14 Photos Of Adorable Dachshunds That You Needed, But Simply Weren't Aware Of It
Dachshunds are scent hound dogs that were bred to hunt rabbits, foxes, badgers, and other creatures that dig. You may know them by one of their many nicknames, including Wiener-Dog, Sausage Dog, Doxie, and more.
If you’re looking for a little pooch who will keep you on your toes and shower you with love, this may be the breed for you. Packs of Dachshunds were used by hunters to pursue wild pigs.
Now, they are mostly kept as pets. And they make wonderful family pets, show dogs, today because of their dual nature. Sweet and fierce.
It's amazing how suddenly the internet is all about dachshunds. Although they are adorable and entertaining to look at, some owners said that these miniature wiener dogs can become aggressive if you even remotely threaten (i.e., approach) their loved ones.
That only shows how much they love their human families. Yeah, these tiny dogs are all about protecting their loved ones.
People have a lot of fun sharing what it’s like to actually own a small yet fearsome doggo and exchange experiences with other dog owners. We have selected some of the most interesting posts about Dachshunds, and you are going to love them.

If they are given a decent start in life and adequate socialization as a puppy, many dachshunds will be friendly to people and other animals. They are, in general, playful and lively, making them excellent family pets.
However, because they were bred originally as hunting dogs, they may have a high prey drive (meaning they like to chase or catch things that run, such as wildlife). Also, since they are quite intelligent dogs, they can become bored or stressed if their brains and bodies aren't kept active.

Another reason to keep dachshunds active is their tendency to gain weight. This can lead to some health issues because it creates strain on their long back.
Other than that, this breed is generally healthy. And they definitely keep you healthy because you will have to exercise them regularly. And a lot.
