- Welcome to Animal Digest (The Pros and Cons of Owning a Dachshund). The Dachshund is a dog breed that has some of the most unique personalities and physical features of any dog breed available today. Due to the breed's renowned physique: a long narrow back length, little legs, and a low posture, they have earned the nicknames "wiener dogs and sausage dogs". The dachshund was created by German breeders, and the name ‘Dachshund’ is of German origin which means ‘badger dog’. Dachshunds are loyal dogs that love to be with their owners and human family, but we know there are advantages and disadvantages to owning most pets, and unfortunately, the Dachshund is no exception. So, watch this video to learn about eight pros and eight cons to owning this breed. Also, watch to the end to learn about a major health risk that Dachshunds are prone to.

Yor are welcome and thanks for watching!
Just adopted a Dachshund Chihuahua mix about 6 months ago. I could not have ended up with a better companion. His name is Buddy and he definitely is one.

There are no CONS! If there were, I wouldn't have 4 of the little barbarians. Best dog ever!
I concur ❤
Yea
i agree im getting one soon in 2 months cant wait
@rldamjan8870 best dogs ever....HOWEVER don't let them jump up & down of the couch, bed, etc...they develop bad back problems
I LOVE them. ❤
All PROS, no CONS. Best dogs ever…
Thanks for watching!
It is a breed with an important malformation. The shape may look cute, but it is far from good for the dog's health.
Agree 100%
@@jmarcocaceres Yeah, they're prone to back trouble when they get older, and shouldn't jump up or down off the sofa, for example. They should be lifted. (Jan Griffiths).
No, there certainly are cons to owning a Dachshund.
We adopted an 11yo Dachshund. He belonged to a friend who divorced and couldn’t take him with her. Within about a week, he was my shadow. He loves our kids and my wife, but he sleeps with me, alongside my back. He is beside me 24/7 and I’m happy we have him and can give him a lot of love and luxury as a senior citizen. He’s super intelligent as well. I’m really going to miss my boy Zephyr when that time comes because he’s truly my best friend.
Thanks for that. About to adopt & was nearly put off. Your info has helped.
@@jillprice8507 Glad I helped. He’s the third dog we’ve adopted, we also have our resident horse and my display pic adopted.
Yep that's how it is my boy Rusty has been gone 2 years and I still miss him best dog ever. He
Was a true Doxie
You have 48 months...GO !!
Had a mini dachshund for 17 years, stole my heart and it broke my heart when we had to have him put down. He was all 16 traits but worth all those years. The good always outweighed the bad. Miss him dearly.
I am so sorry that you had to put down your Dachshund. Our pets do take a piece of our hearts when they leave for doggie heaven. Thanks for sharing!
I'm sure he had the best life with your care and love. He's still happy in dog heaven.
😪😪🐾💞
@@greencontroller9692 ft7th 3:28 😅😅😅😅😊😅😅😅😅😅
I always had dogs in my life but my 10 months old dachshund is more like my child than a pet,, he is the most engaging with the most personality and the most cuddle loving kissy giving little mischievous frog and squirrel hunting sweetie pie,, running down the dirt road like a bunny rabbit. I only had him since last May and I don’t know how I did this life without him in it, nothing brings these dachshunds down, everything is a exiting adventure to him and you can see him thinking he doesn’t give up until he did it!! And then he’s so proud and happy
This is so sweet, thanks for sharing!
Sounds just like my Jenny
😁❤️
Welcome to the world of dacshund lovers
No talking down on dachshunds . Best dogs ever ❤️
Thanks for watching!
Interesting about the negative aspects... I had one for 15 years from childhood to adulthood. And aside from some separation anxiety ( our neighbours said she would howl occasionally ) we never experienced any of the negatives.
From rough and tumble games as kids to sitting upright sedately leaning back on the rear car seat, one paw on the window ledge, sniffing the world go by. She had so much personality. I buried her when aged 21. Watching this video, I still miss that dog 40 years later. Time I got another one.
So, have you. ❤
My bud was alive for 15 years had him since I was a little kid best dog I ever had
We have a wirehaired 14 yr old. We adopted him from our neighbor who was diagnosed and eventually died of breast cancer. The best dog we’ve ever had.
