Dachshund

The Dachshund, affectionately known as the 'sausage dog,' was developed in Germany over 300 years ago to hunt badgers in their underground burrows, which explains their long body, short legs, and bold, tenacious personality. They come in two sizes (standard and miniature) and three coat types (smooth, wirehaired, and longhaired). Despite their small stature, Dachshunds have big personalities — they are brave, curious, and fiercely loyal, though their long backs make them particularly susceptible to spinal injuries.

Consigli alimentari

Keep Dachshunds lean to protect their vulnerable spines — excess weight dramatically increases the risk of disc problems. Feed controlled portions twice daily and limit high-calorie treats.
