Dachsador

Adopted him from a rescue association. He had been tied up and beaten. He bonded very quickly with both myself and my son, wonderful dog, very smart and extremely obedient. Loves cuddles!! Just a joy to know him :)

He's been the best "first dog owner" experience I could have asked for. We rescued him at 6 months (no trauma, owner surrendered due to a new born & toddler in house). He and our 14 year old cat have gotten along since day one, and their bond grows every day. He can be stubborn, but he's a lover, and will do anything to please us. A true cuddler, he's always by my side when we're together.

I rescued her at just 4 weeks old. She was separated from her mother too young so she has some anxiety issues, but she is hopelessly devoted to me. I am the only mama she’s ever really had. Smart as a whip and she has me well trained!

Whip smart mixed breed. Stoic in nature, doesn't fear much. Enjoys intense bouts of fetch with a tennis ball. Loves to cuddle up at night and sleep with us. He's a dog's dog with a sweet streak.

I owned a dachsador, since she was 5 months, for 8 years before she passed away in November of 2017. She was the best dog i’ve ever encountered. She was always ready for an adventure or a snuggle on the couch She was very obedient and easy to train; eager to please as well. She was a funny looking dog and had a curly tail and stubby legs with a lab head. She was my velcro dog. Contrary to popular belief, she loved small rodents and cats, and did bark and howl a lot. She did shed a lot though but had excellet health. She was a bit shy when meeting people but very quickly warmed up. She was also very smart and emotionally responsive dog. As you can tell i miss her very much and think about her every day.

Adopted her, very loving to all people and other animals, loves her stuffed animal toys. vet advised to keep her weight down to prevent later back and hip issues.

Very hard to train! Still not totally housebound and barks a lot,but the sweetest cuddler ever

I adopted my baby at 3 months old!! He and I have a special bond! He loves to play fetch and he’s super good at it! He is very obedient. He absolutely loves to cuddle, he’s my little snuggle bug. He gets along very well with my other dog , she is 2 years old. Frodo is vey smart too, he is a routine oriented dog. Such a great mix!!

Wonderful dog, lots of spirit, but protective of me and doesn’t take to other people right away. He’s a beautiful chocolate brown with white diamond on his chest. Beautiful gold eyes. He weighs 45 lbs!

Mags is extremely affectionate with me and my husband. Our boys are identical twins (17 years old) she will play with them a little but I think they are a little to rough and she gets "intimidated very easily. Our older dog is a Cocker Spaniel (Peter Meissner). Outside they run very fast with each other and play like crazy. She never leaves Pete and if they get separated he will go get her for us. Sometimes inside I put them separate because Pete does not like constant closeness. He growled and snap at her once. He didn't bite her or touch her at all but she let out a scream so loud and and ran to me in terror. He was told that was not acceptable in this house. With his (brothers being very prone to fighting things out) I have a zero tolerance for any kind of physical solving of problems.

These are sweet dogs, who love people are are easily socialized. They are snuggly, love to be held and cuddle. Housebreaking has been a bit challenging, however.

Sadie is a rescue and was adopted 3 weeks ago after our beloved Jack Russell, Abbie, crossed the bridge. We are loving every moment with Sadie even her puppiness.

Very energetic puppy. He barks hard if he wants to poop, eat or drink. We put him on the cage at night because he tends to eat and chew everything he sees. He is not fond of kids.

Sweet dog, 40 lb lap dog, loves his family (both human and canine), and welcomes friendly strangers into his home. Barks loudly at everything, loves to play with other dogs, chases small animals, and loves to play with toys. Very unsure of strangers outside of his home. Does it like small, unfamiliar children.

He is my first dog and so far my favorite and best dog. He is very good and loving and while he does bark at strangers he is usually very excited to meet people and other animals. All though he does seem to bark at supposedly nothing but it's not bad.

Lucy was found as a street dog in rural Dallas County raising a litter of pups. After a year with foster families, we chose each other. It was love and trust from the start. Lucy and I have been together 4 years. Lucy is the apartment complex greater when out on walks. She has never met someone she doesn't introduce herself to. Lucy has barked exactly 5 times in the 4 years we've been together. Lucy is a mild mannered companion who loves to sunbathe whether its 105 or 35 degrees outside. She sleeps with me every night.

He's very loveable , everyone loves him & he's extremely smart & learns quickly, he's always with us,loves to travel

She is really energetic and stubborn.

Bama was a rescue pup. He was born inside. He was very skittish at first. But in the almost 9 months we have had him, he has learned what being loved and spoiled is all about. He is a wonderful dog. This is the breed I will always want to have in the future.

I adopted Darla as a gsd/lab mix,we soon discovered no gsd traits in her at all. Searching the internet we came upon pics of doxadors,sure enough Darla looked just like them. Darla has transformed children extremely fearful of dogs into dog lovers. Her laid back,sensitive nature let them pet and snuggle her. Then children now own a rambunctious dog. Darla gets terribly carsick,slightly better with time,hope that camping this year might correct this more.

He’s loving and caring. Always wants hugs and to lay under someone

Very cuddly. Likes to bark. Likes to lick everything.

