After having big dogs most of our lives my partner decided that a smaller dog would be preferred as they don?t need much exercise and having 4 children to run around after already it sounded like a good idea. We saw an advert in the local paper , phoned the breeder and arranged a time to go and see the puppies, and found out the price was £300 (about right for this type of pedigree dog). That evening we went to the breeder?s home and viewed the most beautiful little things you could ever see, while there the breeders phone was like a hot line with other people wanting to come and see the pups. My partner and myself looked each one of the pups over and ... Read the complete review

If you don't know what the Dachshound look like, I can inform you that it is also called the "wiener dog", as it is known for its long back and it short legs. They were originally bred for hunting badgers and rabbit. There are two sizes of Dachshounds, the Standard and the Miniature, and there are three different varieties of coats, the Smooth Haired, the Wire haired and the Long Haired. Many long haired dachshounds have a very reddish fur, while the wire haired usually are more grey-blackish. One thing that has to be said about the Dachshound is that it is stubborn. Usually very stubborn, and to train them you will need to be quite ... Read the complete review

Dachsunds are undeniably very cute little dogs. There are three types - long-haired, smooth-haired and wire-haired. They all look very nice in their own ways, bless them. Unfortunately they have a problem. Temperementally they are almost entirely evil. It might seem hard to believe that an animal could be genuinely evil. After all, they can't really be said to be sentient in any way. However, in the case of the dachshund I think that I may well have stumbled across the only truly evil animal in all of creation. Unless you count that tiger in The Jungle Book. Our family had a long-haired miniature dachsund called Benji. We inherited him from our ... Read the complete review

I have always loved Dachshunds, and when I lived at home we all clubbed together and got Jake, a short haired brown miniature Dachshund. Jake now lives with my Dad and his new brother Toby a long haired dappled miniature dachshund. I think all pets have different personalities, so it's difficult to determine what is down to the breed and what is just personality. I'm not sure on prices as it depends on which type you want and the breeder but like all pure bred dogs, they can cost a lot, but it's worth it for the friendship that you get out of them. Jake and Toby are different types of dachshund, and there are lots to chose from, long ... Read the complete review

The Dachshund is an ideal pet. They were originally bred for hunting badgers. Although the miniatures were bred for hunting rabbits to replace the ferret. They come in 2 sizes Standard and Miniature. There are 3 varieties of coat, Long Haired, Smooth Haired and Wire Haired. The colours are Red, and Black & Tan. They are short legged dogs and have a strong power of scent. They have long backs and are well muscled. They have great characters and are excellent companions for adults and children. Lively and intelligent and like nothing more to be burrowing in fields and then curling up in front of a fire. You have to be very careful ... Read the complete review
