Dachshunds have a few habits that might seem odd to some. They like to roll around in stinky stuff and love to dig; not not all that unusual given that they're hunting dogs with a long history of digging after prey. Some may say they’re unusual looking, but more say they look absolutely adorable! Ready for a slightly odd Dachshund? Irvine CA breeders have them!
Yes. You should not force your Dachs to regularly climb stairs. Their bodies just aren't built for that type of movement. They're long and short, and stairs put undue stress on their spines. It’s best to keep their toys, food, and water all on the same level, so they don’t need to use stairs. For more about Dachshunds for sale, Irvine CA breeders are ready to chat.
