Dachshund - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Under the History section there is a really interesting picture of an "old-style" dachshund with longer legs.
I like the short legs though.
Anyways, thanks for sharing this. Very interesting.
Not the best idea to let them climb stairs. Because they have such long backs, they're more prone to back problems. So if they climb up a couple of times, no biggie. But don't let yours do so multiple times a day. If you want them to come upstairs or downstairs with you it's best to carry them...
