting conditions. Among the different varieties of Dachshunds, the short-haired is the oldest, giving rise later to the long-haired and wire-haired ones. Apart from the standard size Dachshunds, miniature Dachshunds were also developed to hunt smaller prey, such as rabbits. Though cross-breeding was discouraged even in the early stages of the breed’s development, by the time the different varieties reached refinement in the very early 1900s, cross breeding between varieties had been stopped almost completely.
Time for some Ruff Trivia:
- The first Olympic mascot was a Dachshund called Waldie. For which edition of the Summer Olympics was Waldie chosen as a mascot?
o A: 1960, Rome
o B: 1972, Munich
o C: 1984, Los Angeles
What do you think, give it your best guess in the comments below before we get to the answer! Hang on tight and we’ll get back to this Ruff Trivia Question toward the end of the video.
The standard Dachshund adult has a height of 8 to 9 inches and weight of 11 to 32 pounds. The miniature adult has a height of 5 to 6 inches and weight of 1 to 11 pounds. It is typically long-bodied and stubby-legged. Front paws are paddle-shaped for digging. Skin is slightly loose, chest is deep and snout is long. Lung capacity is high for subterranean pursuit. The three varieties - short-haired, long-haired and wire-haired - have coat as described by their names. Colors seen have a wide range, but the common ones are black, blue, chocolate, fawn, red, cream and combination of some of these.
Grooming: While the long-haired Dachshunds do require extra care to prevent matting or retention of foreign matter, the frequency of brushing does not depend only on the hair length. Dogs with shorter hair can also be frequent shedders, and owners should adjust brushing accordingly. Nail trimming, ear cleaning and teeth brushing need to be regular.
Environment: A Dachshund is typically friendly and curious by nature. It lives up to its hunting ancestry through its eagerness to pursue animals, chase balls or go off on exploration trips in the lawn. It is generally tolerant of young children, but can get easily irritable around precocious kids. It takes time to get comfortable around new people, and is good as a watchdog. It craves family attention, and can get whiny and depressed if left alone.
Training: A Dachshund is a clever dog, but its stubborn nature can make training it a tough task. The dog can be difficult to housebreak, and requires patience. It is generally a highly energetic dog, and requires a moderate walk or a good game of fetch. Being short-legged, it can also get a reasonable amount of exercise indoors if it is living in a large house.
Health: The life expectancy of a Dachshund is 12 to 14 years. Its back is relatively weak, and intervertebral disc disease is a major problem seen in the breed. Bone related problems - both inherited and developed through injuries - are common. Some other ailments seen are epilepsy, allergies, cataract, retinal atrophy, glaucoma, deafness and diabetes. Diet control is essential as the breed is prone to obesity.
Developed originally to hunt small animals, the Dachshund today is one of the most suited companions for dog lovers living in the city. These small-sized, playful dogs are absolutely easy to take care of, and what’s more - they come in so many varieties, you are sure to find one that matches your tastes!

I love dacshies
Affectionate loyal lovable
My dachshund has a queen size bed and he’s so kind and adorable that he allows me to sleep beside him every night.
How does he get on the bed? Mine can't get up stairs 😯
😂😂
Relatable
As a dachshundowner I relate to this very much. My boy is also very generous to let me sleep with him and share his blanket.
Me too!! So glad that im not the only one
I love my red Dachshund ❤ 🐾
the song in the background 😆😂
Dude lemme tell u something about my old dog. Laddie (my former doxie) would tear up any toy ever. So this one time at Target I bought a hard plastic bone. Because it said "Indestructible. Dog will not destroy." So I'm like ok, bet. So we get home, I open the bone and throw it in the room and walk off to go upstairs before I let the dog out. I mean it wasn't 10 minutes and that bone was in 50 pieces. I was like WHAT!? I had to call Mom in there. Crazy dude. He tore the shit out of that thing.
We had a miniature Dachshund named Dottie who lived to be 14. She was the most adorable thing EVER. Even though she's been gone 8 years, I still think of her almost every day.

