2. The character of small dachshund
Generally speaking, small dachshunds are very cheerful, independent, intelligent, and show high vigilance, which is usually difficult to be deceived or evaded by dogs of other breeds. In addition, the tacit understanding between them and their owners is also very high. Once a deep relationship of mutual trust is established, they will always accompany their owners, and they will always be loyal and take care of their family members.
However, it should be noted that the dachshund is not naturally very friendly, and it is more aggressive. Therefore, in daily training, the owner needs to help it avoid attacking strangers and establish a healthy social outlook.
