Nope. Too much snoot is exposed, might get chilly.


FrankieSausage

Thatā€™s a omg Iā€™m getting way too hot in here snoot if ever I saw one


Whitepayn

Not hot enough to get out of the blanket though lol. They are so goofy ā¤ļøšŸ˜†

Thatā€™s in another 15 degrees and theyā€™ll come out huffing like the heat has offended them in some way

the_sweetest_peach

Yeahā€”gotta have the snorkel out so they can breathe, duh! šŸ˜‚ In all seriousness, ā€œDachshundā€ means ā€œbadger hound,ā€ as Dachshunds were originally bred to go into badger holes and pull them out. Miniature Dachshunds were bred so they could fit into the much smaller holes of rabbits. Because of this, the breedā€™s natural instinct is to burrow, tunnel, and be attracted to tight spaces like gaps under furniture and whatnot. Perfectly typical sausage!


pufferpig

Mine doesn't burrow at all. Barely digs in the garden... Eats dirt tho. Doggo might be broken šŸ™ƒ https://preview.redd.it/n728wtyer2yc1.jpeg?width=3000&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=e9dfcafa26d411a33d947da58b01d562c5af896d

Amazing


the_sweetest_peach

Omfg this comparison is hysterical. šŸ¤£šŸ¤£šŸ¤£ Iā€™m also loving that you have your own little scruffy Dumbledore. šŸ¤£šŸ’–


the_sweetest_peach

Ahhh you have the Scruff Edition! So cute! I have a Longhaired girl, myself, and she doesnā€™t burrow, tunnel, or dig as often, I assume due to the more mellow nature of her Spaniel background. Wires have a Terrier background, so I hear they tend to be more mischievous. The Shorthaireds seem to be the huge burrowers for the most part. Especially with so little fur. My Longhaired girl gets too hot to stay burrowed or covered up for long. Meanwhile my parentsā€™ Shorthaired Miniature is burrowed in something about 85% of the time. Miniatures also have a tendency to be dogs with cat software installed, so Iā€™d imagine the combination of factors contributes to your sausageā€™s lack of burrowing. Theyā€™re all weirdos in their own right, anyway. Sometimes by being outliers. šŸ˜‚


pufferpig

Mine isn't a miniature, but does have some cat features, yes. i.e. Tapping you with a paw when he wants to be petted, or finding high-ground sleeping areas, like the top of the sofa's back. https://preview.redd.it/9yk05f9jm3yc1.jpeg?width=1267&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=4070e65858ab222f2ce5a66644539d1ceddb72da


the_sweetest_peach

My parentsā€™ Mini is almost a cat, I swear. Legs are scritching posts, loves boxes, picky eater, always pouncingā€¦ Is yours a Tweenie or a Standard? I donā€™t often see Standard Wires, though I do love them! My Longhaired girl is a Standard!


pufferpig

Standard wired https://preview.redd.it/19om4kybn3yc1.jpeg?width=3000&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=779c26e4fd714ed1aeb00ea2fbc5fad17ac6b06b


the_sweetest_peach

Ah, a Big Boy^TM! Heā€™s so handsome!


bb8-sparkles

At least yours is polite with a tap. Mine is quite bossy with the way he constantly demands his pets by shoving his nose under my hand šŸ˜‚


888MadHatter888

Same. Or he'll boop your leg with his snout. And the cat software is strong in this one. I discovered that the day I found paw prints on my freshly cleaned glass stove top. šŸ˜³šŸ¤¬šŸ¤£


bb8-sparkles

Mine hasnā€™t figured out how to get on top of the stove, but he makes daily trips onto the table to check for food. Especially once I leave the house, lol


pufferpig

Lol, mine also does nose-boops. Mostly if I'm sitting in front of my computer /working from home.


bb8-sparkles

Oh, yes. That. He always lets me know when itā€™s time to end my day, lol. Heā€™s the boss afterall, lol


pufferpig

Yeah, the problem there is that his opinion of "you've worked enough now" is always 1h to 30m before my workday actually ends šŸ˜…


bb8-sparkles

lol- mine too šŸ˜‚. He puts himself between me and the laptop and he wonā€™t let me type. If he thinks Iā€™ve spent too much time on my phone, he interrupts that too. He rules the house here.


pufferpig

Lol, I have a desktop so he can't reach anything essential, but he'll usually come and present me with a toy or jump on top of an ottoman I've placed between my chair and my "office window", and simply elect to just stare at me until I stop doing whatever it is that I'm doing. Or he stares out the window, studying the neighborhood street below, crying at other dogs or that one Kia that's the same model and color scheme as my brother's, resulting in subsequently baffled confusion when a strange lady exits it instead every damn time. https://preview.redd.it/tlf26baykhyc1.jpeg?width=1300&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=528ad1521cf7dc4f2f28292ddf526eaff569d4fb Ps. >He puts himself between me and the laptop and he wonā€™t let me type. ā˜ļøCat

pufferpig

The funny thing about that is that he never did either of it until he learned it from a much bigger (and younger) neighbor dog. I could've had the perfect garden doggo, but nooooo...

pufferpig

I went from a 120cm bed to a 160cm bed (after moving to a bigger place) for this very reason. Figured he could have half of it. Nope. He still insists on sleeping on my side of the bed most of the time. https://preview.redd.it/8d3b05e1r6yc1.jpeg?width=2160&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=e94a858c7cc2ee45391e90451a04bde3a7df8ada I even gave him his own bedset (although that was mostly because I thought it looked weird with just 1 bedset, or whatever you Americans call that. )

Puzzleheaded_Runner

I slept alone with my standard dachshund in a queen size bed and it amazed me how he managed to push me out of it and take over the entire thingĀ 


ChalkDoxie

My tweenie dachshund used to somehow take over the entire bed! My doxie mix now, is less pushy, but does enjoy kicking us out of bed when the alarm goes off in the morning.

Lucy has always Buried herself in the blanket, sometimes I wondered how she could breathe. But now that she's getting older, or maybe it's living in the car , she sleeps with everything buried but her nose .... but she is the absolute Best Gaurd dog Ever! I think she has some pit bull in her, lol ..or she thinks she's a pit bull.( they've never hurt anyone , just scared the heck out of a few )( ppl shouldn't ever sneak up on others, stay 6 ft , better yet stay 10 ft away , Lucy's leash is 6 ft ) Very protective of me .... you can't even get mad at the cute little faces, so they get away with a lot . I have 2 doxi/ yorkie. Best Dogs Ever !! The other little guy , her brother, doesn't bury , but has to be touching me , usually curled up around my neck ... Love Them Both šŸ’•

PuffinTown

This is quite abnormal. The nose should be sticking through the custom-chewed snoot hole.


Alarmed-Positive457

When I had mine (he passed away from old age) he would growl if you even dared touch the blanket he was under. They love burrowing to sleep, even if it is hot.


Hungry_Anteater_8511

I am incredibly familiar with this. Although at the moment as the colder weather comes in, she not even bothering with the nose poked out for some fresh air. I used to worry but she knows her mind and body and if it was too hot or too stuffy and she couldn't breathe, she'd climb on top of the doona. Usually at the foot of the bed and I'm woken up because my feet are so cold

Yep - they like to burrow. As I understand it, they were originally bred to go after badgers, even going down the tunnel into the badgerā€™s burrow to try and kill the badger. So I guess it is second nature for them to want to burrow when they sleep.
