cream long haired dachshund

cream long haired dachshund are very affectionate and love to cuddle. If you sit down, and there is room, they will lay down beside you. If there is no room beside you, they will probably want on your lap.

No matter what their size, Dachshunds are a delightful addition to any family, which is why they have ranked near the top of most popular dogs lists since the 1950s.

Their cute appearance and lively disposition have inspired many affectionate nicknames for the breed, including wiener dog, hot dog, sausage dog, Doxie, Dashie, and (especially in Germany) Teckels, Dachels, or Dachsels

Character

You can’t help but smile when you look at a confident Dachshund, proudly carrying his long, muscular body on short legs, his elongated head held high with a bold, intelligent look in his eyes. Because of their almost comical appearance, Dachshunds have long been a favorite subject of cartoonists and toy makers.

But their cute appearance was developed for far more serious and practical reasons. Their short legs enable them to dig and maneuver through tunnels to the corner and even fight badgers and other animals, while their large chests give them plenty of “heart” for the fight.

Dachshunds are brave, but they can be somewhat stubborn, and have an independent spirit, especially when hunting.

Dachshunds are prone to having slipped disks in their backs, which can lead to partial or full paralysis. Don’t let them jump from high places, and when you hold them, support their backs.

in your household, the “prey” most likely will be your Dachshund’s toys and he will effectively “kill” them one after the other.

If you don’t watch out, your Dachshund can become fat and lazy, which will put more strain on his fragile back. Be sure to monitor your Dachshund’s food intake and keep him at a healthy weight.
