I was the same way before we got our first wiener dog in ‘97, I was dead set against it. After a couple days of watching them run around, you’ll be hooked. One day I’m gonna have a herd of wiener dogs
The wife and boy want a "wiener dog" when Charlie passes on.........I just don't know, but wife said I get NO SAY in the next dog that we get. Charlie was kind of unexpected. My mom bought 2 German Shepard puppies at the ripe old age of 65, then decided that 2 German Shepard puppies was too much to handle at the ripe old age of 65, so she got rid of Charlie (he was always my fav)........well the guy that had him kept in in a cage in the basement in the dark, because his mom was "allergic."
The wife and I were talking about getting a dog, and she wanted a Lab, and I wanted a Bulldog, and we were actually going to go out and look at dogs that weekend, when my mom called me and told me about the conditions that Charlie was living in. I told her I would take him, and the wife really didn't have a say, I told her that we would be keeping him in the family, and he could visit his sister when we went to visit my mom on the weekends, so I get the wife's point, but just can't wrap my heard around owning a wiener dog.
im so jealous gd i want my dogs to play with a frisbee...but none of them willAn updated pic of my Blue Heeler, Trixie.
3 years old now. Loves playing in the water, but hates baths. Still a frisbee fiend.....
They grow up fast. Too fast.
She took to it instantly. Zero training needed
as many people on the boards know disc golf is like my favorite way to spend my time, so I wish dearly to have a dog I can throw a frisbee too. BUT THEY GOTTA BE TOO DUMB! not only that but none of them will go in water either. my dogs are cute but fuck do they suck and dogging
Get one! I always had large dogs growing up, but when my wife and I decided to get a dog she wanted a small dog. I didn't want a little fluffy dog and said we could get a small dog if it was a dachshund.

Aren't they mean too? Not like aggressive, but very protective?Get one! I always had large dogs growing up, but when my wife and I decided to get a dog she wanted a small dog. I didn't want a little fluffy dog and said we could get a small dog if it was a dachshund.
This is Pirate. He's getting up there in years and it will crush me when he's gone. He's the best dog I've ever had. Dachshunds are funny, smart and a little stubborn. We will always have a dachshund. We would have another one if not for my wife falling in love with our little mutt while we were looking at rescues for another dachshund.
I have never seen a mean one, I come across a lot of dachshund’s in my line of work.
Mine isn't at all, but I've heard they can be. We've never been in a situation where I feel like he needed to be protective, but that's one of the reasons I wanted a dachshund if getting a little dog. That they can handle themselves for a little dog. Mine has never met a stranger. The pizza delivery people love him. He will bark really loud if a stranger is at the door which I don't mind, but will calm down if I am fine with the person.
Ha ha wow!
I wouldn't say mean or protective as much as I would say clingy. We've rescued two and they will "battle" with each other to be the one to sit closest to us. Pugs are the same way. And, I'm not sure which brother said stubborn but that's an understatement.
I can deal with either, Charlie is very clingy......he's typically my shadow.
Charlie is a beaut! When I first met my wife she had a female Shepherd. she was a beaut also and protective. It didn't take long for her to warm up to me though. She's been gone a while now but we WILL have another Shepherd again some day.
They are fantastic dogs, just so damn hairy, it's like having a miniature Chewbacca, but Charlie is frickin' HUGE, and only 3yrs old......he doesn't realize how big he is.....he's knocked off 2 closet doors off their hinges, with just his tail!
Thanks! I'll get some more pics up. His coat is silky soft too. I always tell him that when he passes that he's to small to make a rug, but he'll make a beautiful pillow cover some day
. My wife doesn't think it's funny. Haha!
