Yeah, we had one that did the same. Rudi. He loved a group howl.

These videos - especially Reuben - remind me of my brother and sister-in-law's dachsie Blitzen. He could sing like that and would really get into it, as long as one of us humans started the group howl. LOL

Well, the girls were great. Did you ever see a dachshund jump about 3 feet straight up from a sit, and I don't mean onto something. They can. I scooped up Huey when Rose and Lilly arrived (threat barking) and he then went under the blanket and pretty much stayed there until the girls went home.

Huey weighs about 22 pounds; the girls weight about 8 to 10 pounds each, but as I said earlier, they're rescue dogs and are fattening up as they get older (just like humans do, I guess).

I leave early tomorrow to go dachshund sit. And then there are The Girls, Rose and Lily, who will come visiting; both, like Huey, are rescue dachsies.

If they don't like it, their tail goes down low (or between their legs) and they go away somewhere else. If they do like it, they wag their tails and get closer to the action.

Don't ya know, though, if he oculd just reach that high, he'd probably rip it it shreds, (the harmonica, ye idjits!:-) and give his ears a rest.

My dog ran and hid upstairs when I was learning to play violin. The dog we have now has gone mostly deaf, but when I start on the Native American flute he gets a very worried look and goes as far away as possible and no, my playing, isn't that bad!**bg**

This is gonna be such a great thread! ;-)

Yes, the little rascals do love to sing. They are inspired to do so by a number of things, such as:

1. the harmonica
2. the violin
3. a train whistle
4. a police or ambulance siren
5. human singing
6. bagpipes
7. Spanish guitar
8. distant coyotes or other dogs howling
9. anything at all that sounds doleful, wailing notes....

A singing Dachshund is a dog that has given himself over rapturously to the pure expression of untrammeled song. He loses himself in a surge of uncontrollable emotion that verges from wistful longings to sheer ecstatic abandon.

Here is our first selection, a delightfully glossy and sleek young Dachshund who joins in with harmonica. His singing technique is undisciplined as yet, but his enthusiasm makes up for the lack of professional polish:

Wailin'!!!
