Book Cover & Preview Text
The Dachshund is a delightful, intelligent, lovable, active, and loyal breed of dog which has no problem fitting into just about any type of household. They only require moderate exercise, and can adapt easily to small apartment living. They are strictly an inside pet, and should never be left to live outdoors. They can be an ideal family pet for families with children as long as the children understand how to treat the dog. They make a perfect companion, warm and affectionate, yet will serve as a wonderful watchdog, never failing to let you know that someone has invaded their property with a loud bark. When someone new comes to visit your home, a Dachshund will usually stand back from them, observing the new arrival from a safe distance, until their affections have been finally been won over. Once you have made a friend of them, they will be a friend for life and will remember that person the next time they come to visit. You can't help but love this friendly, playful little dog with how they manage to use their darling facial expressions and how they just seem to have a way of speaking to you with their expressive eyes. They enjoy interaction with their owners, and love attention showered on them by people. You can expect them to roll of their backs for a tummy rub when guests arrive, and wagging their tail with excitement, as they have a way of demanding attention when they feel they aren't getting enough of it.
