Dachshunds are notoriously stubborn. Keep your dog on a lead in busy areas and always clean up after them.

Food, vet bills and pet insurance are expensive (back surgery $8000+). Do you have the finances to give a dog the care it deserves?

Dachshunds need a safe and comfortable environment.

Dachshunds suffer from separation anxiety and need to be part of your everyday life and not left alone for long periods.
