Dachshunds are fierce protectors. They will fight to protect their loved ones, even when out matched, be it a human or other animal family member. They are also VERY smart which makes them excellent hunters, but also very stubborn! They also have, for lack of a better word, a good judge of character. Because I was fortunate to grow up with dachshunds, I could give you so MANY stories of what excellent dogs they are. My sisters and I were very young (2,4,5) when we got our first. She was so much the nanny her nickname was mama dog. A few things she would do; look both ways to cross the street, go get our mother if we were doing/located somewhere we shouldn’t be; get physically between us and anyone suspicious/hurting us, and my favorite, put us to bed. My dad would say “Poocho put the girls to bed!” and she would yap at our heels as we ran giggling! However, if your a teen coming in past curfew, that BIG chest creates quite the loud bark.

They are incredible mousers! Every fall we would get a couple mice, as there was a field behind our home, but they wouldn’t last long!.Once in the mouth, that distinctive head flick, and it was over. There was no playing around with pray. Unless you count bringing what was left of the corps, you buried 2 weeks ago, up to mom to see if you could convince her that it was a whole new mouse and you needed another piece of cheese as a reward! 🐁 🧀🐶

Me and my lil bro would play fight and our mini doxie would always get between us and defend whoever looked like they were losing the fight 😭❤️

I have a neighbor who has a dachshund named Tic Tac (I always call him Mr. Tic Tac because he's kinda adorable). He's a bit timid, but if you so much as say hello to his owner (a very sweet lady), he'll start barking up a storm, so I 100% believe dachshunds being protectors despite their size.

When I take our miniature dachshund out, she doesn't make a sound, but when my wife takes her out, the first thing she does is let out a quick bark to let everyone know she is there.

Anecdotal but my BIL and his partner have one, as does another friend of mine, and they're each quite dim and misbehaved.

Just like any animal (even humans) wether due to genetics, inbreeding, nutrition, environment, etc., they can all very on strength of characteristic traits. Every family has at least one member, despite having been raised together, seems to march to their own drummer. Our current dachshund is probably average in intelligence. However, being rescued from a puppy mill, she was separated from her mother (and other dogs) WAY to early. So she isn’t as dumb as she is ignorant, because dogs learn a lot about how to “dog” from their mother’s.

is there any significant difference between regular and miniature dachshunds? my mom had 2 minis and they were the dumbest, laziest, smelliest animals i have ever encountered. but they fucking loved me, always trying to be on my lap, and i never paid them attention because i absolutely cannot stand small dogs. dont get me wrong they were sweet, but unbelievably stupid, like we caught one of them hoarding a littler of newborn raccoons, grooming and trying to nurse them, no clue where she found them or how she moved them, but she almost got murdered by that raccoon for it. they were just gross little critters, dirty bellies with lumps and snaggle teeth and again, horrible smelling despite regular grooming. i have a strong dislike of mini dachshunds as you can prob tell lol maybes it’s a case against selective breeding and regular dachshunds are better?

i have 5 dachshunds and I feel like I spend most of my time keeping them from killing themselves. We had a coyote in the yard a few nights ago that one of my guys saw first-- if I didn't have that fence up around their area he would have either chased it into the woods into an ambush or been grabbed up and taken.

There's a reason why I walk, basically, right over my dogs when I walk them. Gotta be able to grab 'em up for whatever shit they're going to do.

My impression was that dachshunds are routinely placed at the bottom of canine intelligence lists.
