≡Dachshund
Dachshund , also known as the "sausage dog" due to its long, low body, is a breed of hunting dog originating in Germany. They have short legs, long ears, and whip-like tails. They are known for their courage, intelligence and friendly disposition. They were originally bred to hunt badgers, rabbits and other small animals, using their keen sense of smell and compact size to enter narrow burrows. They are affectionate, but can also be stubborn during training. They do well in family environments and are great companions. Baths are not necessary frequently, but it is important to dry the coat well after bathing. Brush regularly to avoid mats, clean his ears weekly and keep him warm in winter. Control your weight to protect your spine and avoid frequently going up and down stairs. They are active and need at least an hour of activity a day.
