Little Dachshunds are well-known to be fiercely loyal companions, very courageous, intelligent and the biggest joys to be around. These little ones (literally (; ), contrary to the image they portray with their short limbs, they are pretty apt at travelling long distances.
However, Dachshunds are also said to often forget their size. Without proper training, these little ones have a reputation for having unpredictable behaviour. Dachshunds are good companions for families with older children who can understand that the puppy needs to have consistent instructions given to them. These little ones can get along with other canine counterpart, even feline friends as well.
The most important things when it comes to little Dachshunds would be the word "training" and "consistency". Dachshunds are excellent new additions to their human owners' families, but they would need to aware of rules they should be set the moment they arrive at their new homes. Dachshunds are great indoor doggies and would be great for people living in apartments!
However, owners of Dachshunds would need to take caution about letting their pups jump from heights due to their short limbs which may cause back issues. In addition, new owners might want to note that Dachshunds have a reputation to be fierce eaters and being overweight might cause a higher tendency of poor limb and joint movement and strained backs. Be careful when walking these little ones as well as they are shorter and more easily overlooked (ouch!)!
Dachshunds a minimal shedders, and with a good diet, they can live up to 15 years!
So Dachshund-lovers, be prepared for 15 years of love and fun! :D
