Questions & Answers
A Dachshund is a small to medium-sized breed of dog that is characterized by long, low-set bodies, short legs, and long, thin snouts. They usually weigh up to 32 pounds and measure between 8-9 inches at the shoulder. Dachshunds were originally bred to hunt small game, such as rabbits and badgers, and their long snouts and short legs make them well-suited for the task. Today however, they make loving family pets and are incredibly loyal to their owners.
Dachshunds do not commonly shed as much as many other breeds of dog, however they are not considered to be a non-shedding breed. Typically, Dachshunds have shorter coats which require less grooming, and overall, they tend to shed less than many other breeds. Although Dachshunds shed less than many other breeds, they still need regular brushing and grooming to help keep their coats healthy and reduce shedding. When maintained properly, shed hairs can be minimized giving the appearance of a non-shedding breed.
Dachshunds, also known affectionately as "weenies" or "wiener dogs", are incredibly loyal, friendly, and full of energy. When it comes to their dietary needs, they do require a bit of attention and specialized care. Generally speaking, Dachshunds should have a moderate-protein diet that contains high-quality ingredients such as real meats, poultry, and fish. Avoid products with fillers like wheat, corn, and other grains. Just as with humans, wide variety is key.
Yes, Dachshunds do have special requirements. They need regular exercise, like any other dog, preferably involving low-impact activities that will not hurt their back due to their long spines. Due to their somewhat unique physiology, they have a higher risk of developing intervertebral disc disease, thus should be discouraged from jumping off of high furniture and running up or down stairs. Dachshunds should also consistently be monitored for weight gain as it can complicate their risk of joint and disc disease.

Absolutely! Taking your Dachshund running can be a great way to bond with them while also allowing them to get the physical exercise they need.

Your Dachshund should be at least 9 months old before going for runs and if you run longer distances you should do so on softer, grassy surfaces. Also, training your Dachshund to run on a leash is highly recommended.
Dachshunds can make wonderful companions for first-time owners, but like any breed, they come with certain responsibilities. Not only do they need plenty of companionship, they require dedicated socialization to ensure their good behavior around other animals and people.

With their small stature and cute features, they are often quite easy to Establish a bond with, and their loyalty and devotion make them great lifelong friends.
Training your Dachshund is a great way to ensure they grow up to be well-behaved and happy. A combination of positive reinforcement techniques and clear restrictions is key. Start by setting reasonable expectations for your pup, taking into account their size and age. Establish a routine for eating, exercising, and potty breaks.

Be sure to offer plenty of rewards and praise when your pup achieves success.
