re: My Miniature Dachshund Bit Me

Ours goes absolutely batshit crazy if you say the word bed. He knows that's his safe place and it's not to be messed with. I've never seen a dog be more violent and vicious than he is if you touch that kennel door.

This is why I own a golden and Aussie. Anything less than 30-40 lbs tends to be a-hole dogs with aggravating high pitch barks and unpredictable tendencies. Plus can’t hold their bladders as long.

You wouldn’t need to crate it at night if it could hold its bladder, or go to the door when it needs to piss or shite. My friend has 2 short hair dachshunds and both are skiddish and aggressive as hell.

One of my dogs is a Dachsund mix and apparently his personality is 100% dachshund because he is an a-hole to everyone except me, but a buddy of mine growing up had one and I remember that dog was a son of a bitch to everyone except my friend's dad.

He didn't bite me, but I remember that dog was laying on near the TV remote and for whatever reason I was getting the remote and it snapped and growled at me. I picked him up and started petting him, then for the rest of the night, after his dad went to bed, he didn't leave my side.

You look like you got attacked by a wolverine.

I grew up with dachshunds, my parents had three of them over the years. They are mean as all hell. They were bred to hunt badgers, you need a savage attitude for that.

Have to admit, I’m not a fan of them.

We had a dog that did that to me several times. The last time I had him by the throat with him making gurgling sounds. My wife was freaking out so I allowed him to live. She couldn’t bring herself to let me have him put to sleep. He was a catahoula mix, scared of his own shadow, hated kids, passive aggressive to the point of destroying 3 couches, had extreme food aggression, bi-polar, etc. I hated that dog. He had an attachment to my wife and she was soft hearted, up until the day he screwed up and bit her. He was sent to doggie hell after that. She made the decision without my input. LOL

I hope you can look at the big picture regarding being bitten. Dachshunds typically have a razor thin attitude. Has anything changed recently in your home? Our dachshund has bitten my wife and daughter, each on a separate occasion. The dog bit when startled while sleeping both times.

I hope you are able to work things out with your pup. I am not judging. Dogs by and large will not bite unless provoked or scared. Cesar Milan (the dog whisperer) says there is no such thing as a bad dog. There are just bad dog owners. He is basically referring to the relationship between dogs and their owners.

Hang in there. Don't give up on your pup. Hopefully things work out. Take care!

If it was a pit you would be dead
