There
are three types of Dachshunds: which are Longhaired, Wirehaired, and Shorthaired.
The Dachshund is a short-legged, low-set dog breed, of the hound family.
Dachshunds are originally made for hunting burrow-dwelling animals. Dachshunds
are known for being playful, stubborn, and loyal. They are also known for
having spinal problems, due to an extremely long spinal column and short rib
cage. In addition to back problems, the breed is also inclined to patellar
luxation, which is where the kneecap can become dislodged.
