Why You Need A Dachshund In Your Life

The Dachshund, commonly known as the wiener dog, has been around for 300 years. They were initially bred as hunting dogs in Germany. Their name means "badger hunter." 

Their small stature, endearingly long face, and lively disposition make them the ideal modern-day pet. This article will provide you with all of the reasons why you should add a Dachshund to your household.

They Make An Excellent Travel Companion

The Dachshund's tiny stature is one of its finest qualities. They typically grow to be 20 to 22 centimetres tall and weigh 7 to 14 kilograms. This makes them an ideal travel companion because you can easily transport your Dachshund anyplace in a bag, such as to a shop or a restaurant. 

They Make A Wonderful Pet

This dog makes an excellent pet because it takes up little space in your home due to its small size, and it is inexpensive because it does not consume as much food as other breeds. This is possibly one of the most significant economical advantages of this dog. Furthermore, because these dogs do not shed frequently, there will be less hair for you to clean. They also do not require a lot of activity, making them low-maintenance dogs.

They Have One Of The Most Pleasant Temperament

Dachshunds are noted for having expressive eyes and varied facial expressions. You can't help but grin as you watch them jump about to play with their favourite toys. Dachshunds are inherently active and love chasing things because they were raised to hunt small animals.

Dachshunds are excellent family pets since they are both devoted companions and watchdogs. They will make wonderful companions for the family's children if they’ve been introduced to them at a young age.

As a rule of thumb, here's a simple tip to tell a Dachshund's personality from another. The long-coat Dachshund; for example, is said to be calmer than the smooth-coat type, but the wire-coat Dachshund is more extroverted and clown-like. 

They Are Low In Maintenance

When deciding to become a dog parent, grooming and cleanliness are critical considerations. In this regard, dachshunds are easy to care for when compared to other breeds.

Dachshunds shed in a moderate and manageable manner. Smooth-coated Dachshunds don't need to be washed frequently; weekly wipe-downs are plenty to keep them looking fresh and presentable. While long-haired dachshunds require a bit more attention, they will benefit from a weekly brushing to get rid of any tangles and avoid matting, which may trap dirt and lead to infections and make it uncomfortable for your dog.   

Although wirehaired dachshunds shed less than their smooth-haired and long-haired siblings, they must be “stripped” roughly twice a year — this includes plucking away the dead hairs from their coats. 

Taking care of these requirements regularly keeps both your dog and your home cleaner and odour-free, reducing the chance of dander clinging to your rugs and furniture and stinking up the entire place. As a result, keeping your puppies cuddle-ready at all times. 

You'll Have A Lifetime Friend

A Dachshund has an anticipated life expectancy of 12 to 16 years if properly cared for, which means they can be long-term pals and companions, growing with your family.

Your Dachshund will be your most devoted companion –  following you everywhere, photobombing every effort at a good photograph with their cute faces, ready to snuggle at any moment, or simply making you laugh with their silly antics!  

They Are Simply Adorable

Let's face it: Dachshunds are incredibly cute. Their lively, fun personality, adorable small legs, and silky hair make them the ideal family companion. They are so well-liked and cherished that they made Time's list of the Top 10 Most Popular Dog Breeds. Do yourself a favour and bring a Dachshund into your family right now!
