Ask any dachshund owner and they'll all tell you, without exception, that there’s no other dog worth owning. Dachshunds are not only one of the most popular breeds in America, but also one of the most loved today.
But why are these Sausage dogs (a.k.a. Weiner dogs, Doxies, Dashies, etc.) so popular today? Is it their irresistible sausage body, stubby legs and waving tails? or their bravery and loyalty to their humans?
The stubborn characteristics of dachshunds (making them a little difficult to train) can be traced back to those days spent learning and evolving into being great underground hunters. If they were easily swayed, they couldn’t have survived.
Well, whatever the case may be, there are reasons to believe that Dachshunds are actually the worst dog breed EVER!
Check out the 12 reasons why Dachshunds are actually the worst breed ever on the next page!

Our weens get eggs in the am, meat at night and weekly pup cups. They go to the beach every weekend and ride on jet skis. Talk about spoiled.

I think they as a breed are pretty far from the worst, in my opinion they are right up there among the best

You are literally an idiot. This article is pointing out the lovable flaws of the breed, and “worst” is “best” in disguise here. Note how no other dachshund owner responding to this post is mad.

Here’s my Berlitz. She’s half chihuahua, but her mannerisms match every typical dachshund behavior to a T.
Also this article missed eternal barking and eternal licking my face.
