Dachshund

The Dachshund dog breed is one of the most popular dogs in the United States of America, they are loved because of their beautiful and interesting personalities. They are ideal for families who live in an apartment or small houses and they are very intelligent, courageous and independent.

“Dachshunds are known for their ever-alert expression and friendly, vivacious personality,” explains Dr. Peltz. “Smart and vigilant, the Dachshund is bred to be an independent hunter.” These low-maintenance dogs are fans of indoor games, perfect for the family that isn’t all that outdoorsy. Still, Doxies do love to sniff and explore, so adding a little extra time outside around potty breaks is ideal to meet exercise requirements. “Keeping them at a healthy weight is very important to [their] overall health,” said the doctor.
