Introduction

Recognizable for their long bodies and short legs, the Dachshund is a spirited breed, brimming with curiosity. Initially bred for hunting, these dogs are known for their keen sense of smell. Despite their size, they have a bold and confident temperament, often forming a strong bond with their owners. With moderate exercise needs, they fit well in various living situations, but their curiosity can make them a little mischievous at times.
