Daug Temperament and Behaviour
The Daug is a loving and sociable breed that is usually very good with children of all ages. They are playful and fun-loving, but can also be calm, gentle, and sensitive. They are very adaptable, and are capable of adjusting to whatever environment they are in. They are very intelligent and respond well to training and, because they are so smart, they are easy to train.
Daug Activity Requirements
Dachshunds are a fun-loving, adventurous, and lively dog that is great for both families and single people. While they are often stereotyped as being lazy and stubborn, Dachshunds are very playful and like to stay active. While a backyard is ideal, Dachshunds can be happy in almost any home environment. They do, however, require a lot of attention and affection. They are a very loyal and caring breed that thrives on human contact. If you are looking for a dog that is content to spend most of their time lounging on the couch, a Dachshund is not the best choice. They do, however, make great companions for people who enjoy the outdoors.
