Yes, you can own a Dachshund in Zhuhai. Dachshunds are not considered large or aggressive breeds, which means they are not prohibited in Zhuhai and are eligible for a dog license.
Dachshunds are permitted in Zhuhai because they are neither large nor aggressive breeds, and are not banned in any city in China. This makes them legal to keep as pets. However, despite not being banned, they are not commonly kept as pets due to their specific needs. While they are admired for their unique appearance, their short legs, especially in long-haired dachshunds, can result in them getting dirty easily. They are also prone to spinal issues, which can create challenges for owners. It's important to remember that every dog breed has its pros and cons; prospective owners should understand these thoroughly before deciding if the breed aligns with their lifestyle and expectations. A potential owner needs to consider whether they can handle these specific drawbacks of the breed before getting a dog.
Are Dachshunds Aggressive?
Dachshunds have some aggressive tendencies. Originally bred as hunting dogs, they still retain some of those characteristics even as domestic pets. However, while they might have some aggressive traits, they are not generally prone to attacking other dogs or humans without provocation. This means they are usually a safe breed if raised properly and respected. Therefore, Dachshunds can still be great pets for the right owner.
