Someone told us that daschunds don't need walking because they're legs are too small or it has pressure on their backs. Is this true?

I have two daschunds. I know you should definitely walk them the real source of back problems for this breed comes form the dog being overweight or jumping/ going up and down stairs. They need exercise weight can be a very major problem.

Of course they can be walked. All dogs need exercise and enjoy being out with their masters. They can play and run and have a great time. Taking a dachshund to the park and throwing a ball for them to play with is acceptable as well. There is no reason in the world you can't enjoy walking and playing with your dachshund.

I would say yes to walks but no to long walks. The length of time dogs need for walks depend on the dog itself. But as other people have said, all dogs and animals need exercise of some kind. :)

So if walking around is bad for the dog's back, how do they get round the house? Fly?

Yes, but you have to take smaller steps. All dogs should be exercised. Enjoy.
