European creation by breeding various German, French, and English hounds and terriers.
Dachshunds have been kept by royal courts all over Europe, to include Queen Victoria.
The breed is famous for its use in exterminating badgers and badger-baiting, dachshunds were
also commonly used for rabbit and fox hunting, as well. Sometimes, they were used in packs in
order to locate wounded deer while hunting.
Dachshunds are known for their devotion and loyalty to their owners and families. This love in
addition to their loud bark, they make great watchdogs.
Dachshunds can, also, be credited to being clever, lively, and courageous.
If raised improperly, without proper socialization and training, dachshunds can become
aggressive or fearful. They require a caring owner that understands their need to have
entertainment, exercise, and training.
Some dachshunds are prone to separation anxiety and in order to relieve the stress, they may
cause damage within the house.
Dachshund are known to have spinal problems, especially inter vertebral disk disease (IVDD),
due mostly because of their extremely long spinal column and short rib cage.The risk of injury
can be worsened by obesity, which places greater strain on the vertebrae.
In order to prevent injury, it is recommended that dachshunds not be allowed to jump or take
stairs. But, some people say that taking stairs, can reduce the risk of IVDD because it allows the
dog to walk and stay in shape.
Holding the dog properly is important to reduce the risk of injury. You should have the front and
rear portions of the dog fully supported.
More recently, it seems that evidence has come up leaning towards the higher likelihood that
the severity of spinal problems is largely hereditary. Responsible breeders are working to
eliminate this characteristic in the breed, so before buying a Dachshund, make sure to question
the breeder about this in his dogs and their past.
