By Anita Ortega


There is a wide variety of types of dachshunds for you to choose from. Red dachshunds are a really cute breed of dog. Their bodies resemble a corndog and their legs are very short. Some people refer to these dogs as sausage dogs. These dogs were especially bread to hunt down badgers and little rabbits.

Sausage dogs general pick up a lot of weight they tend to look more like little Frank fritters. The average sausage dog can reach up to 16lb to 32lb and the little miniature scan reach up to 12lb. Many people fall in love with their big brown eyes and their cute little floppy ears. They are very playful when they are puppies and love to play fetch.

These dogs can become little yappers, they start barking at just about anything that comes across their way. These dogs are very intelligent and are incredibly stubborn most of the time. These dogs don't like to be told what to do, so training can be very frustrating so it is suggested not to even try it.

With all small dogs, you will find that sausages are not really friendly when it comes to meeting new people. If you have small kids and are keen to buy a dog, you will find that this breed might not be best for you. They are not very fond of small children and often bit them.

Some dog lovers who love their dogs to bits will enter their dog into dog competitions so that they get to show their babies off. You will find that most of these show dogs are pampered and very spoiled. On a regular basis they will get their teeth cleaned and go for grooming.

Sausage dogs are related to the hound dog family. Both of these breeds are bread for the sole purpose of hunting. They were originally from Germany and their name means badger dog. Hunters loved using these dogs as they were small enough to follow a badger or rabbits down into their holes.
