Summary
Dachshunds aren't made for long-distance running, jumping, or strenuous swimming, but otherwise, these tireless dogs are up for anything. They are smart and alert, bark like a big dog and are good guard dogs. Because they were bred to hunt dangerous prey, they can be very brave and a little stubborn, but their endearing nature and unique appearance have won millions of hearts around the world. The Dachshund's famous long, low silhouette, ever-alert expression, and bold, lively personality have made him a superstar in the canine kingdom. Typical of small dog breeds, the Teckel is also a breed that likes to move. In short: a small dog that appreciates exercise, play and training. It is therefore not surprising that this loyal companion would be particularly happy about a home with a garden. Are you not a fan of dog breeds that shed a lot?
