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!
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.
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.
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.
As Dachshunds are quite a small breed, this is unlikely. However you could expect a litter of between 3 and 7 - depending on whether you have a Standard or Miniature Dachshund.
Dachshunds are one of the longest lived breeds of dog in the World. The World's oldest living dog is a 22 year old Dachshund. Standard Dachshunds should live for over 10 years, and Miniatures should live over 15 years.
Dachshunds were first bred in the early 1600's in Germany to flush out badgers from their sets underground. At this time, Dachshunds had longer legs and were much more suited to being a working breed than the show standard Dachshund of today.

There is a wealth of information available on dachshunds on the link below.
Shorthaired and Longhaired Dachshunds had appeared in Europe since the 15th century, and Wirehaired Dachshunds were first bred in 1790.
There is no way to answer this question without a personal opion, I have a Dachshund/Beagle mix and my dog is amazing. Both breeds are hunting usually dachshunds are a little bit small for standard and even smaller than that for mini. It depends on your personal need of one
Where could I find a pet sitter for my dachshunds? I live in Northern Tennessee.
The dachshund breed comes in two sizes that are registered by the american kennel club, standard and miniature. The miniature dachshund is identified by being 11 pounds or under at 12 months of age or older. The standard size is usually between 16 and 32 pounds. These two sizes are the only two sizes that dachshunds can be shown in but I have seen mini mini dachshunds around 6 or seven pounds and middle sizes that are 12-14 pounds. People sometimes call these middle sized dachshunds tweenies. I have a miniature dachshund at 10.5 pounds and a small standard dachshund at 15.5 pounds.

Dachshunds are dogs. Dogs have memories. Yes. Yes. Just like everything else.
