I only own longs and they seemed to be more layed back then the others..

1. What is my relationship with the breed? (ie breeder, first time owner etc) Owner of 3 mini longs (exhibit) 2. Where and why was the breed first developed? Dachshund is German and translated means Badger Dog. They were bred short and long to go into burrows after badgers and other burrowing creatures to flush them out. 3. How common is it in Australia? I find smooths are more common then the long/wire 4. What is the average lifespan? 15/16 5. What is the general temperament/personality? Faithful, versatile and good tempered. Good with kids, i take mine to my daughters day care at times.. and strangers they would lick you to death.. its like any dog.. they need socialisation they just love ppl 6. How much daily exercise is needed for the average adult? I wouldnt say to much.. mine love to have a run outside and chase a ball 7. Is it a breed that a first time dog owner could easily cope with? Yes.. they are great lil dogs! 8. Can solo dogs of this breed easily occupy themselves for long periods? Yes but why just stop at one? LoL 9. How much grooming is required? smooths no.. Longs well a brush here and there.. wires.. i heard they can do alot of work and alot of hand stripping 10. Is it too boisterous for very small children or for infirm people (unless the dog is well trained)? No my daughter is 4 and just loves them.. i had them when she was a baby too.. they just love kids 11. Are there any common hereditary problems a puppy buyer should be aware of? PRA in longs is the biggest Back probs.. well if u keep the dog at a healthy weight u shouldnt have a prob...alot of back probs in dachies are owners fault 12. When buying a puppy, what are the things you should ask of the breeder? (eg what health tests have been done (if applicable) and what is an acceptable result to those tests so the buyer has an idea of what the result should be) PRA for longs... Backs, iv never had any probs with my dogs
