| About Dachshunds Country of Origin: The Dachshund originated in Germany in the sixteenth century. They were bred and trained to chase down prey, such as a badger (Dachshund means ‘Badger Dog’). Size: There are sizes of Dachshund. The standard Dachshund and the Miniature Dachshund. All Dachshunds have an arched muzzle, almond shaped eyes, round ears, and straight tail. They are recognizable by their long bodies and short legs. Coat: The Dachshund coat may be smooth, long, or wire-haired. Character: Dachshunds are energetic, brave, intelligent and independent. They are quite happy, even clownish, and can behave mischievously on occasion. The Dachshund greatly enjoys interacting with humans and is quite friendly and outgoing at home. Dachshunds make fine companions and are not typically used as hunters. Temperament: The Dachshund is somewhat reserved around strangers and may bark at them, but forms a strong bond with family. It can be too courageous around larger dogs. Dachshunds are bold and outgoing, enjoying attention and frequently seeking adventure. They get along well with known children but may behave aggressively towards unknown children. Wired-haired Dachshunds tend to be more lively and outgoing then smooth-hairs; miniature Dachshunds may also be more reserved. Training: Long-haired Dachshunds are slightly easier to train than smooth- or wire-haired Dachshunds, however all varieties need firm and consistent training because they have minds of their own. The Dachshund is also sensitive and should be corrected gently, lest it become cowed and afraid. Activity: The Dachshund needs a small amount of exercise; medium length walks or a fair amount of play in the yard should be sufficient. Dachshunds may tire easily so exercise should be spaced out throughout the day. Dachshunds can live comfortably in an apartment, but it is best if they get an occasional view of the wild. Frequent jumping and running should not be allowed as it may cause back problems. |