What has most impressed me with this breed is their ability to hunt without training. Hunting rabbits and squirrels is effortless - if you present them with prey, their natural drive and energy has them after any prey they can adapt to. My Dachshund has become very clever in catching lizards around our SW Florida home. He has taught himself how to flush prey from plants, bushes and rat traps by nosing and kicking each items to flush out the reptiles and going after them quickly when he sees them bolt from their hiding spots. It's great fun to watch while he is actively engaged in full prey drive mode with his tail quickly wagging. Dachshunds are a very active and entertaining breed. And If you care for them, train them and protect their spinal health, you can enjoy them for many years.
I had a similar dog when I was a kid. His dad was a doxie, and his mom a Basset Hound. His prey drive and hunting ability was natural, and if he was on the trail of something, you couldn't distract him at all. (Jan Griffiths).
My Fritz always slept under the sheets by my feet, He used to help himself to my popcorn,right out of my bowl! If he saw me get towels and his shampoo, he knew it was bathtime and he would hide! I miss him so much! My doxie ( I must admit ), trained me not the other way around, He was throughly spoiled!
Ahh, thanks for sharing!
My aunt had a red doxie named Fritz. I was just a kid, and so was her daughter. We'd play with him for hours. He was a great dog. He got back trouble when he was about 14, and my aunt had him put to sleep. (Jan Griffiths).
@@douglasgriffiths3534 So sorry about your poor baby Fritz! My Fritz was 14 when he died and I still miss him! You can’t help but love them!
We just got a long haired mini Dachshund 9 weeks old. We named him Fritz too, he'll be spoiled rotten like the other 2 Mini Dachshunds we've had.
Yep a Doxie will steal your 🍿 , blankets, shoes or about ANYTHING. 🤣😂
You just gotta love a Dachshund.🌭🌭🌭
@@jim-xr7vd Welcome to Fritz von Daschund! Would love to see a picture of you, I bet that you are a very handsome boy!
I absolutely love my Darby. She's funny, adorable, and just so loving. Worth every little quirky thing she does.😂
They are nearly impossible to hold back with just your hands. They are so determined and will squirm and slip through if going after something. And they will.
My Waddles was the best Dauchshund ever. He was 17 years old and we had a tight bond. I miss him so much. Waddles was not a yappy dog and loved to cuddle.
I'm sorry to hear about Waddles. Our pets are our pride and joy, and it is never easy when they leave us. He is with you in spirit. Thanks for sharing!
I had a mini doxie for 15 years! She took a piece of my heart when she passed. I was the only one in the house she wouldn't let strangers near ❤🐾 I love you my fur baby, wait for mommy in Rainbow Bridge!
Had mine for 12 before she passed. It's been years but I still think about that dog everyday.
@@smokestrong1000 Same here 🥺😥
Wonderful video. Dachshunds are the best dogs in the world ❤
Thank you for watching!
Yes they are!🌭🌭
Don't be deceived. These are big dogs with big hearts.
Thanks for leaving a comment!
In our UK Kennel Club it states they are "courageous to the point of rashness." Love it! I`ve had Smooth Dachshunds since the mid 1970`s Eight at one time but just two now. A mini and a Standard. Never found any cons! All of mine have walked for miles and my 12 year old even now goes out for about 3/4 of an hour. As to "prey drive?" My miniature is more of a hunter than my Standard boy. He`s never bothered with squirrels or cats! Too many people have the breed and see them as cute or sweet.They aren`t handbag dogs!
Both of my wife's Dachs had cancer. House breaking was an ease for us. Great dogs and loyal for life.
One of my doxies lived to be 19. Annie, is now 9, and doing well. During one brutal winter, we had to let her do her stuff indoors, and now have been having an awful time trying to get her trained again. sigh I love her so much.
Ahh, thanks for sharing!
Thank you for the vidio.Everything is true.I have a mix
Chiwee but more Dauchund.She is a doll and the love of my life
😁❤️
@@patriciacarson1463 I also have a chiweenie. She's smart but stubborn and strong willed. But I love her anyway. She looks mostly like her doxie mom but with stand up ears like her dad. She weighs around 18 pounds. Mom was a standard size doxie, dad was a tiny Chihuahua. (Jan Griffiths).
