Opinions - Dachshund Dog Breed

Added on Jan 1st, 2008
I have a mini daschund named Jasmine who just turned 1 yrs old. She is also lively, curious, and very expressive. I love it when she sits on her bottom and lifts up her 2 front paws--she learned this trick all by herself!

I have a year and 3 month old miniature black and tan dachshund named Tequila Sunrise at Morning- I call her KiKi. She is very tiny weighing in at a whopping 5 lbs. I love her and spoil her. She expects to be treated as royalty. Her good Points: Sweet disposition, loves people (especially men), loves to play with other dogs (of all breeds), she loves children. Her bad points: barks continuously at cats, very hyper, stubborn, destructive ( she destroyed the vinyl in my kitchen by digging it up), and even though she is a spayed female she seems to have a need to mark territory. I say that because she is good at doing all her business outside but she will actually try to squeeze out as much urine as she can on my carpet. It is usually only a small amount but it is very frustrating. I love her dearly but do not think I would ever choose another dachshund. I want a sweet, cuddly, calm, and obedient lap dog.

My dachshund has always been Very protective of his family members. He just hates strangers, but after he sniffs a stranger and see that we accept them , he will. He is most loyal to my mom ( he's her baby!). He loves to be covered with blankets, loves to sleep, lay on his back and in the sun. He does not do well with other animals. His bark sounds like something much of a bigger dog.

I have 2 dachshunds. A mini black and tan dapple named STITCH and a very dilute red tweenie named BELLA. They are the most loveable dogs I have ever had in my life. They are 2 mushes. They do bark when they hear someone knock at the door or when they hear people outside our home. But they are like children....always wanting to be held and cuddled and loved. I wouldn't trade my doxies for any other dog in the world.

Missy is our baby. She sleeps in the bed under the covers. Missy loves everyone and only gets nervous around a lot of noise. She has offered to bite a couple of times but it's been in bad situations like being stuck with a large needle or seeing a child coming with bad intentions. She loves to run outside and doesn't meet human or animal strangers. She's so full of love she doesn't know what to do with herself at times. Ours lives are much fuller since she came to us.
