You might think German Shepherds are fearless. They’re so multipurpose, whether they’re working on a farm, sniffing out bombs, or accompanying police officers on potentially dangerous outtings.

One German Shepherd has proved all of the stereotypes wrong, though. When her new Dachshund sister moved in, she wanted her to know that she was completely safe. The tables turned quickly, though, and it turns out she’s the threat here:

Winnie the Mini Dachshund has only been in her forever home for a few weeks at this point, but she’s already totally taken over. She has two big sisters: another Dachshund and this German Shepherd. Neither of them has been named on TikTok yet, though.

Before Winnie, the German Shepherd was the baby of the family. The transition has been tough, but it’s so chaotic that she really can’t process it. Winnie moves faster than anyone else!

Winnie is a classic dachshund, and she follows Dachshund Law to a tee. What that means is that, if someone else has something, Winnie wants it. Winnie needs it. It is Winnie’s.

Her attitude is hilarious, and her love of biting everything has started getting her in trouble. She loves this new game she recently discovered called “Hold On and Don’t Let Go.” The best object for this game is whatever’s in mom’s hand at the time:

That poor washcloth will never be the same after Winnie is done with it… Not that Winnie cares. That’s not her business.

Dachshunds Are Biters

Winnie is proof, but everyone already knows that Dachshunds love to bite. They may be small, but they’re mighty, and their jaws are no joke!

Dachshunds were bred to crawl into dens and literally drag out the animals who lived in there. As a result, their jaws are super strong; they had to be able to hold onto animals as they thrashed around. Dachshunds are:

• Prone to biting whatever they can.

Ankles, clothing, and even fingers are never safe around Dachshunds. Now Winnie’s poor sisters are on the chopping block, too!
