I like Weiners! And being FIRST!
What a coincidence,
Your mom said the exact same thing last night.
Nice username.
You freaking stole my comment. I wanted to say that!
But…what else are we supposed to do when overwhelmed by utter cuteness? WIENER DOGS!! (I love Dachsies!)
Seconded! I wish I could afford to keep one; they’re like little hotdog-shaped wads of furry love.
As a dachshund owner, I can confirm that this graph is 100% correct.
That is why when I eventually own one, I will name it “Frank”.
Haha. You are actually one of the funnier people on here.
‘A serious question about the breed’
Is it possible to ask a serious question about a dachshund? They DO look a little ridiculous. Next time, get a cool ‘mystery’ breed from a shelter – they are awesome, and way more fun.
that may be because it is a weiner dog.
this.
I am curious as to what “serious questions” one could ask about the breed.
Stuff like how much it costs to take care of them, do the get back problems, what do they eat, etc…
…do you know your dogs are ridiculous…have you ever stepped on one… do other dogs try to eat them….
One of the dachshunds I owned was bitten to death by a great dane that very likely thought she was a rabbit or cat or something. She loved to dart in and out of bushes and hunt for snails and stuff, which she didn’t eat, but just crushed and spit out.
So, it was a tragic and unfortunate accident, but I suppose that means that, yes, sometimes other dogs try to eat them.
oh god that is the best story I’ve ever heard. great danes ftw
Yah, being set up for back issues AND being the perfect size to be stepped on… not a good combination.
Well, they were originally bred for hunting badgers. I think you could ask a serious question about that!
you CAN get a pure breed at an animal shelter, you don’t have to go to a pet store or breeder. there are also numerous breed specific rescues for almost every breed of dog out there. why would anyone buy from a breeder or pet store when they could rescue a dog in need? convenience and laziness, that’s the only reason.
i will always be on the “activist phuktard” side on this issue. i’m no raving peta person or anything even close, but with all the dogs out there in need of homes, to give money to a non-rescue, for-profit business is just wrong.
Yay! Activist phuktards UNITE! And I also chuck those PETA leaflets in the bin.
I dunno whether purebreeds are about convenience though – isn’t it as easy to go to a shelter? I think it’s maybe just not really thinking about it. If everyone really looked into both choices properly, (as well as having a conscience and really caring about dogs) I don’t see how they could go to a breeder instead of rescuing an animal. It’s like chucking away a chocolate cake (an awesome tasty chocolate cake that will love you forever no less!) because it’s not a brand-name chocolate cake.
…kind of.
No, it’s not always easier to go to a shelter. The ones where I live are all chock full of pit-bull mixes with behavior issues. While I agree that it is very unfortunate that dogs end up like that, the fact remains that I do not want a maladjusted fighting dog for a pet.
Because all pit bulls are maladjusted fighting dogs, you guys!
Even if a shelter has 5 pitties for every wiener dog, no one’s forcing you to adopt them. I help at a shelter that has a fair amount of both kinds. You can pick! It is shocking, I know.
(But the pit bulls are nicer. LITTLE DOG IS LITTLE).
I’ve volunteered at a shelter for several months and I’ve really grown to hate it when people make comments like this. Even if the place is 50% to 80% full pit mixes (which it typically isn’t) does that really matter? Do they somehow ooze magical pit-mix poison onto the OTHER dogs at the shelter (not that they are bad dogs at all)?
What, they don’t yell “Don’t trip over your weiner!”?
Did you get dachshunds so you could be asked “serious questions” about them or something?
I get the same thing… I have two dachunds and my aunt raises them. All people can do is pull weiner jokes.
Ok same graph, but change the breed to English Bulldog, and the Red section would be renamed “It’s an Uga!!!” (The mascot of the University of Georgia)
Do they realy suffocate on their own tongues in hot weather?
Why yes, yes they do!
Its “Wiener”, because the sausage is named after “Vienna” the main city of austria (arnold schwarzenegger). And in german (which is spoken in austria) the citys name is “Wien”.
So its a “Wiener Dog”. A “Weiner” is a whiner.
THANK YOU from saving me the effort of posting that. Annoying, isn’t it?
WEINER DOG XD
Someone once told me my wiener dog was princely…Weird.
The preferred spelling is w-I-E-n-e-r.
What? Nobody ever says “you has a hotdog”?
no because no one goes there. that site sucks ass
They get called “sausage dogs” here in the UK and to be honest this isn’t true for me when i’m walking my dachshund, except maybe from kids
Go walk your mutt and get the hell out of this convo wombot. Our dogs will outlive your manky mutt by a long shot.
Jerk
Mutts live longer on average
True that. *nods seriously*
They call ‘em sausage dogs over here. Although we usually just call ‘em dachels.
Totally true.
I get the same thing.
difference is, I don’t even own a dachshund, I’ve got a Petit Basset Griffon Vendeen, which doesn’t even RESEMBLE a Dachshund.
Anyway, ‘sausage dog’ is demeaning, dachshund means ‘badger dog’ in German and is a note of how fierce and fearless and loyal they are, that they will run underground and take on a badger if their owners say so. For those of you who scoff at the idea of a badger being scary, trust me, I had one galloping (do badgers gallop?) across a road straight at me, and I wasn’t going to hand about to argue with it.
Although it probably wasn’t going to hurt me, I wasn’t going to let it decide.
Plus, they’re not even hot-dog shaped. They’re normal dog shaped with shorter legs.
Same with my breed.
Responses I get when walking my papillon:
1. Serious question about the breed
2. “Aw! How cute!”
3. “Is that a chihuahua?”
Well is it?
I have 2 dachshunds…1 is a puppy, the other about 4 yrs old. They are so great, and get lots of attention when we are out walking them! And yes, the two comments I hear the most often are “how cute!!” and of course “WIENER DOG!!!”.
Lol, replace the red with “it’s a snow dog” and possibly add a section saying “is that a cat” and that’s the response I get to my Siberian Husky’s…though the cat question was more common when they really little and seen from behind, it’s the ears I guess…
this is the most useless, stupid graph I’ve ever seen
As a dachshund owner I too confirm that this graph is 100% correct.
We are currently staying in Spain and took our little Dachshund with us. Most people either think he is a puppy (he is 7 years old) or they call him ‘perro salchicha’- sausage dog. Our Dachshund loves attention anyway and he gets a lot!
Did you know that dachshund translates into German as, “Badger Dog’ Quite frankly I was expecting some thing like, “The yappiest thing on the planet to the power of the sum of Chuck Norris and Mr. T” I was disappointed though.
Isn’t this also the chart of the process of buying a dachsand?