Conner insists on sleeping under the blankets when possible. He is very friendly towards people, but not as outgoing with other dogs. He is fond of our 7 month old cat and always gets along with her, even trying to play. Most of the time, all he wants to do is relax and hang out with mom & dad.

Very easy to train, fast learner, active, very smart

Simon is a very loving dog, but is very nervous around small children. He loves to play in our yard, and chase squirrels. He seems to think he's a forty pound lap dog, and loves to cuddle. He has anxiety issues and barks quite a lot when alone, and he does have an occasional seizure :( Other than that he's very healthy and a great addition to our family

I love my boy he is smart, sweet,and my best friend.

In the beginning I'll admit will be hard just bc of teaching them how to go potty outside but after you have mastered that it gets easier u always want to potty train them as puppys so much easier

Been great from the start, needed someone that’s going to be nice with kids and he’s perfect. Laid back and doesn’t cause a disturbance. Just wants attention and love!

My 3 Daschsadors are turning 2yrs old in August. They are bonded sisters & never leave each others side. They are extremely hyper & very LOUD guard dogs & bark threateningly at EVERYTHING & they NEVER stop licking! They love to play but cant go to the dog park because they refuse to walk on a leash (& will lay down on their sides pretending to be dead! lbvs). They HATE baths, rain, water & cleanliness of any sort & love to dig, roll in the dirt & be as smelly as possible! They are a definite HANDFUL but are so loyal,loving & adorable! We love them dearly!

She’s a Princess! Totally spoilt but super sweet! Perfect company, we do everything together. Love to ride in the car, going to parks and play with other dogs, she’s really friendly and sweet. The whole neighborhood knows her!

He is extremely playful, cheerful and outgoing. Likes children. Likes our guests. He hates the neighbour's cat. The tolerance of other dogs differs from friendship to hatred. Hard to walk on leash he could really pull the sledge :-) extremely affectionate. Loves sleeping under the blanket. Best friend ever

Our Lo Lo is a great dog! She has grown up with our 4 year old son, and they are the best of friends. She loves to roll around and wrestle with him on the trampoline! She has been very patient with him and never tried to bite anyone. The only problem we have with her is her barking at every living creature she sees, and she can spot a deer or squirrel a mile away. But overall, she’s wonderful and I would recommend one of her breeds to any family with children.

I love my little one. I originally got him as a stray dog around 2-3 years old and he was poorly treated and ran away from everyone. But such a sweet year when I got to know him. A lot of people in the neighborhood tried to catch him but he was a jokester and loved to be chased. One day because he lived in the woods behind my house, I noticed how starving he was and fed him since then he willing came into my home and I washed him and that was it. After a few months, we moved to New York and he is like a different dog now. At first he was wary with children but has learned to be kinder though it’s been tuff cus anyone who is scared of him he immediately fears back and barks and boy it’s a loud one that scared people! It took a while for him to get use to people especially the little ones. But 3 years later and I popped one of my own and thought he’s so mean with her he’s not sweetest either lol I think he’s just getting use to her since she is now one and a half. The only concern of this bread would be the health issues because since I took him in he’s had A LOT. I have had to get him to the vet because the usual medicine I would give him for heart worm was not strong enough and he was being eaten alive and almost died. Then he has a benign cyst in between him toe ( must of been there from before I has him) and wouldn’t heal with dissected so we had to cut off a toe (he still walks fine despite he is bo-legged too) and recently we figured out he has many allergies to mold, storage mites, ragweed and even cats! Which he has had two cats friends in his lifetime. So that’s interesting! Anyway, he is very good at learning but because of his masculinity he is very focused on mostly my boyfriend who I see he sees a Alfa and when he’s around doesn’t listen to me as much lol overall, this is just my experience and I hope you choose this dog for all the wonderful reasons otherwise. He’s so sweet and playful.

No experience whatsoever - I am a new dog owner

She was usually very energetic, but lately the arthritis has made her sleep and rest a lot

She loves being with us and goes out with us often. Very affectionate with us and kids. Loves to play and watch/chase rabbits and squirrels. Very obedient, easy to train and curious.

I've had Lana since she was 5 weeks old and here's our experience. 1. Health: be aware, the dog is about 35lbs on average and that's a lot of weight on a long spine. Choose your furniture height wisely as well as you don't want to have stairs in your home. Reverse sneezing and allergies are very common. 2.G She sheds a LOT. Even with regular brushing. Nails are very long even after clipping. 3. Super and I mean SUPER friendly. Will be a best friend to any stranger. If you get another puppy or a cat, she will raise it as her own. 4. Energy. High energy and always wants to play, however, will get tired in 20-30 minutes depending on the activity. 5. Trainability: VERY smart. I easily trained her to potty, to be non food and treats aggressive, to be non aggressive when her ears, teeth and everything else is touched. ALL kinds of cool tricks! She is stubborn though and a hunter, I was never able to trainer her walking without leash. Keep in mind, this dog gets depressed when home alone. It's best if you have kids or other dogs. This dog needs companionship all the time.

Doodlebop was the a perfect additional to our family. When we adopted him he was 8 weeks old my children were 16,7,5,& 3. He loved being with his family and chasing lizards. He never grew tall just long at his heaviest he was 65lbs.
