A Dachshund can make a great pet, so it's important to prepare your home for your new arrival. To start, provide them with their own comfortable space where they can relax and feel safe; a crate with a soft blanket is a perfect bed. Next, be sure to assess any potential dangers in your home. Dachshunds can be mischievous and can fit into tight gaps, so check for exposed outlets and wires.

It is certainly possible to take your Dachshund running with you--with some extra considerations. Dachshunds are wide-bodied, short-legged dogs, so they need a bit more care and protection than some of the other breeds. For instance, it is important to be mindful of the terrain you are running on; If it is particularly rough or uneven, the Dachshund's long back and stubby legs may cause injuries. As well, make sure the ambient temperature is appropriate for the breed; Dachshunds can overheat quickly.
