Mini Dachshunds Turn Every Moment Into A Wrestling Match And It's The Cutest Chaos
Miniature dachshunds are famously sweet, so fashion influencer Tanner assumed her little sausage dogs would be marvels of gentleness. And they are — when they're not causing mayhem! The pups turn everywhere they go into a wrestling ring, whether they're prowling around a rug or sitting on a child's lap. A TikTok compilation of the duo's wild wrestling matches uses the caption "the gloves are off."
@tanner_mann the gloves are off 🤣🐾 #dachshund #minidachshund
For dogs, wrestling is often a form of play. Tanner's doxies never try to inflict real damage; they're satisfied with grappling and trading pounces. Neither hogs the dominant position, another proof that they're friends engaged in a game. A commenter asked Tanner if she'd adopt two dachshunds again now that she knows the chaos that ensues, and she replied that she would "do it over & over." She even joked that she's ready for a third when a different commenter mentioned that they have three furry sausages running around their home.
When two dogs are better than one
Caring for two pups is often easier than caring for one. You don't have to worry about one dog getting lonely or missing out on canine games. The two dogs can learn from each other, too, sharing tricks such as how to behave around the dinner table and the best spot to store toys. If one pup is already trained, the second may barely need any help from you to adjust to the house.
You can adopt two zany puppies that grow up together like littermates, two adult dogs that learn to be besties, or a mixed-aged duo. It might seem as though a senior pooch has little in common with a sprightly younger dog, but the pairing can work out beautifully if you pay attention to temperament. Just don't expect love at first sight. When introducing two new dogs, go slow and don't leave them alone together until you're sure that it's safe.
