  1. Things About Dachshunds Every Owner Should Know

  2. Dachshund Are Hunting Dogs They’re scent hounds to be exact. They were bred to hunt, covering a lot of  ground, sniffing out badgers, rabbits, and other small game. This means that they are they are controlled by 2 things: their nose and their belly! You can help fulfill this natural hunting drive by making them feel like they are “hunting” for food and treats. 

  3. Dachshunds Are Stubborn and Super Smart Dachshunds were bred to hunt mean animals that live in burrows. They were bred to not back down or give up in the face of a threat. They were also bred to think for themselves because they are down in the burrow without a human telling them what to do. A Dachshund will keep at any problem in front of them until they solve it. Unfortunately, that means they may use their superpowers to figure out, or get into, things you don’t want them to.

  4. Dachshunds Live for a Long Time The average Dachshund lifespan is 14-16 years old. Most live at least until they are 11 or 12 and I have seen many, many Dachshunds live to be between the ages of 17 – 20. If you own a Dachshund, be prepared to be in it for the long haul.

  5. Dachshunds Can be Picky About Weather Many Dachshunds have what I like to call Wet Belly Syndrome. They are short and close to the ground so rain doesn’t just fall on them from the top but it splashes them from the bottom. Be prepared to meet some resistance if you try walking them in the rain (including going out to go potty) and be prepared to shovel a path if there is snow in your back yard. That being said, I am a huge proponent of NOT letting them refuse to go out in inclement weather.

  6.  Dachshunds Are Energetic and Need Plenty of Exercise Because of their small size and short legs, many people think that Dachshund’s don’t need much exercise or are not capable of it. But they are bred to be hunters, remember? They are bred to be active dogs. Sure, a Dachshund is happy to laze around the house if you let them but they are capable of more than you think when it comes to exercise.

  7. Dachshunds Will Steal Your Heart Their clownish antics and silly looks will melt your heart. Dachshund owners will tell you they’re like potato chips – it’s hard to have just one. Many people have at least two and the “once a dachshund owner, always a dachshund owner” mentality leads people to get several over their lifetime. You’ll want to keep a quality camera handy to capture all of the silly, precious moments.

  8. Dachshunds Are Fiercely Loyal Dachshunds are loyal to their people. They love to snuggle with you on the couch, sleep with you in bed, and follow you around the house (including into the bathroom). They will be protective of their family members and sometimes one particular member of the family.

  9. Dachshunds Are Very Social This is NOT a breed that will be happy hanging alone all day while you are at work (although every dog is different). They are very social and can be unhappy when bored and alone. Many are totally fine if a dog walker stops by during the day to give them a little people time or they have a friend to keep them company.

  10. Prepare Yourself For a Lot Fun Be prepared for wiener jokes. Dachshund owners love a great pun. You will also hear a lot of the same comments over and over if you hike with your Dachshund. Also, owning a Dachshund makes you part of a community. Dachshund people are fanatic and gravitate to one another.
