You really have to watch out for those ankle-biters.
Really! Doxies are fierce, I’ve seen one face off with a badger, and badgers can be wicked!
These were not dachshunds.
I agree...notice that they are described as dachshund-TERRIER mix. Hmmm...isn’t there a breed called Pitbull TERRIER? I have a feeling there should be more emphasis on the TERRIER side of the mix.
If you will keyword FreeRepublic Articles for the last week, using either “dog” or “pitbull”, in General/Chat, you will find the information that Amanda Dinwiddie
1) Did not euthanize these dogs.
2) Is not a veterinarian.
3) Is a pit bull owner and propagandist.
EXTERMINATE THE BREED!
Pit Sheltie.
She was a winner...
Terriers can be mean little shits when they aren’t properly trained. But I have always found dauchsands to be very miled mannered dogs.
Too many people own dogs that shouldn’t be allowed to.

“in some dogs (and in some humans) the primary symptom of their Lyme Disease can be sudden, irrational and serious aggression.”
But they all thought they were pit bulls right.
Nick Lowe reference! Nice!
i dont think anyone said they were dachshunds. The story said most of the dogs were dachshund-terrier mix. Based on their appearance Id say thats a pretty accurate description.
Of course, the dachshund was originally bred to hunt badgers, so they are short-legged little bad-asses, and would be perfectly capable of perpetrating a fatal attack on a person - especially a pack of them.
Did you watch the video and see the dogs. Apart from being dogs, they have virtually none of the typical characteristics of pit-bulls. Its more likely they are mutts which are predominantly dachshund and rat-terrier (or other similar smaller terrier).
No, I hadn’t noticed there was a video, but I just watched it now. The one thing I noticed from the video is that they said the dogs were knee high and max 40lbs. which is small for a pit bull but way too large for a dachshund—that poor woman!
