Dachshund-Specific Information and Articles

Although our blog is about hiking with any kind of small dog, I do own Dachshunds so occasionally write about things specific to the breed. I know that a lot of our readers own and love Dachshunds and are sometimes only looking for information about them.

Because of this, I put all of my information specifically about Dachshunds in one place so it was easy to find.
