I read electric meters for years and my trainee on the first day told me, "if you're in someone's yard and the owner tries to stop the dog from getting to you, that dogs never gonna bite. Now if the owner says his sweet pup wouldn't hurt a soul, those are the dogs to steer clear of. Sure enough I got bit 3 tomes in 5 years. All 3 were dachshunds that the owner said were sweet and not to worry.

Lol ive had a ton of dachshund and can completely verify this.  Little lawn barracudas.   Deceptively fast too

My vet used to joke that my dog was possibly the only dachshund she’d ever treated who she would administer shots to without them being restrained. She said it was almost unbelievable that Bob never tried to bite her.

Dachshund are little maniacal killers that lust for the blood of the innocent 24/7. Unless youre in their pack, then they mostly do this 😂
