Dachshunds have a reputation of being smart hunting dogs and very devoted family pets. Bred for the purpose of hunting badgers under ground, Dachshunds as family pets tend to display their hunting instincts in yards, digging tunnels, for example.

Everyone is sure to recognize the Dachshund by its specific looks. The elongated body, short legs and alert facial expression are trademarks of the breed. The Dachshund has a very good nose and a surprisingly loud voice. These hunting dog features make Dachshunds valuable guard dogs.

Longhaired, wirehaired and smooth varieties differ in both appearance and temperament. According to the size, the Dachshund can be standard (14-18 inches) and miniature (14 inches). Dachshunds live about 16 years. However, some Dachshunds are known to have lived longer.

Dachshunds - Rescues - Is This a Breed for You?

The Dachshund dog's owners and breeders claim that there is no better dog breed in the world. They say, the Dachshund makes things completely different and even those who only meant to have a friendly and loyal companion find themselves spending hours training the dog for trials or shows. The Dachshund is believed to have no limit in learning aptitude and can always pleasantly surprise the owner.

Dachshunds are rather independent and sometimes lordly. They will not display these qualities to an undesirable degree, if you do not provoke them. Though Dachshunds are small and a little comical looking, they naturally feel on a par with larger dogs. Stubborn and shrewd behavior at times is not rare in improperly trained Dachshunds.
