Why Adopt a Dachshund?
Dachshunds, commonly known as sausage dogs or Vienna dogs, are a popular breed in the United States and Europe. They originated in Germany and were bred to chase rabbits and badgers in tunnels, hence the name, which means “badger hound”. They are known to be very clingy and like to sit on their owners’ laps.
According to the American Kennel Club (AKC), Dachshunds are highly intelligent as well as loyal and loyal companions. Dachshunds are strong-willed and intelligent, which makes them more difficult to train than easy-going breeds like golden retrievers.

“Dachshunds were bred to be independent hunters of dangerous game,” the AKC states on its website. “They may be brave enough to be reckless and a bit stubborn, but their lovable nature and unique appearance have won the hearts of millions around the world. .”
Dachshunds are great for owners who live in small apartments or don’t have large backyards because they require little exercise compared to other breeds. They are low maintenance pets and most are happy to keep busy in their small living environment and keep them healthy with short daily walks.
Despite their stubborn, headstrong nature, Dachshunds bond extremely closely with their owners and tend to lock onto one particular member of the family rather than others.
