Dachshunds were bred as hunting dogs with short lean bodies in order for them to seek out burrow dwelling creatures like rabbits. They are strong muscular dogs that are usually weighed at about 13 kilograms. They also come in different appearances such as tanned, long haired, or wire haired.
Dachshunds are playful and are known to chase small animals just for fun. They are also hard to train because of their level of energy. They have also very loud barks that have the potential of making them nuisance barkers.
According to the American Kennel Club, Dachshunds are intelligent and courageous but to the point of being rash as they are prone to challenge larger dogs. If left alone without training and proper socialization, they will become snappy and fearful as adults. Dachshunds are highly sociable with children and with strangers...but it should be noted that they do not like being involved with horseplay. Their slender backs are also susceptible to injury. So children should not try to ride on their back.
These breed, like many other breeds, have health problems that may occur. They are known to have spinal problems like the invertebral disk disease due to its large spinal column and short rib cage. Serious cases will require operation in order to remove the contents of the malfunctioning disk. This requires the Dachshund to be equipped with a cart for it to move around. A Dachshund can live up to fifteen years.
In general, Dachshunds are great watch dogs but sociable enough to be a family dog. But nonetheless it has some quirks that require an experienced dog owner.
