Sight
Dachshunds can detect movement at a far greater distance than we can, but they can not see as well up close. They can see great in low light, but do not distinguish many colors well.
Hearing
Dachshunds hear so much better than we do. In fact, they hear at least four times better than we can. They are very sensitive to high pitched sounds and music.
Touch
Dachshunds have a need to be touched. They are a very social animal and love to be played with, petted, and groomed.
Taste
Dachshunds do not have taste buds as we do, so they will try eating most anything. It is important to keep an eye on what they eat. Dogs are, what is called, omnivorous so they eat both meat and veggies.
Smell
Dachshunds sense of smell is by far their best sensory organ. These dogs can track a scent that is weeks old. Be aware that they will often follow a scent and stray from home if left out.
