dachshund

Time to learn and laugh at the time time, because when twitter decides to teach you something about dogs, it is bound to be funny. A desperate plea for information about dachshunds from a very confused dog owner went viral, and people replied in the masses, sharing stories about not only their experiences with meeting dachshunds and raising dachshunds but also actual information that'll teach you why these small pooches behave the way they do. 

This is the perfect thread for all of us confused dog lovers out there that want to learn but have no patience for it, because with funny viral tweets like these, you will not be able to stop reading even if you wanted to. So, enjoy, and next time you'll walk past a dachshund, at least you'll know why it's attempting to kill you.

There is... something about dachshunds that is different than other dogs... Even though they're so little, they are just... so dang intimidating. We can't help it, when we walk past them on the streets, we always have to take a moment and move away - can't risk the wrath of a dachshund. 

But, unfortunately for this tumblr user, it's family must have wronged a dachshund at some point in their lives, because now they are cursed. The father has been bitten and left scarred, the girl is being followed by a dachshund in school. This curse is real, and it is terrifying. ...It's also kind of hilarious though. 

Oh boy, oh boy, oh boy, it's time for some fresh doggo memes of everyone's favorite Halloween dog - the wiener. They're long, they're small, they're great dogs (sometimes) because they're jerks (a lot of times), and though we love them, they hate us - at least when we make them wear wiener costumes. 

Still, the dachshund is a dog that is extremely underappreciated, so we think it's time to give it some love in the best way possible - through wiener memes. Because maybe if we give them some more love, they'll stop trying to attack us when we made sudden movements. We're kiddiiiiing. Of course we're kidding. Wieners are great dogs... most of the time. Time to give them some love!

Meet Ru! She's a miniature dachshund who has gotten so round, due to pregnancy, that Twitter users can't get enough of that belly! 

Twitter user, @tiniebear, shared the photos of her pregnant dog and it didn't take long for the tweet to go viral! Other users began to chime in, sending pics of their pups sending love, or just pics that hold the same energy. But we'll never not jump on the chance to share as many doggos as we possibly can! 

Congrats to mama Ru and to @tiniebear! We love that belly, but can't wait for the pupdate on the puppies! 

100 adorable sausage dogs wearing Christmas jumpers turned London's Hyde Park into the ultimate holiday cute zone and we can't think of anything cuter than that! 

The Christmas Sausage Dog Walk took place in London's Hyde Park a few days ago, drawing together a pack of cute-as-can-be Dachshunds from all over the British capital and we have some photos to show you. 

This year's festive event also helped raise money for The Red Foundation, a non-profit charity that provides shelter, sanctuary and medical treatment for unfortunate Dachshunds in need of help.

This dog is definitely the king of balancing! 

Nicknamed Harlso the Balancing Hound, this dachshund has a knack for balancing all sorts of objects on his head, from succulents to soccer balls, cups of coffee to slices of pizza. Harlso's owner, Paul Lavery of Belfast, Ireland, discovered the hidden talent after he placed a toy on the pup's head one day, watching as Harlso didn't falter. "For us, we didn't know he knew any tricks, we tried teaching him to sit, lie down, roll over and he wasn't interested," Lavery said, according to SWNS reporting. For those concerned with Harlso's well-being as he steadies new items on his noggin, Lavery assures he never uses anything "too heavy or too dangerous."

With over 110K followers, his Instagram page is one of the cutest things you will see today. 

You might recall from a few weeks ago, the story we covered of the pregnant two-year-old Dachshund named Sugar. Sugar had a gorgeous maternity shoot that was captured by the talented Laura Shockley.

Well, as one would hopefully expect with any pregnancy... the puppies have arrived! And they're so deliciously cute, we want to gobble up all those mini-sugar pups! 

And to celebrate the occasion, Laura Shockley once again photographed the new family and just a warning, there will be definite squeals -- out loud and in your heart. 

Prepare yourself for some serious cuteness!

Is there anything more darling than a maternity shoot? Sure there is! If your model just happens to be a loyal, pure of heart, good girl two-year-old Dachshund named Sugar! 

Sugar is expecting her first litter and who better to capture the moment than Washington-based photographer Laura Shockley? Laura Shockley specializes in maternity, as well as, newborn shoots. She made headlines last year due to her gasp-worthy shot of a newborn ecstatically outstretching his arms, as if thrilled to have finally arrived into this world.

Now, Shockley is sharing her newest photo-shoot via Facebook featuring a pregnant pup! "This little momma is going to grace us with some short legged puppers soon! I can not wait for the next milestone session for her, the grandmother (me) 'purchased' her the maternity/newborn package!," Laura wrote. 

Shockley told PopSugar that Sugar is, "getting close to the end of her pregnancy and we took her for a day filled with pup cups and peanut butter treats, [and] it ended with her maternity session. If people can feel special on their photo shoot days, so can Sugar!"

We are definitely on-board with that! 

Complete with images of Sugar rocking a flower crown and tulle, and surrounded by a field of flowers, here is Sugar's gorgeous and one-of-a-kind photo-shoot: 

He can balance almost anything on his adorable little head, but food seems to be his specialty.