We had a dacshund named mischief.
He was adorable .
mango_ariyyy u should call the cops on your step dad
mango_ariyyy why don’t you take it back?
My long haired mini was named Mira, black & tan. She nearly made it to 13, almost three years gone, miss her so much.
Put on a shirt braaah
I just picked one up to keep me company driving a semi. She is unbelievably the sweetest dog I have ever been around. I think they are my new favorite breed. She is awesome.
I just rescued mine, she’s the first one I’ve ever had of this breed. I’m in love with her she’s so very sweet to strangers and kids. She wants to play ALL the time and is very goofy.
My long haired dachshund Eddie was my best friend in the whole world. I miss him every single day
i am so sorry
I have a 9 year old miniature dachshund named Daisy, she is super sweet and cuddly. She could sometimes be not-so-friendly around strangers but will never attack. I highly recommend a dachshund to anyone looking for a cute,cuddly lazy companion!
My Charlie was the love of my life! Miss him always!
Talk about loyal! My sweet girl was totally devoted to me. I had her from the time she was @5 years old until she died at age 16. She would lie on my bed every night that I was on the computer and was perfectly happy to wait for us to settle down for sleep- but if I answered the phone and was talking with someone other than her, she started fussing at me, lol.
We went through SOOOOOOO much together: when I first got her, she started going into seizures within a day or two and I was afraid she had been poisoned. No, she had a bad case of heart worms when I got her- so we dealt with that. Years later, she had a stroke and could not even stand up.... I was a wreck. But my sweet girl was a fighter and in time she was herself again. Then a few months before she died, she had another stroke. She managed to bounce back from that one too.
When her time was about up and I had to decide whether or not to have her put to sleep. As she seemed comfortable and not in pain, I opted for just letting nature run its course so as to have as much time as possible- as long as she seemed happy and not hurting. The day she died, I HAD to go to work and it about broke my heart to have to leave her. I had a friend stay with her that day, so she at least would not be alone.
My girl had stopped eating a few days before and then stopped even drinking water. I could smell the ammonia on her breath, so it was clear to me that her organs were shutting down and that at her age, there was nothing a vet could do. I just kept loving her and telling her she was a pretty girl. I called home to check on her several times during her last day. I was told she had not gotten up or moved in any way, other than to occasionally lift her head to see if I was home yet.
When I got home, she was still alive. I rubbed her head and made a place for her on my bed, as she did not seem to want to be held close. I rubbed her tummy, like we had done every day for 11 years, when she would streeettttcccchhh and do the ballerina toes, little tail wagging so fast it seemed like the wings of a humming bird to me. She managed 3 whumps of her tail this last time.
I told her Daddy loved her- that Daddy would ALWAYS love her, but that it was OK for her to go ahead and do what she had to do. I moved over to my desk and made sure the light was not glaring in her eyes as she closed them for the last time. Within 20 minutes, she was gone. My girl had used every ounce of strength she had left to wait for me to get back home and say goodbye.
Damn- even typing this out, I am in tears while re-living the memory and it has been 3 years since I lost my girl. I've had 7 dogs in my life ( several at the save time for most of the last 20 years, so they could keep each other company on days I could not be with them as much as others) and have loved every single one of them, but this spunky little girl claimed me as her own to a degree none of the others have done.
I remember once when I was going on a trip for a few days ( scheduled my best friend to move to my house for the days I was to be gone) and had to run down to the car to get something, I walked back into the house to find my girl standing in the middle of my suitcase, as though she were packing herself to go with me. God I miss that beautiful little creature.
Thank you. Beautiful.
i am so sorry
Damn i got something in eyes😢
damn I had to stop reading 😢
Damn lived to 16 after all that? This give me hope my mine can live a few more years. He’s 12 rn and seems healthy, I want to atleast make it through high school before he goes. Was yours really lazy at 12? Because mine is very lazy but I wouldn’t say weak because he still jumps and runs and stuff, but he sleeps a lot lol.
Best breed ever; they are hysterical! Loving every minute with my little Ellie ❤️🐶
I have never been so close to any dog than I have with Oscar. He saved me from myself in my darkest time, we are a team and would die for each other. I sleep with my little buddy every night and he is more like a son than a pet. When we met, he was starving but I had no idea how much I was going to need him. Some angels trade their wings for big ears and arms for an extra pair of legs. Some guardian angels are less than two feet tall but stand as giants with more Love than humans are capable of.
Do they have problems with there backs.?
@@HarryA12 They can, especially when they get overweight or jump off high levels. I have a ramp at my bed so he won't jump off and I am putting him on a diet. If a dachshund is taken care of, they will live longer than most dogs.
We are truly capable of loving and God taught and made us to. I feel He uses His furbabies, like dogs and cats to remind us what unconditional true love is.
Jesus Loves you. He came and did it all for you. We are glad you are here
Interesting
Dacchshunds are the cutest dogs

