Lichaam en bouw

Dachshund is a small dog with companion background whose build should be read beside moderate movement demand, moderate trainability, and a grooming load of 2/5.

The Dachshund was developed in Germany as a low, determined hunting dog able to work around burrows. Its long back, short legs, nose, and courage are all part of that history, so confidence work and careful body management matter.
