We'd like another cat, but our last one was one of those goofy, friendly cats, that was part of a pack of Dachshunds. But Lucky was already grown when he was introduced to teeny tiny wiener dog puppies. We'd have to find a laid back cat that was good with dogs, but people don't get rid of those kind 'n trying to introduce a kitten to grown Dachshunds does NOT work. They're like a living squeaky toy that the dogs will terrify into cat psychosis at best.
The "puppy" & the female would kill a kitten on sight. For some reason, these two, both short hairs have that crazy prey drive, though she doesn't hunt as actively as he does. Our long haired male littermates get excited when they see a critter, but they're much more docile & neither have that killer instinct.
I get that some people breed Dachshunds for a docile, pet temperament. It's cute & they're still goofy & sweet, but I like mine with their original hunting dog instincts & drive intact & at least a little bit crazy. It makes them so much funnier & more interactive, IMO & are very, very clever little dogs. Plus, there's that vermin control thing they do, which is a bonus, IMO. Had long haired female in Germany whose grandsire had been a 7-time International Working Dog Champion. Breeder hunted Russian boar with his- to jump, track & run hogs & the bravest of 'em would bey & sometimes try to catch it. Brave to the point of rashness. That girl dog went 32 lbs. Broad shouldered little brute of a dog. If she caught you mid stride while out for a walk, you were going down.