@Patricia Carson I have a chaweenie too. She is mostly doxie with crinkled ears. They are short and don't hang like curtains on the side of their head. She's very loyal to hubby and I. Love her to pieces. She's 13 now, and her face is white. Again, love her to pieces.
I love Dachshunds.
My little girl will be 18 I n a few months. She is a mini black and tan. Her sister is a long hair dapple 10 years old. Very loving pups.
Yes, they are; thanks for sharing!
I have a Chiweenie---a mix of Dachshund and Chihuahua. Her mom is a black and tan 25 pound standard size doxie, and her dad is a tan 5 pound Chihuahua. She is stubborn as heck. She'll do what she wants when she wants. She was easy to housebreak, however. She kind of gets along with my other dog, a min pin pug mix. They're both getting old now---Freddie (min pin pug) is 14, and Molly (chiweenie) is 13. Both are still active and playful. (Jan Griffiths).
Ahh, thanks for sharing!
I got a 7 month old chiweenie. So much fun she is so social and loves other dogs.
We have another chiweenie mix around 8.
Our 10 yo chaweenie Elsa is the bestest girl!! The only complaint I have is that she submissively urinates when petted.
The best traits of big dogs packed in an adorable, yet cool (they look like haired crocodiles) sausage shaped little fellow.
They are extremely loyal, great hunters and exceptional watch dogs.
It's hands down the best breed of small dogs. I always liked big dogs but my little Doxie has nothing to envy from them, he's stubborn at times, but his courage and overall awesomeness more than make up for it.
Couldn't agree more, and thanks for sharing!
Have a dachshund crossed with jack russell. He has all the charm and charisma of both but especially of dachshunds, and the more robust physiognomy of the jackie. He is the light of my life.
Amazing dogs. Had them as kids and they make the best movie buddy. Great at fetch. And my 2 loved baths. It was epic to have dogs this sweet to hang out with. And they loved to be pampered. Just be prepared to lose every blanket in the house to them. Pro tip: the cat beds that are little caves make awesome weenier dog beds. And they will love you if you put little ramps at the end of your couch for easy access to your blankets
Pro tip 2: adopt a pair. They always seem way happier having someone their size to play with.
Thanks for sharing!
My little dog is obviously a dachshund mix, but she has quite long legs. I wonder what she was mixed with. She is intensely loyal, and loves being under blankets. I love that dog; I even take her to work with me when i can. Gonna get my CDL, and she's gonna be my truck baby
Thanks for sharing!
I have owned dachshunds for the past 30 years! They are the best! Over the years I have had 2 that had back issues. Other than that. They are the best, smart, funny and loyal dogs I have ever had!❤️
With one big exception this is a well done video. All dogs who are loyal to their owners can have dificulty changing owners. Big but! When they do they are even more dedicated to their new human. If you have a patient and caring heart and can dedicate a bit of extra time adopting a "second hand" Doxie will be extra rewarding and successful.
Thanks for sharing!
My neighbors had two mini-Dachshunds, but one bullied the other mercilessly. They were both 9 years old, and the bullying got too much to bear, as the bully kept the smaller one from eating and she was growing quite thin. Well, that's where I came into the picture. They liked how I treated my animals, from dogs and cats to my horses, and asked if I would be willing to take on one more. I've had the little girl for about two months, now, and both her previous owners and I have noticed that YES, she is absolutely, without-a-doubt, hands down, devoted to me, and much more so than she was with them. She's become my little shadow, and we might as well be joined at the hip. (I'm crazy about her, too.) When her old parents dropped by to see me/us a few weeks ago, they were tickled to see her run towards them, got a quick pet, turned around, and raced back to me, and there she stayed. They're as happy as I am that this turned out so well.
Very well written comment. First class. Thank you.
I love these doggos. My grandma has one and I’m looking forward to getting a job so I can get one of my own
Pros- owning one..
Cons- not owning one..
Thanks for leaving a comment!
My Doxie/ lab mix is fearless. She approaches any sized dogs & even tried chasing a bear
Thanks for sharing!
In Germany they are called „Dackel“.
