Meet Axel
Dachshund (Smooth-Haired), 4 years old
My favourite thing about Axel is...
The affection he shows and his mischievous ways.
The biggest challenge with Axel is...
His barking and the fact that he is shy around people and other pets and acts aggressively because of it.
The most surprising thing about owning a Dachshund (Smooth-Haired) is...
how funny and intelligent he is.
What I wish I’d known about Dachshunds (Smooth-Haired) is...
that they have separation anxiety.
Did you know?
Dachshunds are big barkers which can be traced back to their hunting days when they’d trap prey underground and then call for the hunters to come and locate them. It’s likely you’ll have to train them how to stop so they don’t become a nuisance!
