My dog is 2 yrs old and still hates strangers.
We take him to soccer games, softball games, dog park, etc. don't matter

I must confess, my wife bought him, I said OK and didn't research the breed
Are they all so protective like this generally speaking?
 
My friend had one and he was fine

Thats the only experience I got though.
 
In my limited experience, I’ve never seen a friendly one. They’re always nasty little fuckers.
I've never met one till we got him.
He's perfect if he knows you..he's 12 lbs
 
Those little yippy dogs will always bark at people when they come through the door and take mins to calm down.


They are usually fine after that though.
 
Nevermind LOL! my friend's dog is a miniature Pinscher
 
We used to have a long haired one and he was awesome. Never any issues with strangers but had a strong hunting instinct.
 
I've been around a few in my life and I've never met an outgoing one. They're either overly aggressive and hate everyone or shit scared of everything. It's like they're too small for the world and everything is big and scary to them.

My best friend has one that is very anxious of everything and barks non stop if it doesn't know you. Takes him a long time to warm up to you, but once he does he's very loving and playful.
 
My friend had a dachsund/chiuaua mix thing, and that fucker was way too trusting and friendly.
 
I'm not sure if you know, but you can train those things to get rid of anti-social behavior.
 
My neighbor has one. Poorly trained little shit that I would like to punt through the uprights.
 
Ive been a dachshund owner my whole dog owning career. Ive had two mini shorthairs both red and loved them to death. Ill always be a dachshund owner and plan to get a couple more down the road when we get a yard. This is the type Ill be getting next.

My peeve are dumb ones, and dachshunds are almost never dumb. Extremely smart dogs but are stubborn with house breaking unfortunately. They just want to go where they want. Ive heard this from more than several owners and experienced myself but overall smart as whips.

Extremely loyal dogs and will consider you their territory so I guess thats where the unfriendliness comes from but both mine were extremely friendly and loved people. They don't like the door ringing and strangers coming to the door though and for whatever reason had bellowing barks. Everyone says they think its a bigger dog from behind the door its incredible.

My last is very old and spends most of his time with my mom now. Beautiful dogs.
 
A lot of them seem to really hate my dog, I think they're jealous of his legs.
 
My family owned three different dachsunds growing up, all minis, and two were friendly to everyone, always wanted to be petted, loved kids, never snapped at anyone no matter what. They were both male.

The female...she was a bitch.
