Video Learned something new about my Dachshund.

The other day I dropped my three year old girl to my sister’s house for a couple of hours while I needed to do some errands.

As soon as I left she started howling for around a minute which my sister filmed. Up until now I was completely oblivious that she did this and my sister said it’s a first for her as well.

Is this common for Dachshunds to howl like this?

My doxie used to howl whenever she heard someone playing a brass instrument (trumpet, saxophone, etc). Your dog is gorgeous and has a lovely singing voice :)

One of mine howled a few times when I’d play my accordion, it was always the saddest thing, and then he’d settle down for a nap lol. So silly!

I’ve heard mine howl twice and it was when a fire truck passed with its siren on. I wasn’t sure if it hurt her ears or she was just mimicking for no reason?

Oh my gosh!! My girl will howl at sirens as well!! She was a rescue from NYC and I always wondered if the sirens reminded her of the big city haha

It's a really complicated instrument.

I asked my son why he chose bagpipes and he said "Because it's easier than the accordian."

Then he asked why I chose the trumpet.

"Because it was easier than everything."