1 week of crate training and our little girl was housebroken completely. No accidents in almost 3 months now and she’s 6 months old! Must be dependent on the personality ❤️
I have a dachshund mix he's soooooo sweet
Best advice I've gotten was to get a doggie door!! Dachshund can be hard to house break. I could only leave him alone for 3 hours. I'm sure he loves his doggie door too👍
I rescued a abandoned female dachshund. She is the meanest, most stubborn dog I ever had. A huge bitch. But I adore her 😂
I have a lot of dogs this one of the many dog's I have and they're all different breeds
And also he's a full bread so that cool

When I'm buying a dog I watch facts thanks for the facts
Fantastic! I hope his helps. My favorite are chocolate labs :)
My miniture lived to 17 had her since i was 5.
best breed I've ever had! I've got two of them, a black and tan female named Noel and a red and white male named Toby. they are highly protective of my children and my house and no pest has gotten past them. they are stubborn and a pain in the butt but I would trade a lab or a husky for these little guys.
Aww I wouldn't trade one dog. I'd keep them all 😃
My mini dachshund is the sweetest little girl. She’s playful, good with kids, and potty training was a breeze. I know I picked the perfect breed. ❤️ Coco ❤️
My sausage dog is the devil incarnate. She is always looking for trouble, but l love her still. 🤣😂
We have mixed i agree with not breeding unless dachs though♡ #WeensRnicerThanU
My dachshund is named princess I’ve had her for about 10 yrs she is lazy and enjoys bike rides with me she’s one tuff cookie too when we got her a man who only wanted tan long haired ones had her (she’s black and short haired) he was gonna throw her in the dump, she was so tiny I was like 6 and now I’m 13 you could say we grew up together but still going❤️ I love her with all my heart she’s so sweet whenever I’m sick or sad she comes over and lays with me. We have that special bond so special when I’m at school Ik when I come to be ready to go grab a towel cause when I come to the door she pees everywhere bc she’s so happy😂 but I love her soooo much
Great video. I'm loving my first dachshund, 4 years now.
Mark and Girlygamer I am a new pet owner and I have a dachshund he is 1 year old and I am so glad he's the one I got I love my dachshund so much! XD
Was it easy to train? Can he does tricks?
Mark Nelson i gotta 3yo and and a 7yo
Mark Nelson Just got our first dachshund a month ago. Wow. She is so smart! And so so very stubborn. If you feed my other dogs something different from what she has she will not stand for it. I call her my cobra dog because her ears look like a hood and she will LAUNCH herself at anything. She is an absolute joy and I am so glad we have her.❤️💕🐾
Mark Nelson give it love while you can. Mine is almost 12 and he is very old and I’m trying to show it as much love as I can before he passes. Hopefully he lives a few more years but he has a bad back and bad teeth:(
i lost my dachund a few months ago she was an amazing do very loving loved to cuddle and barked when she wanted something this breed is amazing
How long did she live? Mine is 12, just trying to see how much longer he has😢
We are getting a long hair red doxie on June 8 btw she is a mini I AM SO EXCITED
1972 German
"It can get whiney and deppresed when left alone" just like me!
Mine is a crier too! , if i leave her in the house, just to run and get mail, really hard to leave she cries and it's loud, has to be with ya at all times..
Tragic
Word
The dachshund are so interesting
We have a Standard Piebald named Pepper and a Chiweenie named Wingnut. Best dogs I've ever had.
A Chiweenie? Dachs and Chihuahua, am I right?
"Can get whiny and depressed if left alone" That was our dachshund alright.. lol
The second we brought her on the couch it was instant cleaning of our faces.
And those tongue in your nostrils! Never let a Doxie lick your nose unless your boogers are UNloaded
I have. White, long-haired, mini dauchound named Bailey. She's pretty sweet. I think they are my favorite breed
I just like dogs
Munich

