Needs to be the only dog
Dachshunds are bold, spirited dogs known for their long bodies and short legs. Originally bred to hunt badgers, they possess a fearless personality and strong prey drive. They come in three coat types—smooth, long-haired, and wire-haired—each offering unique grooming needs. Regular exercise is important to prevent obesity, which can strain their long backs. They are excellent watchdogs thanks to their alertness and loud bark. Dachshunds enjoy spending time with their families and thrive in environments where they feel included. With proper care, they make charming and loyal pets.
