ANKC Standard of Points and Extension
The Dachshund
Six Varieties – One dog, three coats, two sizes
The Dachshund is a very intelligent dog that has a mind of his own. He responds positively to training, although his innate stubborn streak may sometimes exhibit itself.
If you want a challenge train your Dachshund for Obedience work.
Without any doubt, the Dachshund of any variety will be a clever, playful
and lively addition to any household.
A Dachshund is a splendid choice around children.
He is dedicated and protective as well as affectionate and playful
His size, cleanliness and lack of "doggy" odour are characteristics that please the lady of the house.
Dachshunds are alert watchdogs. Once they know what is expected they will loudly proclaim the approach of a stranger. The Dachshund is easy to love, but he gives much more than he receives. He is courageous to the point of rashness. His delightful antics will provide you with hours of pleasure.
If you want to be owned by your dog – buy a Dachshund
