Loved and respected all around the world, Dachshunds are fun and playful dogs and the kind Dachshund Temperament is often a much sought after characteristic in a lot of dogs.
The Dachshund breed is known for their propensity for chasing small animals, such as birds and sports items, most favourably tennis balls. The Dachshunds carry this out with such determination and ferocity, that it is extremely interesting to see.
Dachshunds have a very loud and unique bark, making them ideal guard dogs for a family or business property. However, being a renowned stubborn dog, it can be somewhat of a challenge to train a Dachshund quickly and effectively.
The Dachshund is a clever and courageous dog, with any shyness towards humans or animals being very unusual. This can be seen in the way that the Dachshund acts towards different sized animals, very rarely backing down if approached by a much larger breed.
If contemplating taking a Dachshund into a home, careful consideration must be taken to their needs as Dachshunds can become stressed very easily. The ideal way to ensure this does not happen is to spend a large amount of time exercising them regularly in large spaces with a variety of other people and animals.
