Questions & Answers
Dachshunds are a class of small to medium-sized dogs that originated in Germany. These loyal and lively dogs are primarily used for hunting and makes the perfect companion for any home. Their elongated body, short legs, and long snouts allows them to be a formidable hunter of animals like badgers and rabbits.

While there is no straightforward answer as to whether or not a Dachshund will cause you allergies, there are a few things to consider. Dachshunds do shed and produce dander, like other dogs and pets, so if you have pet allergies, a Dachshund may aggravate your symptoms. Those with allergies should avoid direct contact or exposure to the breed to reduce the chances of an allergic reaction. However, if you have no existing allergies, there is a good chance you will not have any issues.
Dachshunds should not be fed anything that contains high levels of fat, such as bacon, butter, and nuts, as these can lead to potential pancreatic diseases. Feeding treats that are too large can cause a choking hazard, as these dogs have a relatively long, narrow snout. Dachshunds should also stay away from bones and rawhide chews, as these may splinter and result in internal injury. Other hard items, such as sticks and golf balls, should be avoided as well.
To become the best puppy parent for your Dachshund, be sure to learn all the proper nutrition and exercise needs, as well as understanding the breed’s temperament. Spend time socializing them and introduce them to different types of environments. Make sure they get regular checkups to ensure they remain healthy. Obedience training is also key to being a successful puppy parent. Maintain consistency in rules and boundaries, so that the pup understands what is expected, as well as providing them with plenty of loving attention.
Dachshunds are typically considered to be a medium-size breed, typically ranging in size anywhere from 8 to 32 pounds. Average size is usually anywhere between 11 and 16 pounds for adults. The size of a fully-grown dachshund depends on the age, sex, and size of the dog's parents generally, if the parents are larger, so will be the puppy. Female dachshunds are usually smaller than male dachshunds.
The amount of daily exercise needed for a Dachshund depends on their particular energy level and age as well as the climate in which they live. Generally speaking, an adult Dachshund should get 30-60 minutes of exercise every day. For younger Dachshunds, the amount of exercise should be adjusted to their level of physical maturity. It is important to make sure Dachshunds get enough exercise since they are prone to gain weight quickly. Additionally, allowing a Dachshund to engage in regular physical activity can reduce joint pain and maintain healthy muscle tone.
Yes, Dachshunds can make good pets for first-time owners. They are loyal and affectionate, so they bond quickly with their family. Dachshunds are also relatively low-maintenance, as they only require light to moderate exercise, minimal grooming, and a regular schedule for feeding and bathroom breaks. Additionally, Dachshunds have a moderate energy level and are relatively quiet, which means they are suitable for apartments or other small living spaces.
