Here are a few facts about the dachshund dog breed

The dachshund is a short-legged, long-bodied dog breed that is lively, courageous, and proud. Often called “wiener dogs” due to their elongated shape, dachshunds have a history as determined hunters of badgers and other animals that dig underground tunnels. Today they are popular pets known for their devotion to their owners.

With their very short legs combined with their long, narrow build, dachshunds are built low to the ground which aided them in pursuing prey down holes and burrows. Their short, thick coats and loose skin protected them from bites when hunting aggressive animals. Dachshunds come in three different coat varieties – smooth, longhair, and wirehair. They also come in a wide array of colours and patterns.

Dachshunds are intelligent and energetic with a bold spirit. They can be quite vocal with a loud, deep bark that belies their small stature. Curious and clever, they require lots of playtime and mental stimulation. Owners need to be patient yet firm in training as dachshunds can be independent and strong-willed at times. Proper socialization is important when they are young to curb any tendencies toward shyness or aggression.

Despite their small, elongated build, dachshunds are rugged dogs bred for hunting and fearlessness. But in the home, they are loyal and lively companions thriving when they can combine playful activity and interaction with plenty of quality time resting in their owner’s lap. With consistent training and early socialization, dachshunds make for charming and entertaining pets.
