The Dachshund breed of canine is such a fun
breed. These pint size dogs have big ears, long bodies, short legs, long tails
and big personalities. They don’t realize they’re small and often times try to
do things that big dogs do including jump on and off furniture and play with
children. What’s wrong with these two common canine activities? Nothing if it
were another breed. The Dachshund, however, is an exception. Because of his
long body the Dachshund is prone to different back pains and injuries. Playing
with children when supervised is fine, but not unsupervised. If a child tries
to pick up the Dachshund without support the irregularly long back of the dog
then there is risk the dogs back could be injured or even break. The same for
furniture, if he misses when jumping on or jumps off too hard he could severely
injure his back. Read more here or call your local pet clinic Riverbend, ON.