I very much enjoyed your videoI have been blessed wwith two so far and have absolutly fallen in love with this breed. I have a 7 month old now but did have a 10 year old that was stolen from me. My new little angel I will be breeding once and hope to keep one of her pups. They are the best dogs ever I think. I have had other breeds and I am totally sold on this breed for the rest of my life. Thank you again and I hope to watch many more of your videos.
By any chance when you Breed the sweet 💓, will they let be bought here in Missoula Montana? My name is Samantha & my # is (406) 214+1764. Hope to hear from you....
Dachshunds also are ninjas at stealing your food.
haha yup. Frodo stole a peanut yesterday
smokestrong1000 yep
truere
Exactly one time mine stole two of my pizzas and took of running fast
Yap
I had a dachshund her name was Bella she died I was so sad
My mini-dachshund wants nothing more than to cuddle me, but she also lost her new harness in a badger hole this summer. She has attacked 3 badgers and scared them away every time. crazy bitch lol
Ours is a Dapple. The only problem aside from the weight gain is the inherent fearlessness of the breed. Sydnee simply isn't afraid of larger aggressive breeds. We have to keep a close eye during walks.
6doublefive3two1 Frankie is my dapple. He is very shy. Sunshine on the other hand is our fearless mini. She goes after the neighbors German shepherd so we have to keep her in when the shepherd is out. 😂😂😂😂😂
yes, weight gain can be a problem. It was a hard choice for me to make, but I finally started measuring my girls food. When I added a new dog to the household that was more timid, I trained HER to expect dinner and breakfast on a little settee, to make it harder for my doxie to snarf up her food also.
If you have a snarfer ( like one that just inhales the food), might I suggest something that a friend found useful:
One of my girl's puppies ( she had several liters before I got her) ended up with a friend. When he put on some weight that was not good for his back especially, the friend also took to measuring his food- but felt terrible that it was eaten in literally a few seconds. In order to slow him down at least a little on eating so fast, I suggested not feeding him in a dog bowl but instead using a muffin pan... a little of the food in each cell, so he had to find his crunchies instead of just inhaling them all at once. For them at least, this has seemed helpful. He also has had an issue with dry skin, so adding a few drops of olive oil to each meal has greatly improved his skin and coat. By a FEW drops of olive oil, I mean that quite literally: over-doing the oil would be bad for his heart... and Olive oil, not Wesson or Crisco or whatever. The vet agrees this has been a good strategy where this fellow is concerned.
As for the other behavioral bits, it sounds like being attentive is about all you can do there, and you are doing that already
I know what you mean. My Velvet used to bark at big dogs until they chased her, then she would run straight to me and jump into my arms continuing to bark. We had some sticky situations.
Cushing's and pancreatitis are common in the breed. I have 2 and they really are the sweetest breed I've ever had. I will never get another dog after my 2 pass.
rescued my mini from a dog meat farm here in Korea. he had pneumonia, a bad skin infection, and terrible separation anxiety. oh, and the biggest balls on the planet. he is healthy and happy with my chihuahua and I now (and just got neutered lol).
RIP to his big balls lol
after 15 yrs my DACHSHUND passed away , so sad. Going to get next one . :/
What I've learned from this video is the correct pronunciation of dachshund
ATTENTION DACHSHUND LOVERS!

