Advantages of the Dachshund Breed

Dachshunds are “icons” in the purebred dog community due to their small, lovable stature and their sought-after, big personalities. However, Dachshunds offer much more.

Here are just a few amazing benefits that this breed has to offer to a home!

Your own personal security guard

Though small, Dachshunds are known for being both loyal and protective companions. They are packed with a big bark that makes for an exceptional guard dog against potential intruders or the occasional mailman. They exemplify courage in any situation, whether the opponent is a much larger dog or even a human. Your little Dachshund will be sure to put your safety first.

Low maintenance, high energy

This breed is naturally energetic and will get agitated without proper exercise. They love to run around and play with fellow dogs and are great with kids—tire the kids and dog out at the same time! Fortunately, that high energy comes with low maintenance. Due to their size, they require less maintenance costs. Small paws and a fraction of the hair to shed that you would normally find on any other breed.

A charming personality and big heart

A Dachshund loves to love and as we mentioned before, their personalities are priceless. The like to indulge in their playful side while chasing butterflies and then jump up on you to get in some much needed snuggles. Their tiny body will find the perfect place to nestle on your lap.
