Dachshunds require minimal routine brushing to keep their coats healthy and in good condition. The longhaired and wirehaired varities may require extra grooming.
The Dachshund is naturally free from "doggy" odor.
The Dachshund makes a good companion whether you live in a small city apartment or the country. Dachshunds are loyal.
Dachshunds are generally easy to train for the show ring, and many of them really enjoy showing!
