Hold a Dachshund Properly
Dachshunds also known as "wiener dogs" are known for their long body, short legs, and floppy ears. While these adorable dogs make great household companions, their unusual proportions can make them delicate — their long spines are especially sensitive. This means that extra care must be taken to support the dogs back as you pick it up, hold it, and set it back down.1
Holding a Dachshund Safely Place one hand under the chest.
 Picking up a dachshund is different than the way youd pick up other breeds, but its not especially hard once you learn the right method. Start by slipping a hand under the dogs upper body to support his chest and ribcage. Dont lift up yet.  Spread your fingers out so that you support as much of the dogs upper body as possible. The wider the area you can spread his weight over, the gentler it will be on his spine.Place your other hand under the dogs rump.
 Gently slip your free hand under the dogs rump — either directly behind it or just in front of the dogs rear legs to support its lower body. Get ready to lift up.  Here, again, it is best to spread your hand to give the widest base of support possible.Slowly lift the dachshund, keeping his body level.
 Now, simply lift the dog up. As you go, try to keep the dogs lower body from hanging or drooping beneath his lower body. A little bending is fine, but youll want to keep the dogs back as flat as possible to keep from putting stress on it.  Continue to support the dogs back as you hold it.
 As you move around or play with your dachshund, make sure his lower back is well-supported at all times. Dachshunds arent like other dogs — letting their lower bodies dangle is uncomfortable to them and can contribute to painful back problems like slipped and ruptured discs over time.  Luckily, with a little practice, this should become second nature after a while. Eventually, it will feel "wrong" to pick the dachshund up in the incorrect Dachshunds also known as "wiener dogs" are known for their long body, short legs, and floppy ears.
