So you want to own a Dachshund?
|
Dachshunds require minimal
routine brushing to keep their coats healthy and in good condition.
The longhaired and wirehaired Dachshunds may require extra grooming or help
from a professional.
The Dachshund is naturally free from "doggy" odor.
The Dachshund makes a good companion whether you live in a small city
apartment or the country. Dachshunds are loyal.
Dachshunds are generally easy to train for the show ring, and many of them
really enjoy showing. |
