Dachshunds

The Dachshund, also known as the “wiener dog,” is a lively hound recognized by its long, low-slung body and short, stubby legs. Weighing 16-32 pounds, Dachshunds come in three coat types and exhibit big dog confidence. Originally bred to hunt badgers and other burrow-dwelling animals, Dachshunds use their compact build, strong sense of smell, and tenacious spirit. Despite their small size, Dachshunds have ample exercise needs and lively personalities. They bond devotedly with their owners and thrive on playtime and interaction. With patience and proper training, Dachshunds make amusing, steadfast companions ready for action in a small package.
