Quote:I'm not a dachshund fan, as many bark their heads off at every knocking/doorbell noise they hear. I have one and he is the worst behaved dog I have EVER known:
- Bites
- Barks all the time
- Steals food from other dog
- Steals food off table
- Poops in house
- Pees when excited
- Injured other dog
Sorry, just had to vent for the humor. This is not a stereotype, as I know some which are much better.
I concur they may do most of these things (mine are lazy about going outside, and bark a lot), but STEALS FOOD OFF THE TABLE? Do you live in a Japanese house?
One of the nice things is that they can't reach the counter (unlike the Beagle, who steals everything). A lot of dogs may hurt each other -- but it's the non-dachshunds in my house that do that (on rare occasions) -- they tend to attack the oldest dog. It's weird.
Also, the young ones will stand in a circle and bark about nothing. It's hilarious but annoying.
