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.

Our trip in the @escapecampervans around the Olymp

It was also cold (yet not too miserable considering it's still winter) and a bit of a whirlwind trip.

I need a comfortable place to sit and work while on the road this summer that "allows dogs" and doesn't require me leaving them in the car alone. . A rooftop tent allows more off-road access (because it would be on my 4runner TRD) but the van was pretty capable on dirt roads and had a dinette.
