Dachshunds come in a variety of colors and coat varieties from short-haired to long-haired, and wire-haired. Surprisingly, they come in two size varieties as well, standard and miniature.
Dachshunds themselves are not likely to cause an allergic reaction in most people. However, all breeds of dogs, including the Dachshund, shed hair and dander which can trigger allergies in certain individuals. It is recommended that individuals with allergies consider taking an allergy test to identify which allergens they are sensitive or allergic to prior to bringing a Dachshund, or any other pet, into the home.

Certain foods, such as onions, garlic, grapes, and raisins, are highly poisonous and absolutely should not be consumed by Dachshunds. Chocolate poses a serious risk to them as well, so it should never be offered.
Before getting a Dachshund, it is essential to purchase items such as a collar, leash, crate, and dog bed. Additionally, it's important to have food and water dishes designed specifically for small dogs. It's also a good idea to pick up bottled water, as the chlorine found in tap water can be too hard on a small dog's sensitive system. Other supplies to consider include grooming items like brushes, combs, and nail clippers. Toys designed for small dogs are also important for providing physical and mental stimulation.

The amount of exercise should also be tailored to the age and fitness of your dog.Younger pups may need less than older dogs and those with health issues may benefit from a shorter and more frequent walks.
Generally, Dachshunds do get along well with kids. However, like any other dog breed, it is important to give them the proper training and socialization. When given the right environment and instruction, Dachshunds can become great playmates and companions to children. It is important to ensure that the child understands the importance of being gentle around the dog, respecting their space, and learning how to properly play with them. Additionally, both the child and the dog should be supervised during interaction.
To train a Dachshund, start by teaching basic commands like “sit”, “stay”, and “come”. Using treats, lures, and verbal reinforcements, reward your pup for any successes during training. Start off with short five or 10 minute sessions, and work your way up to longer sessions. Reward good behavior and refrain from punishing undesirable behavior. Praise and reward your pup in order to maintain their confidence and enthusiasm for the process. Additionally, use mental stimulation games such as food puzzles, hide & seek for treats, and scent tracking.
