Looking For A Small Dog? See If Dachshunds Are The Right Breed For Your Family!

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
(Free-Press-Release.com) October 6, 2009 -- As a member of the hound group, dachshunds were bred to hunt badgers and small game. They are derived from the oldest breed of German hunting dogs. Dachshunds are very active small dogs and have lots of stamina, when it comes to chasing prey for a long period of time. Being small in stature, allows them to excel in hunting small rodents such as woodchucks, rabbits, and mice.

Dachshunds have three coat varieties: smooth, long haired, and wire haired.

Smooth dachshunds are most apt to attach themselves to one person and are usually more distant with strangers. They are most often found in a reddish-brown color and easily cleaned with a damp cloth, as their coat is short, shiny, and smooth. A quick brush weekly with a soft natural bristle or hound glove is enough for this breed.

Most likely to be mistaken for another breed, the wire haired dachshund is the least common. Their entire body is covered with a uniform, tight, short, thick, rough, hard outer coat, with an undercoat that is finer, softer, and shorter, evenly distributed between the coarser hairs. However, the wire haired dachshunds' ears, eyebrows, and jaw are not like the rest of their hair. Wire haired dachshunds tend to be livelier and more outgoing than smooth hairs.

The long haired dachshund presents a look of elegance, with a sleek, flowing, and shiny coat. To prevent mats and tangles, especially if they run in the woods and collect burrs, they need brushing and combing everyday. Long hairs tend to be the quietest of the dachshund breed.

Dachshunds are great family pets. However, they tend to get along better with older children, simply because older kids understand how to approach dogs carefully. Take precaution when dachshunds are around other children besides the ones in their own family, they may tend to snap, especially at younger children who are high strung.
