    Do you have any statistics on deaths by dachshund?

        No, oddly enough you didn’t. Off though - you’d think if it were all to do with upbringing rather than breed, there would be at least one Dachshund-related fatality over the last 109 years.

            After investigation, it was determined that the woman in question

            is believed to have been killed by her own American Bully XL

            The victim’s dog

            was the only animal to have been destroyed, which they believe to be an American Bully XL

            while

            two seized dachshunds were returned to their owner.

              You seriously used the Daily Mail as a source?

                Feel free to post alternative sources.

                You’ll struggle to find one that doesn’t state the same facts: that following forensic investigation the victim’s American Bully XL was destroyed, and two dachshunds were returned to their owners without issue.

            I mean, she was walking 8 dogs when she attacked and all the dogs were kept by the police. So, we don’t know to what extent the dachshunds were involved in her death, but if it makes you happy.

              The dachshunds were returned to their owners. The victim’s dog, an American Bully XL, was destroyed.
