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.

    If I had the option to have a healthy child or one who has a very high chance of having medical issues that will likely end it’s life, yes I would choose to have the healthy one. Unfortunately you typically don’t have that option with children, but it is an option I have with my dog.

    Catherine some people just do not read all of a persons statement before they respond like this person —> Pieter. What you are saying is true and i am going through it too. I love both of mine to the moon and back, one has no problems at all and the other has every problem its the luck of the draw and if your chances are high of having issues why would you want to increase the demand for backyard breeders with no education or genetic testing to create more dachshunds with IVDD then limiting the amount of people who get them. I have seen so many people owning dachshunds without the right home, time and patience and for that you should never be selfish and just want one because they cute you should always do your research. So to end that note i totally agree. 🙂
