The Dachshund is one of the better breeds of pet dogs, and is by nature independent and easy to care for. The Dachshund was originally a hunting dog and is smart and clever enough to quickly carry out his master’s orders. Although the Dachshund is small in size, it is actually physically strong. Dachshunds are able to adapt to harsh environments, resist cold and are not susceptible to disease, making them one of the better cared for breeds of pet dogs. In terms of feeding, the Dachshund is not a picky eater and has a strong gastrointestinal function, so it will not easily suffer from digestive diseases. However, Dachshunds are an obese breed, so breeders need to control the amount of food they feed to avoid Dachshunds becoming too obese.