SEEMS. LIKE. THE. SMALLER. THE. DACHSUND. THE. MORE. LOVE. THERE IS❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Had a wonderful dachsie, Honey, long haired golden girl. Became my husbands bff when he had major eye surgery, She never left his side during the six week recouperation, we both cried when she had to be put down say 18 years. She h had major back surgery at 6 years old at MSU, but survived and walked and jumped everywhere after my daughter did PT with her twice a day. Hope she's in heaven with Nonna, now! 🙏💕
brilliant analysis best i’ve seen
I absolutely love winner dogs
When these little "people" look in the mirror they see a lion
LOVE them
People have the wrong ideas of these dogs. Hilarious, watch dogs, hunters and so stubborn. I miss my baby G.
Thanks for watching!
Never had any issues with house breaking. And I had him since 6 weeks old
Thanks for watching!
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 ! 😉
Thanks for sharing; some viewers will find the information helpful!
Or you can feed a raw diet consisting of 80% muscle meat, 10% organ meat and 10% bone and they will have beautiful white healthy teeth for life without needing any cleanings to maintain this!
My 3 & 5 yo doxies have whiter more beautiful teeth than my own and I’ve never brushed them or had them cleaned!
God Bless!!
@@abetterplacetobe Yep, raw diets are the way to go. My cats and dogs eat raw, and all have excellent teeth and overall oral health. They also have great skin and coats, and shed very little. I do not feed treats. (Jan Griffiths).
Have had three mixed breed Doxies and one purebred. I currently own a Doxle ( Dashshund Beagle mix) Herschel, who will be 10 in August. He looks like a Piebald Doxie and acts pure Doxie.
Hola soy Elizabeth no sé nada de inglés pero tengo de estos perritos y los amo tengo 2 hembras
Love how the cons are just every problem associated with terriers. Being more stubborn is how you train anything, including children.
Look so clean!
I’ve had 3 doxies, 2 female and 1 male. The females were so easy to potty train, complete in 1 week whereas the male was impossible to. He knew what was expected of him but he would still very sneakily mark his territory. They also love learning tricks. And are oh so adorable!
Would you like another one? My son found a sweet female in the road. I tried to find her owner. No luck. I already have 3 big dogs so I need to find a home for this sweet housebroken girl maybe 1 year old.
So nice to see you 💜
Just got 2 about 2 mo ago. Our 4-5 ones. ❤
I loved mine, have had several rescues. These dogs are usually old, I would have them until their end and have them humanely put down. This became very hard on me, so I have a Doxie mix
Thanks for sharing!
Training a dacshund is easy with families who own multiple dogs as the dachshund will learn by example of his pack mates it will also help with exercise, food control, their playful lifestyle ,and it curbs some of their stubbornness.
You are right, and thanks for sharing!
Love them.
I love them.❤
The Dachssong
There's no other dog like a Dachshund, walking so close to the ground, their stubborn and sly as a fox and the happiest pet to be found
Most kinds of dogs seem to either have shapes or proportions all wrong, they're only one way or the other, but Dachshunds are both short and long.
Doxie mein Doxie, the best canine under the sun call you wiener or sausage or hot dog, we know that you're number one.
Well said!
The fact that the partnership comparison shows that it's down for commiting crime with you speaks volumes....also can provide the holes for the bodies.
Highly interesting, highly interesting. I reward channels with low bs-o-meter (eg.: loud, obnoxious sounds, fast frame changes, unnecessary talking, blabla, politics, pc, stuff like that).
Subscribed.
Agree 100 %.💣💥🌭
Our dog ( Kyra) get this year 16 years old. A Dachshund you most not feed to mutch because they have no stop in eating. Plus give them a bench where they sleep and stay when you go away. Greetings from the Netherlands 👍
Greetings and thanks for watching!
Luna is my second dashhund,she is now, 11 months,she is playful,funny, keeps me busy,😊she loves my scootmobil, to sit on ,when we go out,the best dogs
@@mo34jo78 have fun and enjoy it 🐶
So I just am newly adopting a Dachshund but he’s not a puppy but we have a pure bond. I was wondering how to train him like harness training as if he was a puppy just getting all the basics to train him and take him out since he’s not a puppy
He’s about 4 years old I would say
I suggest speaking to a trainer!
Dachshund is best dog ever.
