Dachshunds need to build muscles through exercise to protect their elongated backs. But there is one thing that you should be aware of about sausage dogs. You shouldn’t let them run up and down the stairs. And you shouldn’t let them jump on or off furniture. They can get injured this way because of what their bodies are like.
Usually, sausage dogs live from 12 to 16 years if we look after them properly and treat them with kindness. However, that means spending a lot of time worrying about their backs and whether there isn’t too much stress placed on them. You should also keep an eye on their ears: they can get infections easily, so be sure to clean them regularly.
