Why Dachshunds are the worst breed?
Dachsies are not actually the worst breed of dog! Is there even a worst breed? All dogs are awesome! You should research Dachshunds properly before you decide to get one though! Dachsies were originally hunting dogs who would burrow into holes in the ground to catch their prey. As such, they’ve got a strong prey drive and have all the typical traits of a terrier: Tenacity, stubbornness, liveliness, etc. They’re not for everyone. But for the right people, they can make fantastic pets!
Is a Dachshund a good family dog?
Dachshunds are affectionate, playful, and devoted to their owners, so they can make great family pets! They’re not the most patient of breeds though, so make sure you teach your kids how to handle them with care.
Are Dachshunds good first dogs?
As mentioned above, Dachsies aren’t for everyone. They may be a little hard to train and they’ll need lots of mental and physical exercise to stay sane! But for the right owners, they can make excellent first-time pets. Not sure about that? Check out our gallery above to find out why!
