Character
The official name for a Dachshund is a Dachshund. The Dachshund is known as a friendly family dog. However, it is originally a talented scent hound, perfect for hunting badgers, foxes, and rabbits. This intelligent, mischievous breed can be quite disobedient as a puppy. They are even known to manipulate their owners to get their way. These star performers seek eye contact to persuade even assertive owners to change their minds. They need to know who's boss from an early age. Once a Dachshund has learned this, it is very loyal. This loyal companion gets along well with children and other pets. Dachshunds have an independent spirit and are alert and active.
Appearance
With its adorable appearance, the Dachshund often appears on the top lists of most popular dogs. The combination of its long, muscular body, confident gaze, and short legs gives the Dachshund a somewhat comical character. There are three coat varieties: long-haired, wire-haired, and short-haired. They have a smooth, glossy coat that is usually black, brown, or gray. A standard-sized Dachshund is about 35 cm long and weighs a maximum of 9 kg. A Miniature Dachshund grows to a maximum of 35 cm and around 6.5 kg. Then there's the "Kaninchen" Dachshund (rabbit in German). This smallest version of the Dachshund grows to only 30 cm long and weighs around 4.5 kg.
Other details
Dachshunds can bark loudly and deeply. They have the instincts of a hunting dog, and this is reflected in their behavior. Toys are considered prey, and they may dig things up in the yard. They require a patient and consistent trainer. The Dachshund loves outdoor walks and romping with other dogs. In a large garden or forest, you can let them dig and hunt to their heart's content. They are energetic and need plenty of exercise. It's important to closely monitor a Dachshund's eating habits. Overweight Dachshunds can become lazy and develop back problems due to the extra weight. A healthy Dachshund can live 12 to 16 years.
