Dachshunds are playful, charming, lovable, and at times, mischievous dogs. Since the 16th century, their primary purpose was to hunt the badger and fox. Because they possess courage, persistence, stamina, and a keen nose, they exceeded expectations. No matter what the size of a dachshunds' adversary, nor how formidable, they will display a fight-to-the-finish attitude, which usually allows them to come out on top. Often referred to as "two dogs long and a half a dog high", the dachshund doesn't let his size get in the way. They have a deep bark, a mind of their own, and outstanding courage. They are fiercely loyal, show total love and devotion to their master and family, making wonderful pets. A miniature can weigh up to 11 lbs, and a standard can weigh from 16 to 40 lbs. Those in between are affectionately referred to as 'tweenies'. All require minimal grooming, and are easily cared for.
Dachshunds can come in
two SIZES: standard or miniature
three COATS: smooth, longhaired or wirehaired
one solid or two COLORS: red, cream, black and tan, black and cream, chocolate and tan, blue and tan, and isabella (fawn) and tan
one PATTERN, if any: dapple, double dapple, brindle, sable, and piebald
Dachsies learn fast - when it suits their purpose. They also have selective hearing and can be stubborn, but those big eyes always melt your heart and you tend to overlook any 'faults'. So, they generally seem to get their way, while winning your heart. Once you acquire a dachshund, and experience the wonderful personality and complete devotion, no other dog will ever do. One is never enough, and you don't own a dachshund, it owns you!
