When I was a small child, we had a black dachshund. He was a little bit tempermental. I have since heard that it is better to wait until the children are older before getting this breed. They are still wonderful dogs and wonderful pets, but they're just not right for small children. They're fine with older children who are old enough to understand the right way to treat a small dog.
People call dachshunds weenie or sausage dogs due to their long body shape resembling a sausage or hot dog. This nickname highlights their unique appearance and has become a popular way to affectionately refer to the breed.
Standard dachshunds are becominfg less and less common as the need for mini dogs arises. I have been able to locate several standards through the classified adds. Be sure to make sure they care for their dogs, and meet thr parents. good luck!
Yes, they do, especially in summer months. I have two Miniature Longhaired Dachshunds and they shed quite alot unless you brush them frequently.
No way! This is just a stereotype you've heard. My dachshund is the love of my life, the sweetest dog on the planet. And a coward, haha. Dachshunds are very loving pets. They can be defensive of their owners if they feel extremely threatened. Even then I wouldn't call them vicious. They do what any other dog would do: bark. I call them normal.
I Bought 2 puppies From Down Home Dachshunds. My dad also bought one for my mom. We love our babies and would not trade them for the world. They were obviously raised with much love.
they hear very well

Dachshunds are adorable. Long skinny short hot dog dogs :)
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.
Dachshunds are dogs. Dogs have memories. Yes. Yes. Just like everything else.
Dachshunds don't have webbed feet as they weren't originally bred as water dogs.
8 inches. however dachshunds aren't very good for agility due to their long backs. All that jumping around can cause later problems or none at all it depends on that particular dog's genetics.
