How many Miniature Dachshunds to down an angry Pit?

Assuming:

1. Each mini weighs in around 7 lbs. each with a massive 4" reach.
2. The Pit Bull can't run for his life, as most animals do when confronted by an angry Dachshund. Say the whole mess is corralled.
3. The PB is actively trying to stay alive.

For the curious . . . yes, I have been dwelling on this for quite a while. Yes I have. My wife seems to think that the answer is near eight, but she was having to talk to me on the sly as she's conducting a company-wide audit; her reply may have simply been an effort to get rid of me and the true answer may be something far different.

My guess is ten. I figure the big dog would be able to fend off a few of the little guys but, while he's busy, the others would be working on his achilles.

Note that in NO WAY do I support dog fighting except in the name of science.

Interesting...depends on how focused the PB is on taking care of each Dachs or gets fixated on tearing apart a single one. 10 is probably a good guess.

Speaking of hypothetical dog issues, what would happen if you mix a Male Yorki and a female English Mastiff? Would that mix even make it?

My mini is 12# which I'm guessing would skew your results.

Since a Dachsund's bite power is about equivalent to a child's stapler, and it takes about a dozen staples to close a Fed Ex Pak, and a mini Dachsund's size to weight ratio vs. a standard Dachsund is about 1.4:1, I'd say precisely eleventy billion.

When the PB is full it will lie down.
I'm thinking 2-3 depending on the wieners weight!

Did see three Jack Russells close out a pit bull once.

I no unnerstand what you are saying. So I ran this post through Google translate English>Arabic , Arabic>Spanish and then back to English. This is what I was given:

Damn you Scott. November, he said, and I have curiosity of what their intentions were in this position.? You call me long time. So what is your point of view, the naked truth?

Is this what you were trying to say?

I really hate to break this to you guys, but sometimes- despite what your teachers may have told you- there is absolutely no point. Sorry. You have wasted untold seconds of your lives simply by visiting this thread and questioning its merits.

Now go forth and sin no more.

If all the poodles in the Caymans took up knitting, would they send an ugly Christmas sweater to the pitbull?

I take it you've never seen 5 or more Dachshunds that have a pack mentality....freakin' scary. I had a partner that let loose a bunch of them in place of lazy ass Rotties....he never got robbed, cheaper to feed and the turds were easier to pick up...

I've got a rotweiler in my handbag and I'm not afraid to use it.

Anyways, where I come from we are so tough we send the budgie out to chase the postman.
