Ask any dachshund breed owner and you'll find there's no other dog worth owning. Dachshunds are not only one of the most popular breeds in America, but also one of the most lovable.

dachshundsDachshunds are irresistible, charming, impish, and headstrong. Once bred for hunting, the dachshund now occupies thousands of hearts.

If you're new to the world of dachshunds, the first question you have is probably about their short legs and long bodies. This feature makes them truly unique in the dog world.

They are also known as Sausage dogs, Weiner dogs, Doxies or Dashies… they are breed in two sizes, standard and miniature, in a wide range of colors and patterns.

Stubborn dachshund characteristics (making them a little difficult to train) can be traced back to those days spent learning and evolving into being great underground hunters. If they were easily swayed, they couldn't have survived.

If you are considering to own a dachshund, or you’ve just become a new dachshund owner, there are some realities you do need to fully accept.

    I have had 4 dachshunds over the course of my lifetime and now on no 5 and not one of them had back problems and they were wild and active all their lives! All lived long happy lives one was 17 when he passed in his sleep! Only had to have my Molly girl put down at 13 because of cancer! I would not have any other breed of dog that’s how much I love them and I never had problems with any of mine!

    You’ve been very lucky! I wish I could say the same about the one I own. They are a wonderful breed of dog, by far my favorite, but they are predisposed to IVDD and for that reason I would never get another. 🙁
