The choice to kennel your dachshund when your family goes on vacation depends greatly on both the individual dachshund and the kennels available in your area.

The Dalmatian is the only breed of dog that gets gout. Gout is an arthritic condition that causes inflammation of the joints. Gout is usually a human condition, but, for some reason, our dalmation friends get it too. This is commonly thought to be due to inbreeding.

If you are planning to kennel your dachshund, consider the dachshund�s personality. If your dachshund does not get along with other DOGS or cats then the kennel may be a bad choice. You may want to have someone come to your house to watch your dachshund instead.

While adult dalmations are covered in cute black spots, dalmation puppies are actually born solid white. Their spots don't show up until they are at least a week old. Sometimes not until they are a month old.

If you do choose to kennel your dachshund, you should be sure that the dachshund knows how to sit on command. That will help the kennel staff, especially during meal time.

What seems normal to you might be unexpected to them.

Tour each kennel that you are considering. A good kennel should be fairly clean. However, it�s nearly impossible to keep any kennel completely clean at all times. Also, the staff should be friendly and well informed. A good kennel should offer medical care if your dachshund gets sick or injured on their watch. They should also require that all animals are up to date on their shots.

Basset hounds are fabulous at hunting and they make wonderful companion dogs. However, even with those great qualities, basset hounds are horrible swimmers! Their legs are simply too small to keep their heavy, long bodies afloat properly.

Some kennels have more features than others, so, beyond these simple basics, the choice of which kennel to bring your dachshund to is mostly a matter of personal preference. The best advice, when choosing a kennel, is to follow your instincts.
