They can be. If you get your dachshund at a young age and be careful with not mistreating it, they will be more calm when they're grown up. My friend has a dachshund that was mistreated and its cranky all the time and will bite you. Dachshunds will get more excersize if they have another dog to play with, prefferably another dachshund.

∙ 14y agoNot really...they're more for old, lonely people with nothing to do, dog shows, etc...UNLESS you train them to be! I saw a homeless person with his dachshund and the cute doggy was carrying some things on his back. Sort of like a mule,ya know?

∙ 12y agoDachshunds can make excellent pets, but not for very small children. Dachshunds usually prefer a quiet life as they do not have much energy and their short legs mean that they cannot keep up with a running child. Dachshunds are full of character and make surprisingly good guard dogs, but they will not tolerate small children who will not respect them. If you want a family dog that will fit in with a more busy and active life with children, consider rescuing a Labrador Retriever or Staffordshire Bull Terrier - there are literally thousands needing homes.

Do dachshunds travel in groups?
Dogs are pack animals naturally, coming from their ancient wolf ancestors. I do not think that dachshunds have a much different behavoir, but I have noticed my dachshunds seems to like other dachshunds better than other breeds. If fact, the standard dachshund were breed to hunt in packs. Therefore, they are very content if they have other dogs to bond with. Since the miniature dachshund is derived from the standard, they also have the same temperament. They love to have other dogs around to bond with.
