Dachshunds have long been members of my family (Jim’s) and we still maintain the link with Hula, our rescue puppy. She may not be 100% Dachshund, but she is certainly at least a half. Not that you could ever call a Dachshund a half a dog, they may look small but we know how well they uphold their rank in the household. they may look vetically challenged but don’t be fooled, bred in Germany as Badger Hunters, they go after beasts 3/4 times their size. Not only that but down darkened tunnels.
A Dachshund Is also a very photographic puppy and loves nothing more than being present in every family photograph. They are also easy to travel with because of their size and love of a good nap. I remember my mother driving everywhere with our Dachshund on her lap under the steering wheel. Not something you would see these days but just so cute. I was never convinced that my mother had to steer.
