Daschund Rottweiler mix???

Question

I am going to be looking at a 8mo old Daschund Rottweiler mix tomorrow and when i googled it,i just got one awful story....according to the owner,he is a very sweet,cuddly,playful dog that is great with kids and other dogs and he looks like a weiner dog except that his fur is rougher than your typical Daschund and he's heavier than your average weiner dog.Now,I have a 2 1/2 yr old and a 7yr old and without any research available online...i tried three search engines...I can only go by what i see tommorrow and by maybe someone having had an encounter with a mix as strange as this or maybe someone who knows enough about dogs to give me a heads up on what to expect.He says that the dog doesn't bark alot and does like to chew shoes and can be a little michevious when left alone but personally i think that he does that because his last two owners worked alot and locked him in a room and thats why he was destructive.I'm a stay at home mom and will be able to give him attention.Any tips?

The first owner was the second owners girlfriends mother...yeah....and her work sched changed so she gave him to this guy who had to move from an apt to a room in a house and works weird hours...and i'm not buying it...he's giving it away and i was very straight about my concerns and questions...i am getting this dog for my little one because since i pet sit for a friend,she has started talking so much more!She uses Amrican Sign Language.Anyways...what qualitys of these two dogs are going to come out and how on earth did that happen anyway?This mix is just as weird as a question i saw about a girl wanting to mate a rabbit and a squirll....i was told he doesnt bite and i'm from NJ so i was very blunt with telling this guy not to f with me...and that if i noticed any probs,he's be getting the dog back or it would have to go to the pound sadly enough...my kids come first.Thats how this whole dog idea came about to begin with...to help my daughter speak.

PS...I was told he was really cute and cuddles alot...he's just been neglected...i think any dog can be trained...i will be meeting him in...a little more than 12 hrs...dun dun dun...i was told he looks like a weiner dog with rotti fur and stands 8inches tall on all fours and is long and weighs 20lbs witch is alot for a daschund and i'm not sure where they got that mix but he says he's sure that thats what he is...i just dont want my house ...or excuse me...my apt tore up...but training and rewarding and time outs so to speak will help....right?????

Answer 1

don't ever leave a toddler alone with any dog.

the dog is still young enough for you to train, though it may take more work than if he was younger.
make sure you have him fixed, first. second, every few days or so, take his food bowl from him for a minute while he is eating. this establishes dominance, so he knows you are in charge and will be more likely to obey you. when he is used to this, also have your children feed him and take away his food for a minute, while you supervise.
also teach him basic commands, so he remembers that he has to listen to you. make sure you keep him from jumping, this could be dangerous to your child. anytime he jumps on anyone, you need to push him to the ground and tell him no firmly.
if you have serious behavior problems, you may want to consider puppy training classes. he is still young enough for this to work.

if you want to be really sure he is good with your kids, just make sure they always feed him and give him any treats he gets, even if it is just handing the bowl to your child to put on the floor. also make sure you talk to your kids about the dog and how they should treat him.

The "dash hounds" like my dad called them tend to be more rowdy than Rottweilers.
Rottweilers are built big and thick and most of all smart yet easy to handle. They are extremely loving and loyal.
They were first bred by the Romans as war dogs. So they have to be comfortable around large groups of people, which is why they are really easy going. They do know, like all dogs do, when the right time is to go full-fang.

If a daschhund is mated with a Rott, it is either the Rott was the father, or he had to stand on a chair.
It sounds a lot, from the description, that he has the Rottweiler temperament, and brains. That is the best thing in a dog, especially around kids. He will definitely keep the Uglies out of the house.

Oh and chewing heavy leather stuff like that means he probably has the Rottweiler face as well.

I once had an elderly lady for a friend. She had a wonderful little dog. A mix of some sort. She had the dog trained well and it behaved very well. Learn here https://tr.im/zLXs2

She kept an uncovered candy dish on her coffee table with candy in it. The dog was forbidden to eat the candy. When she was in the room observing the dog he did not even appear to notice the candy. One day while she was in her dinning room she happened to look in a mirror and could see her dog in the living room. He did not know he was being watched. For several minutes he was sitting in front of the candy bowl staring at the candy. Finally he reached in and took one. He placed it on the table and stared at it, he woofed at it. He stared some more, licked his chops and PUT IT BACK in the bowl and walked away. Did he want the candy, oh yeah. Did he eat it? Nope. They can be trained that well but most, I'll admit, are not trained that well. When I was a young boy, maybe 5 years old. We had a german shepherd. He was very well trained also. My mom could leave food unattended on the table, no problem. She would open the oven door and set a pan roast beef or roast chicken on the door to cool. No problem. He would not touch it, watched or not. But butter? Whole other story. You leave a stick of butter anywhere he could reach and it was gone. He was a large shepherd so there were not many places he could not reach. Really, I think the number of dogs trained to the point they will leave food alone when not being supervised is very small indeed.
.
Now if we are talking obedience training, not food grubbing, that is a different story. Way back when I was first learning obedience training one of the final exercises was to put our dogs in a down/stay and not only leave the room but leave the building for 15 minutes. The only person that stayed was our trainer, not the owners. Most of the dogs in my class did not break their stay, which would be an automatic fail. I'm happy to report my dog was one of the ones that passed.

Daschund Rottweiler mix.....that must have been some romance.

If the dog has company most of the day, you shouldn't have much of a problem breaking him of his bad habits. Usually, a dog will chew out of frustration and fear of being alone. They are pack animals and your family represents his pack.

Good luck....I can't imagine what that poor pooch looks like.

Do they really know he is a Dachshund/rottie mix or did they make it up as a guess? That could make a difference. If they know for a fact that he is a pure dachshund and pure rottie mix then reseach both breeds.

There are a lot of tips here to look at. Start crate training and the nothing in life is free practice.

As far as what the dog will be like and what characteristics it has you will just wait and see. With genetics you can't pick and chose traits so there is no way of knowing what part of the rottie's instinct he has and what for the dachshund. Prepare for both.

First of all, a dog that height, length and weight is up for serious medical problems in the not so far away future. By age 5 or 6 I bet it will have a slipped disc in its spine, or worse. It is a mix that sets it up for a lot of physical pain in the future. Weiner dogs have so many spine issues already, without adding the extra 6 pounds.
Then, I would be careful. Neither breed is known for always being consistent, and both have a reputation for biting or nipping. For me, I would not take that chance. There are a lot of mixed breed smaller dogs that would have a great personality. This one might, but I would never trust it and would always have my eyes on it.

But, I wish you luck, whatever you decide.

Hi, I understand that you are looking for some advice or resources to help fully train your dog or fix behavior problems. If a professional dog trainer is not an option at this time, or if you want to trt training your dog on your own (a great way to bond), I'd suggest you https://biturl.im/aU7Zb

A friend recommened it to me a few years ago, and I was amazed how quickly it worked, which is why I recommend it to others. The dog training academy also has as an excellent home training course.
