Dachshunds - What Your Need To Know

Looking to bring a cute Dachshund dog home? Here’s the vital 411 to help you decide!

Dachshunds
are good family dogs, eager and friendly. Many can make good watch dogs because
their bark is surprisingly loud and deep. They are devoted and active, and can
get along with children and some pets.

There are many caveats, however.If you plan to consider adding a Dachshund
to the household, consider that they require good, solid training to prevent
disobedience. If you have a yard, their natural instinct to hunt will often
lead them to “hunt” in the yard and do some damage in the process. Unlike many
dogs, however, Dachshunds easily adapt to apartments and small homes without
yards.

There
are two Dachshund sizes – standard and miniature Dachshund. The standard Dachshund is
generally good with children, while the miniature does better with older
children. Both should be socialized with cats early in life, if you plan to
have or you do have cats.
