Dach Sund -

At least he didn’t say, “weener dog”. 🤮 Dox-hoont. Try it. It’s pretty easy: Dox-hoont. Dachshund is the German word for for “badger hound”. Many (most?) dogs with a long back and short legs succumb to spondylosis of the spine before advanced age. This condition usually causes paralysis of the hind quarters. The dog’s rear legs no longer work and urinary and bowel control is lost. It is a painful condition - at onset, extremely so. Of the three Dachshunds we had, Gus lived the longest: 13 years, 2 months. All three succumbed to this awful malady and were euthanized. Strapping a paraplegic dog into a two-wheeled cart, carrying him outside for relief and cleaning-up his “accidents” for the rest of what time he had left was not an option for me. He would have been miserable as would I. Such extreme measures are more often done to satisfy a human than improve the dog’s life. Although we’ve owned doorknobs with a higher I.Q., we later loved a brace of Basset Hound sisters (littermates) that also fell victim to this awful condition - one after only 7 years while the other recovered partial use of her hindquarters and survived a few, more years. The Dachshund is a GREAT companion. The Basset Hound is a nice family dog if not the brightest “lamp in the chandelier”. Ours each had a pedigree as long as a roll of toilet paper with nary a champion on it. In memory of Gustav von Alphonso, CDX, HB-180493 😞

The paws are massive and webbed. Could not believe how fast and efficiently he could dig a hole if he detected underground critter activity. Built to dig. So perfectly engineered for the jobs they were meant to do. The cuddling and snuggling are a bonus. Oh, man, can they cuddle!

After a lifetime of big dogs a dachshund wandered into my life. A charming longhaired. I had a lot to learn. Budlee has been a patient and loving teacher. All my dogs have been good ones but this little beast is so intelligent it's eerie. I have great respect for his opinion of people. If you're sketchy he knows it and makes sure I know it, too. He's been known to back people right out the door they came in thru. Very loudly. They curse the dumb dog but Bud's human friends know exactly what he's doing and there is nothing dumb about it. I have blessed with a very wise companion. I was so offended by a stupid neighbor thinking Bud was just a small and brainless yappy dog and not the highly specialized hound he is. Totally dismissed him, as he totally dismissed her as just another brainless yappy female human.

You forgot that they can be mouthy little buggers if not trained well. Neighbours across the road just got a balloon animal recently and the damn thing won't shut up.

Yeah not gonna lie I’m not gonna take this video serious if you can’t properly say dachshund

dutch shunds?? Learn to pronounce!

The picture that you initially see before the video isn't exactly the most flattering. I have a dachshund and he has never growled or shown his teeth to me or anyone.

When it comes to stairs carry them up and down, but , so they don't beat you to it install the type of baby gates that unlatch and swing open...top and bottom of stairs... My Ol Schmoe lost the use of his rear legs from stairs when he was only 6, and we had to put a diaper on him because he couldn't control his bladder. My wife thought we should put him down but i said no!...i will try everything first...Laser treatment was new at that time so we tried that...and a month later while we were watching tv...here comes Schmoe walking right past us...a little wobbly at first but he completely healed, because we continued a monthly treatment for him...We got 17 memorable loving years out of Ol Poolhall Schmoe!...What a Blessing he was...🥰

Fact #9 the breed is not pronounced “dash hound”

Dachshunds usually love to play Tug-of-War. It imitates what they do when they are hunting badgers and rabbits. They go into the den, grab a hold (bite) of the badgers or rabbits nose or tail, and then pull it out backwards. / B.

I am on #5 Wire Mini. Never had spinal issues on any of them even though I have stairs in my house. However none have lived past 12 1/2 years. The burrowing thing has never been a problem with any of them, but pretty much all the rest of the traits. Little size/big personality!

Everything is true in my case except the 5th if i try say something little complicate he will simpley go away from me or uf i holding him hi will slap me on my face just like a rude cat

Mine are obsessed and stare me into submission

We’ve had Dachshunds for forty years. None have done damage to our yard. We have had our Dachshunds live twenty-four years. We never feed our dog commercial dog food of any kind. Commercial dog food is unhealthy.

In the first point, you said that smooth, standards were the most popular... For years, I've rarely seen the standards, but see the mini-dachshunds all the time.

It's pronounced "doxhunds" NOT daschhounds.

One of the most important things abou them, while being funny, cute and cuddly sweethearts for their people they can be mean mother truckers towards other dogs and animals. A dog that was used for hunting badgers(also vicious animals) can inflict serious injuries.

Any in the winter their small blanket warmers

And they are aggressive or can be

I'm watching this while the dachshund of my brother sleeps in my arms. Very entertaining!

All dogs will love you if you show your love to them never mistreat them they can be your best friend ever I had lots of animals in my 67 years and treated all with love .😅

they arent dash hounds. they are dox-ins.

The hell is a "dash hound"?

My 12 yo dachhund had 2 cases when his legs were canceled, and long healing after that. So, definitely if you want to take this dog - you must to think about it, and be ready to pick her up on every stairs

I know, I almost smushed mine in my chair 😱😱😱

As soon as you said there name wrong, I knew you didn’t know what you were talking about

Me and my cousin got 2 of these dogs, they are crazy do crazy shit in the house lol! They are unpredictable dogs.

My little lad follows me everywhere. Love him to bits

I really tried to watch, but I just could not bear listening to the mispronunciation of the word "Dachshunds" over and over again.

My dachshund is 14. She is the funniest dog in the world. She is old so all she really needs is food, water, and potty. A lot of our relationship is nonverbal, she will look at me and immediately know what's up. I have never had a bond with an animal like I have with her

Helpful information as I would like to own of of these in the future

Fact# 9 Dachshunds is pronounced " dax hunds ".

If you call em dashhounds you've already lost credibility..SMH

Fact 9 - learn to speak some German before a documentary on “Dash hounds.” Sheesh

The spinal issue is just wrong

My Jack Russell doesn't yawn when I yawn, but he does all the rest points. About the last one, when I was diagnosed with cancer, he couldn't stand seeing me cry, and he made all he could to comfort me. I love him so much.

Everything is true! my dachshund lived for 16.5 years and I believe that we overlooked the treatment. He was old but could have lived longer ((

"Docs-hund" not "Dash-hound"

dax hund... Badger Dog.. there is no shund in there.

Sad how many always call 'em "Dash" hound. Its "Dax" (for the Dachs), I've had a number of them, including my little Dapple right now. She's a miniature age 7.

Fact 6 ist incorrect. They are able to learn where they can dig and where Not. Ours have Space for that and Special words

Say Dachshund correctly not Dash hounds. Dach doc shund

Beef. ?

My jack loves to nick dirty underwear, if I sneeze he comes running & jumps on me & starts licking me.

They are the very best cuddlers.

One of them at 0:05 almost looks like wishbone.

Fun fact:Not afraid foreworks and in fact will attack them despite danger

Fact #9 they no concept of size. If you let them they will be the alpha and expect you to follow.
