Want a happy bustle at home? A quiet and warm afternoon rest in an embrace with your beloved? Want unswerving and faithful mutual love? All you will if you acquire a dwarf dachshund. After all, the dwarf dachshund is a real family member.
The ultimate dream of a dwarf dachshund is to be able to get on your lap. But, even standing on its hind legs, it will hardly reach you to the calves. The whole breed is divided into "dwarfs" and "rabbits". The first in the adult state does not exceed four and a half kilograms of weight, the girth of their chest 35 centimeters. And the second weigh about three kilograms, chest circumference up to 30 centimeters. They are born with a mass of not more than 100 grams. The dwarf dachshund at home is, first of all, a real family member who does not live with you, but with you. It will not give you any trouble, but it will not allow you to neglect yourself. It requires more respect than care. She will not eat you: in a day it is enough for 100-150 grams of ordinary dog food. Initially, this breed was bred in Germany for hunting. Uncomplicated, hardy, brisk, brave, with good teeth, they could perfectly catch badgers, rabbits and small rodents. But now they are so domesticated that it is much easier to imagine on your couch than in a dense forest.
First, the wire-haired dachshunds were withdrawn. But in our life everything is striving for simplification, acceleration and comfort. Long and short-haired individuals appeared, more convenient for settling them at home. The coats are subject to trimming - that is, plucking the wool. Long hair is occasionally combed. And the short-haired live on their own, without any hairdressers. Color of the breed is diverse. From the classical - black and tan and red, to exotic - chocolate, marble, boar and coffee-boar.
Dwarf dachshunds do not need long walks. If, on the other hand, there is not enough time and willpower for the short outings to the yard at 8 am, there is no urgent need to walk with them twice a day. Unobtrusive dwarf dachshunds without special problems for themselves and for you will agree to use disposable diapers from the pet store. Although, of course, like any living creature, the dachshund is useful and pleasant to be in the fresh air. In the courtyard, she quietly contacts with large dogs and can stand not only for themselves, but also for you. Her courage is in her blood, even from times when she was a real hunting dog. But from large dogs, behaving aggressively, it should be protected.
With children, the dwarf dachshunds get on very well, but their character, full of self-esteem, already manifests here. They allow the kid to do anything with him. But according to their understanding, everything has its limits. They put themselves above children and always determine exactly who in the house is the master. A woman can take care of them all her life, but if the owner is a man, she will never achieve greater love from the dachshund than to him. This dog is small, but as they say, remote. If she wants, she will give a paw, and get up, and sit down, and bring slippers. But if you do not want to, you will not do anything with it. So, you are behaving in something wrong with your long-eared, tailed, woolly, but still real friend. It should not only be loved, but respected. She respects herself. And you will live with her soul in the soul, if you treat her as she deserves, and treat her with care.
The first thing that catches your eye when you see a dwarf dachshund - a real family member, is an expressive look. It seems like a desire to make friends with you. If you, succumbing to his immense charm, begin to stroke him - he immediately falls apart in front of you with a pussy up and knocks on the floor a tail no longer than your palm. Dwarf dachshunds are very sociable. When you return home after a hard day, you will be waited for by a whole flurry of positive emotions from the meeting with you. After all, your friend did not see you all day and was terribly bored! Cheerfulness and activity in them persists even at the most respectable age. And that your tax is not really bored, it is not difficult to get two or three individuals at once. The fact is that care for them will take a little more than one. It is better that they were same-sex.
Mothers-dachshunds produce usually not one, but two or four tiny puppies. Miniature dachshunds are smaller in size than a cat, and if you leave the country in the summer, then the usual "carry-over" for domestic animals is quite suitable. She carries the road peacefully. Be careful at the dacha. A dwarf dachshund can get lost in the labyrinths of high grass fields and get lost among courgettes, raspberries and garden flowers. There are no special diseases for miniature dachshunds, as there are no problems with the spine. Their nervous system is strong. And with a timely vaccination (like any ordinary dog), the baby will spend with you up to 16 years of living together.
