Questions & Answers
Dachshunds are an incredibly unique and interesting breed, through their affectionate, loyal, and playful personalities as well as their unusual long and slender body shape, short legs, and stubby tail. This is one of the few breeds where dwarfism is actually preferred. They are usually quite small, weighing in at not more than 32 lbs, and are quite intelligent, making them easy to train. In addition, this breed is one of the few that occurs in three different coat types: smooth, wirehaired, and longhaired.
Although some people consider Dachshunds to be non-shedding, this is generally not the case. Most Dachshunds will shed year-round, although it may be more noticeable during the spring and fall. Depending on the coat type, the breed may also experience seasonal shedding which typically lasts a few weeks. Generally speaking, Dachshunds are considered low-shedding or light-shedding dogs.

Dachshunds are intelligent and energetic dogs that will need to be properly fed and nourished to stay happy and healthy. When considering what to feed your Dachshund, it's important to look for a food that is specifically designed for small breeds.

You should also look for food that is high in quality protein and formulated for a Dachshund's active lifestyle.
Preparing your home for a new Dachshund requires careful consideration. First, it's important to puppy-proof any potential danger areas in your home. Remove any items that may be hazardous for your puppy, such as wires and small objects, and blocks of any access to areas that may be dangerous. Make sure you understand the proper nutrition and dietary needs of a Dachshund and have those items on hand. Training your pup is also important for successful integration in your home and can involve crate training and potty training.

These dogs can usually make friends with other pets in the household and are often willing to play. However, the success of introducing a new pet to the home is largely dependent on the individual dog's nature and how well the pets have been socialized. It's important to introduce the pets of the household to each other slowly, in separate spaces, and with plenty of supervision.
