Questions & Answers
Dachshunds have an interesting history. Their name literally translates to "badger dog" in German, and they were originally bred to hunt badgers and other small mammals. Other fun facts about Dachshunds include that they are the only breed of dog to come in three sizes: standard, miniature, and miniature teacup. They come in two coat varieties: short-haired and long-haired, and a variety of colors, including black and tan, red, brindle, and chocolate.
Dachshunds are not considered to be hypoallergenic. There is no definitive list of breeds or individual animals that are classified as hypoallergenic since each person can have a different response to the presence of dander and other allergens. As breeds go, Dachshunds have relatively low shedding rates. They are, however, known to produce dander, the allergen responsible for triggering reactions in people sensitive to pet allergens.
Dachshunds can have special dietary requirements due to their unique body structure and digestive system. As they have a long spine and short legs, their bodies are designed to digest smaller meals more frequently throughout the day. Additionally, due to their strong genetics, some Dachshunds may suffer from sensitivities to certain ingredients so avoiding foods with potential allergens such as wheat and soy is recommended.
Preparing for a new Dachshund can seem daunting, but it doesn't have to be overwhelming. Before bringing your pup home, be sure to gather the necessary items, such as a food and water bowl, collar with identification tags, leash, and bedding. It is also important to do research and learn about the breed and their specific needs, such as exercise requirements and dietary needs. When picking out food, look for healthy ingredients that provide complete nutrition.

They typically weigh between 16 and 32 pounds and generally reach bewteen 8 to 9 inches in height. Although Dachshunds are among the smallest of purebred dogs, some varieties can be on the larger end of the spectrum, adding a few inches in height and a few pounds in weight. Despite their small stature, their dog personalities remain strong and they are capable of vigorous exercise.
Absolutely, Dachshunds are an active breed of dogs. They often have a natural energy and enjoy playing, running, and going on walks or hikes.

Yes, Dachshunds are considered smart dogs. Studies have shown that Dachshunds respond well to commands and generally understand basic commands quickly. They may not be as fast as some other breeds, but they are more than capable of learning how to perform various tricks or exercises.
