We are animal lovers, I have had many dogs, several different breeds as well as goats, chickens, pot bellied pigs, rabbits, etc. What we love about our dachshunds is they have great personalities. They seem to become very bonded with the family members. Our first male, Winston, was so in-tune with everyone's feelings he would refuse to eat and would lay in bed with whoever in the family was sick or sad.(sometimes all day)
Dachshunds are ready to be the perfect pet for 'their' person, if you want to play, they are ready to play. They can fetch a ball or play tag for hours, but if you want to be a couch potato, they can be ready to do that too.
They are the perfect size for an apartment. But have enough energy to run around a full sized ranch! They can sometimes be stubborn with housebreaking, and some are very vocal, but with some consistency they will learn what it is you expect from them. They are ready to be part of a family.
We feed Purina Pro Plan to our dogs and pups. Our dogs love it and it leaves them healthy and looking great! https://www.proplan.com/dogs
