		<description>I have been adpoted by two doxies! I moved in with my boyfriend, who owns them and they took to me.  So much so that the male has proclaimed I am his person.  He now barks at my boyfriend if we are cuddling!</description>

Jewels likes to watch my hamsters run around in their cage but is afraid of them when I let her see them. when she was younger she had back surgery but it went well and shes back to her stubborn self</description>

		<description>It’s hard to imagine, how people have guts to write comments like that. I would  never write anything like this, because I would have thought what other would think of me after that. I know that it doesn’t matter who you are in Internet, you can act however you want, but anyway I would remember that a man should act nice and polite, no matter if he is online or offline</description>

		<description>I remember my first time on this website. My friend and I were looking for something totally new, something we haven’t read or heard about. We were so tired of college, and didn’t have too much time to go out. And we found this site, and now we come ever day to read some cool information or to discuss something with other people. It’s interesting to hear different points of view!</description>

		<description>I've got two Dackels (I'll explain this later), a brother and sister that are now three years old.  As a US military officer that has lived in Germany for many years, I acquired the pair via a specialized breeder in northern Bavaria.  As they come from I suppose what might call the "native stock," they are somewhat larger than most of their American cousins.  

It is quite interesting to read some of these comments from the "German" perspective, as we Americans often fail to realize that the hunting instincts of the breed remain extremely relevant in Germany, where it continues to be viewed as one of the best possible choices for the traditional Jaeger (hunter).  In addition to their purposeful geometry and fearless, independent nature, they are also extraordinarily-capable as scent trackers.
 
Of course, few Americans have any need for the dog in the hunting role, so the traits that are so essential to forest duties in Germany are more often viewed with simple amusement at home.  As noted elsewhere, they attack bugs, chase bird, and are willing to bark at most everything that moves.  On that note, if you aren't willing to put up with a fairly vocal breed, then this may not be the right choice for you.  Dackels have an unusually sonorous bark, and they tend to use it fairly often.  This can be regulated with training, but may be a concern if the dog spends a great deal of time alone in an apartment, for example.

Dackels do extremely well in a family setting, and while I no longer have young children, they are lively and social with every member of the household.  Their fierce intelligence and innate tendency to do as they please are far more entertaining than exasperating.  Whether they are following you around the house, nagging you to play with them, or burrowing under the covers in bed (where, thankfully, their short legs make them good sleeping partners), these dogs have the power to win over the hardest heart.  

Finally, I've used the term Dackel in lieu of Dachshund or "Doxie" throughout because the Germans do not (ever) use either of the terms with which we tend to be most familiar.  Here, the breed is known as the Dackel or Teckel, and in fact, the official standard bearer for the breed in Germany is the Deutscher Teckelklub (http://www.dtk1888.de/).

Looking for a big dog in a little package?  If so, you can probably end your search right here.</description>
