Dachshunds are hounds first & foremost. Mine are like short long beagles (1/2 a dog high, 1 & 1/2 a dog long!) in much of their behavior. So, they are prodigious “chewers”. I have a laundry basket of dog toys they crippled! The younger one really really likes to sing “The Song of His People” and any other tune that will get your attention the older one is much quieter. When he wants your attention, he’ll nudge you or sit in front of you and stare at you until you solve his problem. They both love kids. The favorite game with grandkids is ‘chase’. They chase ‘the kids’ then ‘the kids’ chase them. They’ll wear the ‘the kids’ out!
Too cool. Nothing like kids and dogs together.