They are not stubborn. They are hounds who are bred to hunt and think on their own while in the field ..they are very smart, they must figure things out for themselves when hunting....they dont like other breeds..they are good with another dachshund..they are good to keep in pairs or packs
Yes, thanks
"Random debris" indeed. Mine saw a snowman and started barking at it.
We have a 14 yr old dachshund/ terrier mix. Looks like the wire haired. Resued him at 2. Hes so charming, smart and howls when i leave my husband has taken videos. Hes my baby. ❤
Watching this video in bed with Felix, Shipley, and Sadie (who is pregnant and due next week). Each dog is cocooned in his/her own fleece throw and happily snoozing. I got my first dachshund in the mid-1960s, and I think these 3 are numbers 17, 18, and 19.
I’m trying to find a home for a dachshund pup my son found in the street. She’s a beauty and sweet about a year is my best guess.
what about cat cohabitation please? If they are hunter dog, is it possible to get a baby dachs with adult cats ?
thx for you very intresting video btw !!
Thanks for watching!
@@animaldigest ty for no answer 😁
Yes Cat and Dachshund can co-exist very well. My neighbours have a Dachshund and a large cat and he lies with his head on that cat and she doesn't seem to mind. It does depend on individual personalities just as with us humans 🙂
No con, actually one of those little girls saved my life,.
If you get a dachshund you can avoid any back problems by having ramps and never letting it go up and down stairs. There is a website dedicated to dachshund injury. A must read for any owner.
Pro: Best dog ever.
Con: Wants cuddles.
No cons, to owning a,daschund love ❤of my life Flynnie has gone now but yhe best friend I ever had. The best , the unforgettable.
Una sigură!!!Teckel ul este singura rasă de câini care gândește,tinandu și instinctul în frâu!!!!!! atât Laszlo din Timișoara
uncondditional love! when i was sick or sad, she was my best friend ever!! Tufi, my little doxie, I miss you ... a lot !!
doxie's best feature/secret weapon : those eyes which talk to us ... and ...OMG... they know how to use them! 🙂
For back injury - consider learn how to hold them properly , avoiding pulling them from front legs ... without suppporting their backs.
Do long haired dachshunds bark less?
Don’t let the dachshund do *says everything my dachshund does*
Soy de Santiago de chile
They are also nature's perfect eating machine. Basically, a mobile, fur-covered digestive tract.🤣
I've had 3 .... 1st female mini 13 years... Male standard, stubborn, 12 years, female mini 14 years 3 months... My girls weren't stubborn, very smart, listened well, wasn't around children. Children need to be taught First to have Respect for all animals. Only breed I want, I miss my baby girl lost her May 1 this year.
One thing that you missed, if a dachshund licks something they automatically consider it theirs. This includes people. When I go visit my kids, my ex wife's two dachshunds think I belong to them. Which seems hilarious at first, but objects are also subject to this rule and the female of the two is prone to take something and lick it, when you go to get it back, she expresses that said object is now her private property.
I love my doxie Charlie Brown!
I'm finally finding out about mine because I got one now, she's 5,and friend give her too me,because she couldn't take care of it, 😮😂 and that was 4 days ago, 😅
My 18 year old still runs around the yard chasing lizards.
Kings of the canines
This dog has no cons
Great dogs, one of mine is 16 but massive health issues pet insurance a must.
I agree. Thanks for watching!

A standard sized Dachshund that weighs 32 pounds would be extremely obese. Up to 18 pounds would be considered normal.
I love wiener dogs they are the hest dogs ever!!!!
No Cons!!!!! I have two and they are the best!!!!!
The only con is if your A stranger or A mail man your In trouble & will get the business!
I LOVE MY DAUCHAND CHARLIE IS MY RIDE OR DIE
I want a dachshund her name corn dog
We had a dashound my mother in law had one and she went into a nursing home and we looked after her and she was very snappy and barked a lot and hated everyone but we lost her to tick bite
Sorry for your loss!
One of those breeds of dogs banned from most apartments due to excessive barking.
Got 2 weeks to toilet train and the rest of what you want a dog to do for my sister... was hoping it'd be as easy as my mali 😂
Thanks for sharing!
@Animal Digest I'll give you an update in 2 weeks, so far looks like it's going to be hard work
