12 Realities New Dachshund Owners Must Learn To Accept

by pawbuzz on in Dogs 98

Curious, lively, charming, and brave, the Dachshund is similar to a terrier in his demands to be in on everything.

This comical clown loves to play games and has a great sense of humor. He is a loyal little dog, very attached to his family, and he firmly believes that sleeping under the bedcovers is in the Dachshund Bill of Rights.

Dachshunds attract devoted followers who would never consider having any other breed. Indeed, Dachshunds are often kept in pairs, which is A-OK with them, since they seem to recognize and prefer being with other “wiener dogs”.

They're usually good with other family pets, too, though they can be jealous when they want attention and they can be possessive of their toys. You need to put a firm stop to the first signs of jealousy or possessiveness so that these don't become bad habits.

Though bright and clever, Dachshunds like to do things their own way. In other words, they're stubborn. Cheerful praise and treats should be offered freely, as Doxies are proud little dogs who resist force.

If you are considering to own a dachshund, or you’ve just become a new dachshund owner, there are some realities you do need to fully accept.

    I am still so devoted to “Cooper” ; I can’t let myself even think about another one right now!!! It was just me and him for 9 yrs and he just passed in January after a hard couple months. I had to make the decision to let him go and I have been devastated since!!! I promised myself that I would never feel this heartbreak again.