i have one,he has red/ brown eye brows :D
My dachshund lived to be about 15 years old and she was the queen of the house. We also had other bigger dogs Introduced years later and it was always wonderful to see a German sheppard lick and kiss all over his weenie dog mama.
I have a catahoula curr / dachshund they are determined ass bastards. we were going to make more catahoula curr's but i am grateful as yusuke is my best friend. he is huge for a dachshund 35lbs . lots of squirrels around and i know if i let him he would kill them with ease. at first i was trying to be in control once i left him take the lead i was amazed on how capable he is. plus catahoula currs think they can climb trees
I've had Catahoula's and a dacshund, never a mix between the two. I bet you have holes all over your yard lol.

B) 1972, Munich
Dachshunds haves, quite the lung capacity
Love to bark and are almost untrainable.
But fiercely loyal.
My short haired miniature Dachshund Heidi is my favorite dog I’ve ever had. It’s true that wiener dogs are stubborn she still shits and pisses in the house and she’s 5. She hates going outside unless it’s a rare occasion. About 75% of the day she’s under a blanket sleeping unless she knows it’s time for the mail man to come or for my siblings to get home from school. She barks at everything. She’s a huge brat but I love her to death. She hates our other little dog, she’s bigger than her but I’m not sure what breed she is. Her best friend is our oldest dog Daisy which is an 8 year old German Shepherd and they play all the time when she’s inside together.
I'm going Munich because the dog is German and Munich is the only German city listed.

Hello ruby
Please watch the video "My Dashchund Story: Dunkin Bond Amerine's Life" 🐕
👉 Here is the link:

Enjoy Watching! 💚
My Cooper passed away he would been 21 on Nov 24
My guess is B)Munich because they are of German origin.
We're quite possibly getting a dachshund next February. Imma need lots of help cuz I don't know a thing about these dogs
My daschund is scared of a bug, he starts trying to smash it with his paws and then jumping back, but whenever someone passes by the street he starts running circles around them and barking.

Dachshunde^
The questions answer in the beginning is B
Im looking to buy a dachshund for rabbit hunting 😁
I'm Adopting a Mini Dachshund Puppy at the end of September so I'm studying up
Gwynneth Thompson so... have you got one ? How it is?
Gwynneth Thompson omg same
Gwynneth Thompson where can u adapt a dachshund?
Gwynneth Thompson, I have 2 old Dachshunds. No training is harder than the potty training, so focus on that, first.
If and when(!) the time comes that pee pads come into place, there are now washable under-pads that one can use. Get the biggest one you can get afford.
I think B because Daschunds originate from Germany
Tamy
While reading the comment section... I'm just realizing that people are kind of flexing? I don't know heheh. But some of those comments are so cute ♡♡♡
So your telling me I have been saying "dashound" wrong?😂
I'm shook as well
The word is german and you may give it as much german flavor as you want. It helps to know what sounds the spelling codes for though. The-chs is an -x kind of sound. The bending of long vowels like -ou in hound is a very specific english thing. German words generally has cleaner wovel sounds, whether long or short. Both wovels in "Dachshund" are short, like in "rap" and "bun"
When a word ends in -d it cuts of short so it almost sounds like a -t.
So, "Daxhunt" wouldn't be too far off.
Germans usually use the diminutive form "Dackel" or "Teckel" for the breed though.
maybe
S A M E
Say it like Ducks-Hoond!
I have 3 dachshunds my babies I’ve had one 13 yrs and 2 10 yrs
