Dachshund Dogs Temperament
The dachshund breed of dog is known to be very playful, one thing they love to do is chase small animals, birds, toy balls or anything you can throw for them, when you see them chase these things you will see that they were masters at the job they were bred for which is to hunt badgers.
Dachshunds are also known to be pretty stubborn which can in turn make them hard to train. They are very loyal to their owners and love companionship; if they are left alone, they will usually whine until someone comes to spend time with them.
Dachshunds need an owner that can care for their every need and at most times put the dog first. Every dachshund’s temperament will be different from dog to dog. Some take a laid back approach to life while others are energetic and run all around the home never stopping for a rest. If dachshunds are left to get bored they will usually use this time to be destructive and if the necessary time is not taken to train and care for them properly they can easily become aggressive.
As with many other small breeds of dog the dachshund does not care that it is in a small body and will walk proud and stand up for itself. They are commonly known as the big dog that comes in a small package.
