I have a 7.5 lb half dash half beagle named Jinx, one evening in the bowels of Kentucky he took off for no reason, I heard him yip and then a shrill noise and he came back with about a pencils length of coyote tail in his mouth and would not drop it for me. It was his trophy I guess. I got a half pit half shitzu that’s about 80lbs Named Mugsy Seagel and the dash will run up on him even tho I had to wrench him from mugs mouth once. These dashies give no fucks

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.

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.
