Page "Dachshund" Paragraph 16

According to the American Kennel Club ’ s breed standards, " the dachshund is clever, lively and courageous to the point of rashness, persevering in above and below ground work, with all the senses well-developed.

Any display of shyness is a serious fault.

" Their temperament and body language give the impression that they do not know or care about their relatively small size.

Like many small hunting dogs, they will challenge a larger dog.

Indulged dachshunds may become snappy or extremely obstinate.
