Dachshund Dogs are a special breed of dog. So what makes the Dachshund so special? Well we have owned several as family pets over the years, so we feel they have a creative personality that other dogs may not. Dachshunds are a very loyal and affectionate dog and make a great pet for someone that has time and energy to spare. They are a very active dog and has big bursts of energy. Remember when taking them on walks that their legs are a lot smaller than ours so 10 mile hikes are out of the question. Use a harness on your Dachsund because collars pull on their necks and backs.This Dachshund Information will help you in vet bills in the long run.

The name Dauchshund has a German decent / origin and means "Badger Dog"."(This is some great Dachshund knowlege!) Their body type was developed to be long and low to the ground so they could fit into badger dens. This is how the miniture Dachshund came to be. Hunters wanted smaller dogs in order to fit into the dens better and quicker.
