As family dogs, dachshunds are loyal companions and good watchdogs. They are good with children if treated well. They can be slightly difficult to train. Some dachshund fanciers say there are personality differences among the different varieties of the breed.

Fun-loving personality aside, the Dachshund's popularity makes them one of the more expensive dogs to purchase.

The primary reason for their excessive barking is that these little weiner dogs were originally hunting dogs. Thus, Doxies are more prone to barking than other breeds.

Male Dachshunds are more fun-loving, clownish, even-tempered and dependent. While female Dachshunds tend to be more independent, temperamental and reserved. But there are plenty of Dachshund owners who would say their dogs are the opposite of this! Every Dachshund has their own personality.

Doxies come in two sizes: standard or miniature, and three coat varieties: smooth, wirehaired, and longhaired. Dachshunds are protective and territorial, but they thrive on close human companionship. The Dachshund is a generally healthy breed with an average lifespan of 12-15 years.

In general, we would suggest that the maximum length of time you should leave any dog alone is 4 hours and that is for an adult dog. They should not, in any case, be left in a small cage (crate) for long periods and you may find that a foldaway pen might be more practical and allow your dog more space.

Fawn (Isabella) & Tan

You can get smooth-haired, wire-haired, and long-haired fawn and tan Dachshunds. Due to their rarity, Dachshunds with fawn coloring can cost up to $3,500 or perhaps even more in some cases.

Your Dachshund's adorable ears may be the site of the unrelenting stench. Mites, infections, and built-up earwax can all cause unpleasant odors. Black specks resembling coffee grounds often accompanied by an excessive amount of wax signify ear mites.
