# of photos: 13

Lively and affectionate; proud and bold, almost rash. Tenacious. Can be willful and clownish. Curious and mischievous, they are very clever and may attempt to train the owner rather than allow the opposite. Devoted to his family, some fanciers feel the long-haired variety is calmer than the other two types. The wire-haired variety is more outgoing and clown-like. All are slightly difficult to train. Dachshunds are good dogs to travel with. Normal (standard): Height 14-18 inches (35-45cm.); Weight- 20 pounds (9kg.) Miniature (dwarf): Height up to 14 inches (35cm.); Weight 9 pounds (4kg.)
