Do Dachshunds like water?

Most Dachshunds don’t naturally love water , but this can vary from dog to dog. Due to their short legs and long bodies, some might feel a bit awkward or unsure around water. That said, some Dachshunds enjoy playing in shallow water or swimming once they get comfortable. If you want to introduce your Dachshund to water, go slowly, keep it safe (use a life jacket), and make it fun with positive encouragement.
