Taking your Dachshund running may be a fun option for some owners, however you should always consider the specific needs of your own canine companion before doing so. Some Dachshunds may be up for it, while others may not have the physical capabilities or personal preferences to enjoy this activity.

Dachshunds can make fantastic companions for children, as long as certain protocols are in place. Generally, Dachshunds are good with children as they make loyal, playful, and energetic pets. Dachshunds also tend to form strong and close attachments with their family members, which can be especially beneficial if they are the same age as their youthful owners.
