Daschunds by Lily
Firstly, I am going to tell you about the best dog to get. It is a dog that does not need much walking and is not very big. This dog is a daschund.
What is a daschund?
Well, a daschund is a small dog from Germany and it means “Long- badger”. They are mostly called sausage dogs because they are so long, a bit like sausages! They have very long ears because in Germany they used to dig a lot so the long ears make no bugs crawl into them.
Daschunds’ backs
Daschunds have very long backs which need to be looked after. If they break their spine, they cannot survive. But don’t worry because there are some ways you can prevent this from happening. If you have stairs in your house you must carry them up it, and when you carry a daschund, always carry it horizontally. If you see or carry your daschund vertically it is very bad for its back.
Types of Daschund
There many types of Daschunds you can choose from. There is long haired, short- haired or wired hair. The colours you can get our black and tanned (brown) and tanned. Here are some pictures of what they look like.
Finally, I will sum it up for you. A daschund is a great pet to have but you need to look after it well.
