[QUOTE=ChronoGrl;754587]I WANT THEM I WANT THEM I WANT THEM
I. LOVE dachshunds!! My boyfriend has already noped me on the suggestion that we get one, though. He claims that they're one of the stupider dog breeds... I'm actually curious - Is it true? Are they any dumber than any other breed?
...
The truth about Doxies is that they are one of the smartest breeds, they are just VERY stubborn and difficult to train. Lizzie came from a puppy mill, and had NO socialization with dogs or humans. After 10 litters in 5 years, she came to us, and now we're almost 3 years into having her, and she will sit on the couch with us, just not on us. The other 2 are VERY snuggly. Indy and Maggie will lay all over daddy when I am in my chair, and they sleep with us. Indy came trained from a mill in Indiana, and Maggie was a pup from a breeder in Tillamook, on the Oregon coast. They understand simple commands, and will even sometimes listen :D .
This breed is so loyal and once you are the forever mom, you belong to them .
Indy says "you totally need a Doxie"
