GENERAL INFO

The Dachshund is described as clever, lively, and courageous to the point of rashness.  He's bred for perseverance, which is another way of saying that he can be stubborn. Dachshunds have a reputation for being entertaining and fearless, but what they want most is to cuddle with their people. For many Dachshund people, this characteristic outweighs having to deal with the breed's insistence on having his own way. The Dachshund personality can also vary with coat type. Because the wirehaired Dachshunds have terrier in their background, they can be mischievous troublemakers. Longhairs are calm and quiet, and  Smooths have a personality that lies somewhere in between. Like every dog, Dachshunds need early socialization-exposure to many different people, sights, sounds, and experiences when they're young. Socialization helps ensure that your Dachshund puppy grows up to be a well-rounded dog.
