15. Living with a dachshund is not same as living with a cat.
Some people call them dachshunds, wiener dogs, sausage dogs, or hot dogs but I know that they are the best dogs. Dachshunds are humorous because of their personality and many variations. That makes you feel like a Pokemon trainer and you are trying to catch all dachshunds.
1. Dachshunds are dogs with crazy personalities
Photo by Sharon Forte
Dachshunds are just small dogs but they think they are one
of the biggest dogs. They are not afraid of anything and they are comical, they
like to make their owner laugh. Besides, dachshunds are adventurous, smart and
stubborn. They are free thinkers, which if not trained properly you will get
difficult to manage, but when you train them in the right way it makes your
dachshund extremely entertaining.
2. Dachshunds are small but they are real friends.
Photo by Mark Brunelle
Dachshunds are surely the small dogs and they are fierce.
However, you will be turned off by the idea of small dogs because they never
think they are real dogs. Dachshunds belong to the hound and they were bred to
hunt small animal especially birth. Dachshunds are very loyal to their owners
and they are ideal watchdogs. Besides, they always want to make their owner
laugh by crazy activities so you can consider them as good friends.
3. They have a long lifespan.
Photo by Tyler Hamby
As small dogs, dachshund tent to have a long lifespan. Generally, a dachshund can live for a period 12 ~ 17 years, even older. Two dachshunds and one mixed dachshund hold places on the list of the 20 oldest dogs on record. Scolly in Mexico, lived for 20 years, Otto (a dachshund-terrier) had been lived for 21 years and one month and the oldest dachshund on record, Chanel in the US, had been lived for 21 years and 114 days. That is why dachshunds are ideal for humans.
4. They are incredibly popular.
Photo by Kara Shank
Dachshunds were the 13th most popular dog breed in the
United States in 2015. They have beated other popular small breeds like
Chihuahuas, Pugs, Boston Terriers… The dachshund’s popularity has also spawned
a large community of dachshund owners.
5. They are spread so much joy.
Photo by Kyle S. Antel
If you’re a dog owner, you’ll probably be excited to see any
dog walk by – but dachshunds spread a special kind of joy that seems unique to
them. When you are walking a doxie dog, you will difficult to find a person who
does not light up with happiness he see your dog. Dachshunds seem to bring out
everyone’s inner happiness, which makes them great candidates to be therapy
dogs, and to be your new best friend!
6. They are the most loyal dogs
Do you know? Many famous people owned dachshunds, they are artists such as Pable Picasso, Andy Warhol and David Hockney. Many people love dachshunds because they are the most loyal dog breeds.
Why do dachshunds have long bodies? They are also called
sausage dogs, wiener dogs, they are notorious for long backs and short legs but
why do these dogs come in such a special shape? Long body makes dachshunds the
most special dogs and you will think of a hot-dog when you see a dachshund. Despite
small size and funny body shape, they are actually courageous dogs. They also
have a lively and playful attitude.
8. They think they are humans.
Photo by Erick De la Rosa
Life can be hard sometimes. Some days we feel link things
couldn’t get it worse. Dachshunds likely think that they are humans because
they consider their owners as their family. You’d understand just how much a
dachshund can turn your bad day around and make you feel better about yourself
and your life. I honestly like them more than some humans
9. Dachshunds are known as the smartest dogs.

Of course, dachshund is man’s best friend and we all know this. But dachshunds really, really are. They are just the most lovable, funny, crazy, smart dogs in the world, and they will steal your heart.

