Exercise is paramount in a Dachshund’s life! A regular exercise routine not only contributes to your Dachshund’s mental health, it also aides in the prevention of unnecessary health risks such as obesity, which is the primary cause of disc injury, a medical condition to which Dachshunds are prone to if proper exercise is ignored. The Dachshund is a lively, energetic breed, therefore they require exercise, which can be met with brisk walks or chasing balls in the backyard (given your backyard is securely fenced!).
My Dachshund enjoys brisks walks around the neighborhood three times a week, and when we’re camping, she loves nature walks. Recently, we hiked a 5.5 mile nature trail in one of our state parks. This picture shows her inspecting a local native of the state park. 
You don’t need a 5.5 mile walk with your Dachshund to ensure he or she is getting enough exercise. Playing chase in the backyard or in the house each day will make certain that your Dachshund is getting the exercise he or she needs to maintain a healthy mind and body!
My little Dachshund, Good Golly Miss Molly, 
would like me to ask visitors to this blog to vote for the t-shirt I designed and entered into the Sport Your Support T-Shirt contest. I have already taken the first step toward an ultimate political glory. To help me win, please take a minute and vote for this t-shirt. Remember, your vote counts! Thanks for the vote!!!
I really don’t know why, but the first time that I saw a dachshund, I just fell in love. It might be that they are so unique from other dog breeds. They have this pitter-patter loveable quality that I think that is missing from other dog varieties.
On my car I have dachshund bumper sticker to let others know that I love my dog and I am not afraid to show it. Through this display I have met many other people who have the same interests that I do.
It is theorized by some that the history of dachshunds the long loveable dog go all the way back to ancient Egypt. Images of a dog with many of the dachshund’s specific characteristics were found on the walls of Egyptian tombs. References to the dog are made in some surviving Egyptian artifacts that point to the dachshund being a hunting dog for the elite community.
Dachshund art is still much a part of our lives today as it was for the ancient Egyptians. The respect that people have for the beauty and intelligence of the dachshund still resounds in dachshund loving people all throughout the world.
