1. Your Dachshund Dog

Dachshunds, also known as the Wiener Dog, Hot Dog and Sausage Dog are small dogs with long bodies, short crooked legs and large ears.

The popular Dachshund comes in two sizes – Miniature and Standard and three varieties of coat – Shorthaired, Longhaired and Wirehaired. Dachshunds are playful, fun-loving and inquisitive.

They are fine with older children but do not like the rough handling they may receive from boisterous younger children. Dachshunds can be difficult to train as they are often independent and quite stubborn.

Feel free to tell me about your dachshund dog - I'd love to hear from you!