10. Dachshunds are so confident.

Dachshunds are just small dogs but they are so confident and
they always think they are as big as humans.
11. They can’t steal goods off the counter.
Photo by Ann Marie Turnock
As you know, dachshunds are small dogs with short legs, so
how can they steal goods off the counter or food on a table.
12. They are human protectors.
Dachshunds were bred to hunt and when there is a person threatening their owners, they will be fiercely protective of their owners. Dachshunds form a special bond with one human, and when their special human is “under attack” (whether that be a tickling or an actual attack), the dogs jump to the rescue, fighting off the aggressor!
13. You cannot get angry at them for more than 5 minutes.
Photo by Shannon John
Sometimes, stubborn dachshunds may make you get mad with their crazy activities such as sitting on your laptop, stealing your shoe, tearing toilet paper… However, you cannot get angry for long because they will show apologize on their face when they see that you are not happy or angry.
If you can talk and understand what your dachshund says,
your life will be more interesting. Then you can know why your dachshund bark
at a broom or hide beneath a bed when there are thunderstorms.
Recently, there are some signs found and they help us understand more about our dogs. These signs are not sure 100% correct but if you pay attention to them, you can understand how is love your dachshund wants to give to you.
1. Looking straight into your eyes
Photo by Christy Lewis
In a conversation, Brian Hare, a dachshund trainer said: “If
the dog is trying to hug you with those eyes.
When you play with your dachshund, a hormone called oxytocin released
and this hormone helps mothers and their children become more closely
connected.
You can do this experiment: Let the dachshund play alone for
a long time and look straight into his eyes. He will feel uncomfortable and
turn away. But if you play with your dachshund and also look straight into his
eyes and you will see the difference.
2. Yawning when you yawn
Photo by Natalie Dennis
Yawning is a possible “transmission” reaction. But did you
know that yawning is not just a reaction between people? Your dachshund can
read your emotions and he will also yawn when his owner yawn.
Scientists have found that the spread of a person-to-person yawn
comes from the empathy. But for dachshunds or other dogs, it is impossible to
conclude where the reason for yawning is from. But it is very likely that the dachshund
yawning with the owner shows the close relationship between the owner and the dachshund.
3. Leaning on you
Photo by Aubrey Jean Nolan
Dachshunds always want to be cared. Sometimes the dog will
head, lean on you to get your attention, or want you to walk him. You can see
the feelings of your dachshund even when he is panicking and rushing at you, it
shows that the dog considers you as a solid refuge.
4. Holding you after a meal
Photo by David Ariza
In the book How Dogs Love Us, the author Gregory Berns says
if after meals, dachshunds want to lay in your lap, it means they love you very
much.
Everyone knows that dachshunds or other animals love to eat. But according to Berns, once eaten, the dog’s next action will show what is important to them, in addition to eating. Watch out every morning or every night, after feeding them, how the dogs will react to you.
5. Wiggling eyebrows
Photo by Nina McDaniel
We all know that dachshunds always use their tails to
express their emotions. But just a few people know that the dachshunds’ face
also shows more emotions. In Japan, there is a research that the people will
place the dachshunds and other dogs in different situations, with strangers,
with parents and with things they don’t like. When the dogs meet their parents,
they will raise their eyebrow (especially the left eyebrow). When the dogs meet
strangers, their faces often look no expression. When the dogs see familiar
toys, left ear of the dogs will move backwards. If it is a thing that they
hate, the right ear moves.
6. Silently looking at you when you are walking
Photo by Nikola Ćulibrk
Most the people think that the dachshund will get into a
state of panic when you get out of your house it is a sign that the dog loves
you so much.
However, the fact is not really. According to Gregory Berns,
when a dachshund gets panicky when you get out of your house, it is a sign that
your dog is anxious instead of loving you. On the other hand, if he keeps calm
and stay in the house, it means that he believes you will return to him.
7. Being happy when you come home
Photo by Birdie Wood
We all feel special when opening the door and the dachshund
wagging his tail happily, jumping up and down like kangaroos. And that is a
very specific way of expressing the sentiments of dogs. Their love is shows
clearly.
8. Sleeping with you in your bed
Photo by Nathan Ranie
There is a way to know whether your dachshund loves you or
not, that is finding the place he sleeps.
Although, this way has not been verified, according to
Gregory Berns, if a dachshund sleep with you in your bed, it means he does not
want to leave you.
9. Bringing you toys
Photo by Lisa Conner Cains
If a puppy brings you his favorite toys, it means he wants
to play with you not only playing with the toys and this sign shows that the
dachshund thinks you are a leader and he wants to give you the best he owns.
10. Enjoying your love
Photo by Olivia Barrow
Do you love your dachshund? If you do, your dachshund loves you too. Author Gregory Berns wrote that dogs can feel their owner’s love so if you don’t love your dogs, the dogs won’t love you either.

5. Tearing stuffs
Photo by Lisa Conner Cains
If your dachshund is trained, he may tear some stuffs in
your house because he feels boring or he is afraid of being abandoned. If he
still tears things even he is trained already, that means he is full of energy,
you need to walk him or let him work out more.
6. Siting on your feet
Photo by Jesus Lamas
There are many reasons your dachshund can do this. If he is worried about separation, this is a common way to try to comfort himself by being closer to you. If he envies another dogs, your dachshund would like to show that you are for him only.
If not above, your puppy probably just wants to be around you.
7. Yawning

Dachshunds don’t just yawn when they are tired, they can
also do the same when they are stressed or feared. If your dachshund yawns
around strangers, it is a sign that he does not dislike and feels uncomfortable
with him.
8. Relying on you

If your dachshund relies on you, it means he is wanting to get
your attention, cuddle and show affection to you. This action can also help the
dog feel safer.
9. Sticking out tongue
Photo by Lori Vizier
When the dachshund’s tongue extends out of the mouth and
withdraws immediately, this is often a sign of discomfort, or an unwanted
stranger making him worry.
10. Wanting to sleep beside you
Photo by Tessa England
Not only the dachshund likes to sleep on your bed, but he
also wants to be close to you. There are conflicting opinions about whether letting
dogs sleep beside you or not, most veterinarians don’t see any danger unless
you are allergic to pets or asthma.
11. Calmly staring at you when you leave the house
Photo by Kylie Zatler
If your dachshund silently observes you when you leave the
house, this is a good sign. If not, if he has a feeling of separation, anxiety
and he can destroy furniture or howling in the house when you go out.
Some people love dachshunds like a woman loves an adorable
puppy or simply they see that it is very cute. Or some people like to do selfie
with their dog all day and when they have to go out, they will miss their
dachshund so much.
