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.

    I had a dachshund who injured his back jumping while we taught school one day. The dog was laying on the floor and not moving his legs or body when we got home. I took the dog to the vet immediately. He recommended surgery. I went home and I called my cousin who is an emergency vet. He said to put the dog on bed rest. This worked. The dog was fine after a few weeks. The dog chose not to jump again.
