Meet the Dachshunds

Looking for something?

A poll of sorts


Does your dachshund do this? Jackson does and I haven’t seen this position in any of my other dachshunds. I love it! He appears to be very relaxed whenever he does it. Let us know! Very curious.

Our dachshund Rudy lays like that occasionally...and like yours, he seems to be very relaxed or wiped out tired. It makes us laugh.

Christina said...

Both my Dachshunds Zanz & Ulla do this. Ulla only does it when she's exhausted after a long walk, but Zanz does it all the time.

KLS said...

Peanut does this when he's really super tired or when he's stretching!

Lauren said...

Our dachshunds Adele & Oscar do this too. Especially when they're laying in the sun on a warm deck. Cracks us up.

Angie said...

My Frankie does this all the time. I call it 'chicken leg'.

Nicole said...

Yup - Auggie does it all the time - I have figured out no rhyme or reason as to why...my mom calls her duck butt when she does it...

susan said...

my dog poppi does something like that. she doesn't sit like that but she stretches by dragging her hind legs behind her every morning when she gets up and after a nap. Super cute!

Rob said...

Buddy does this all the time especially in bed or on the couch, we call it "otter legs" and Izzy will only do it when she is really tired.

Cole said...

Meadow does this all the time after a long walk or if she's really tired. Oddly... I've never seen Beckett get in that position.

Kelly said...

That's the ONLY way our dog lays on the floor. She likes to do it with her head on the ground.

angie said...

riley used to lay like this a lot when he was younger. not so much anymore. dash does the stretchy drag-leg thing. SO cute!

Yup, Frankie, the Walk 'N Roll Dog does this also. Interestingly enough she did this before she was paralyzed, then for a LONG time after her paralysis she didn't do this... but most recently has started doing this again.
I always say to her when she sits like that, "Are you a little frog?"
I LOVE it when doxie's sit like this. Too cute!

Oh yes! Both of our doxies do that... must be a trait.

Bridget Marie said...

Merlot does it ALL the time. It's her favorite position to lay in WHILE chewing on a bone or toy. I took a picture of it one day and her front arms were out too - she looked like she was flying - it was so cute!

Jamie said...

Our dachshund doesn't but my corgi does!

chimes said...

my doxie ALWAYS used to do that!!

AmyM said...

Mine do it too, plus I remember my dachshund as a child used to do it as well - he looked just like the photo you have.

Mine also like to do it when they are sliding off of our laps or our sides when we are in bed. Very funny.

Julie said...

My mini dachshund Honey does that all the time, sits kind of funny too. Our standard dachshund Bosko doesn't do it nearly as often - probably out of fear she will jump on him if he relaxes too much! lol

bodelou said...

woody does this, sometimes he stretches and stays in this position, sometimes he just does it. we call it the frog legs...

twodogszk said...

my dog blake loves to sit like that

Nicole said...

HAHA!! Lila sleeps like that. A-FREAKING-DORABLE!

Minnie Anne said...

oh yes- Kona does that- especially when he comes back from a long walk or a run.. we always say he looks like a seal! My friends say he looks like a pig when he does it! It's so cute!

Ms. Otter said...

My Rolo does this all the time! Especially when he comes home from a walk or when we let him outside in the sun!

Ms. Otter said...

He is actually doing it right now while he is chewing his bone...kinda funny!

Anonymous said...

all of my doxies have done that .

Ben said...

Oddly enough, neither Calvin nor Theo have ever really done that besides just for a quick stretch.

Panee said...

My Forest does this all the time - it's hilarious! He does it when he's stretching or laying on our rug chewing on his toy; I like to pat his bum when he's like that. Super cute :)

Augie the Clown said...

Yep, my zoe is doing that also :)

Edward Patience said...

Out of the 4 daschies we have had over the years, only 1...Millie, has crouched like that. No idea why....but she's happy!

doxie mama said...

All of ours do - we call it "frog dog"

Lori said...

Only one of our 3 dachshunds has this odd way of lying/sitting/resting. It must be comfortable for him. He falls asleep almost immediately in this position. We call it "broken legs".

lesleyap said...

Hamish does this with his butt in the air (back prooped up on our legs or a pillow) and front half down at a 30 degree angle. And he'll stay like that. He likes the stretch.

jam said...

well winnie and wilbur do this when their laying in bed. looks so cute when they do this.

Ginger Dupre said...

Yes! Our red haired Doxie Copper does this ALL the time. So funny too!

Twix said...

I do it all the time....its my froggy doggy position. I just found your blog and love it! I am adding you to my "More Wiener Dog Blogs" blogroll.

iTeresa said...

Yep, Bella lays like this all the time, as does her half sister Chanel that my sister has, its too cute for words :)

The Girl said...

My dachshund/pug mix Darcy does this all the time...it's her favorite way to lay down!

Anonymous said...

Yes! We call this "chicken leg" dog when our Oskar lays out all flattened. It looks uncomfortable to us, but he doesn't mind. Even funnier is when he throws himself upside down against the wall, legs splayed every-which-way, in a ray of sunshine, as if we tossed him like a rag in the corner! That makes quite a picture...

Chase said...

Neither Carlisle or Easton do this. They tuck their legs under. However, the yorkie does it.

Tiffany said...

yup! macho and savvy do this. I think it's funniest when they are chewing on a toy and laying like that.

kate said...

All three of my doxies do that, although the girls do it a lot more often than Jordan.

Travis said...

Yep. Our Charlie does that. We call it the frog butt. Our new rescue, Maggie does it with just one leg, she leaves the other one tucked under.

CCJ said...

LOVE LOVE LOVE when my Pork Chop does that. It's my favorite pose.

Anonymous said...

My Michael does it all the time. Then, I have to resist the urge to pinch his tush and coo "Look at these drumsticks, I'm going to eat you up."

Yeah, can't believe I just admitted that.

Anonymous said...

I call it the Sphinx. Too cute

Cláudia said...

I have two dachshunds. One of them does it when he's very tired or when he's laying in the sun. It' so cute!!

Anonymous said...

Milo does this all the time, we say he's "dualled out" (like a dual exhaust) Riley only does this when she's stretching.

Kalyxcorn said...

One of our boys before Baxter did this but, oddly, Baxter has never done it. But Baxter also never sloppy sits. He must not be as bendy!

kk said...

Vito does this ALL the time. I just don't know how it's comfortable!

Terry said...

My dachshund Willie does it and my childhood dachsie, Heidi did it too.
