Questions & Answers
Dachshunds are known for their lovable and mischievous personality! One fun fact about the breed is that they originated in Germany in the 1600s, and were bred originally to hunt badgers. Thanks to their long bodies, they could fit through the tunnels of a badger's den. The "dachs" part of the breed's name is actually derived from the German word for badger, while "hund" translates to "hound" in English.
Managing allergies with Dachshunds is possible, however, this process requires time and patience on your part since Dachshunds are double-coated and carry large amounts of allergens in their fur. To start, it's important to build an allergen-free environment within your home. Install high efficiency air filters, vacuum often, and limit unnecessary items such as carpets and fabrics that can attract allergens. Also, consider washing your dachshund regularly with mild shampoo and conditioner to reduce extra allergens in their coat.
Dachshunds thrive on a healthy diet that features high-quality proteins, wholesome grains or carbohydrates, and a variety of vitamins and minerals. A good diet should help to maintain the optimal weight and provide enough of the important nutrients for a dachshund's active lifestyle.
