r/Dachshund

This is a warning to all new dachshund owners. This face will happen anytime you have food. This is to lull you as this is only stage one of wanting your food (mogwai stage). Escalation will happen...gremlining WILL happen.

Does anyone else's dachshund territorial scent mark around the house? He is potty trained but has picked up this new fun habit.

Family just got Mable(little brown one) today and she’s not been shy mixing it up with her big sister Bella.

Absolutely gorgeous 😭

Long walk for Chaels little legs today, but he never gives up 💙

My beautiful eevee is growing up so fast! Keeping to my goal of a portrait for every month of her life. 😊

Rosie has been rescued today and is going to be joining a foster organization. She is the absolute sweetest weenie! She has gotten snacks and is currently sitting in my lap curled up in a blanket. She apparently had lived outside her whole life. Please send her love as she gets healthier and gains weight.

Edit: typo
Also, we are trimming her nails tomorrow

I could have a bad night of rest, bad day before, stressed, all of the above, but when I come out at 6:30am to this, my day is automatically reset to a brighter morning of love.

Also it HAS TO be 6:30 or he WILL unleash his fury 😭😭😭😭😭😭

Picked up our boy today and just wanted to share.

He is deaf so we are doing our utmost to take care of him like he deserves. His big brother jet is helping us with that and hopefully will teach him good habits lol.

Hello! In the last month my boyfriend and I moved in with each other to a new place. With that, we brought my 3 cats and my 10 year old dachshund. Overall, everything seems to be going well. However, my girl WILL NOT go #2 outside. It’s a court yard outside my townhouse apartment & I see plenty of dogs going outside, so I’m sure she smells them, but it’s exhausting to have to clean up after every day multiple times a day. She will pee outside & I’ll stay out an extra 10 minutes to wait. She won’t do anything & then when she gets inside she’ll poop shortly after. Any advice is greatly appreciated!

I wanted to introduce our little bundle of joy. ♥️my son named her Fishy Mocha and her silly little personality absolutely fits her name.
I have wanted a mini dapple dachshund for years and this year was finally the year where it made sense. She is the perfect addition to our family. She is so kind and sweet with our senior dog and our cat.

If you and your dachshund haven’t checked out Earthdog, I can’t recommend it more highly. It is my dachshund’s favorite activity in the whole world and the best thing I’ve ever done for her.

Earthdog is a super fun AKC sport where your dog gets to go down an underground tunnel and bark, dig, and chew their little heart out trying to attack some safely caged rats. You don’t need to do any prep work or training or even sign up in advance. Just find an event on the AKC calendar, bring your dog on leash and the entry fee, and they will tell you everything you need to get started. All dachshunds and many small terrier breeds are eligible and even if they’re not AKC registered, you can register them through PAL online in advance. Your dog doesn’t need to be from any special hunting background to do it—mine certainly isn’t—just a love for barking and a little prey drive.

As awesome as Earthdog is for doxies, it’s definitely a struggling sport that can use all the support it can get. If you have a dog that loves to chase squirrels or dig in your garden and are interested, give it a try! You won’t regret it.

Feel free to ask me any questions about Earthdog, registering through PAL, or anything else down below! Big thank you to West Penn club for hosting us this weekend!!

Hello fellow dachshund lovers! I am the proud mother of a 7 month old terror. He is super playful, but does what any dachshund puppy does and obliterates every single toy we’ve gotten him. Any recommendations for toys, that may not be indestructible, but will at least last longer than a week?

Would also appreciate any suggestions for mental stimulation toys. We’ve gotten him a few treat puzzles, which he loves but would just like to get him some additional stuff simply for being the goodest boy and to give him some variety.

Thanks in advance for any suggestions! Bonus pic of my little man 🥰

New member of our family, Vicky, 4 months old.❤️
