Dachshund

Long-backed hounds with big personalities. Ramps and careful handling protect their spines — especially jumping on and off furniture.
SizeSmall
TemperamentBold, curious, sometimes stubborn
ExerciseModerate — walks plus safe sniff time
GroomingLow (smooth) to moderate (long/wire coats)
Care notes
- Use ramps for sofas and beds where possible.
- Keep weight in a healthy range to protect the back.
- Secure fencing — they were bred to go underground after scent.
Intervertebral disc disease is a known breed risk — discuss prevention with your vet.
