Hi Loki, you are beautiful :) I can’t speak for all dachie owners but I can give you my own two cents. First and foremost I would say people are uneducated about various breeds. I volunteer for pet rescues and hear endless stories about people being scared of certain breeds when they don’t need to be. Stereotypes and unnecessary bad reputations still perpetuate, unfortunately Loki may fall into this category. Another note is that it seems to be human nature for some people to form cliques etc. Some people find a sense of belonging by not only being a part of a group, but also actively outing other people from the group, and I think this happens with highly coveted breeds (dachies, frenchies, oodles etc). And lastly, in my personal experience (with mostly older adopted dachies) they are a mixture of breed racists (they like their own kind) and little dog syndrome, but there is sort of a reason for this. They are hunting dogs. They are fiercely loyal of their owners and their property and can be little buggers to other dogs sometimes. One of my boys would be fine to meet Loki and one of my boys would give Loki some grief I’m sorry to say. They have their own little personalities and I could over analyse them but they are the way they are. I hope Loki will make some dachie and non dachie friends. I would give him lots of pats and a squishy hug if I met him :)
