Questions & Answers
A Dachshund (also referred to as a 'weenie-dog') is a short-legged, long-bodied breeds of the hound family. They have a bushy tail, large, droopy ears, and round eyes that reflect their friendly personalities. Dachshunds come in three coat varieties: smooth, wire-haired, and long-haired, and they come in a variety of colors, in both solids and combinations. They often have a playfulness about them and get quite attached to their family.
Managing allergies with Dachshunds is best done through prevention rather than responding to reactions once they occur. Vacuuming or mopping your house on a regular basis to remove allergens is a great way to reduce the risk of an allergic reaction. If you have a Dachshund, be sure to groom them frequently in order to reduce the amount of pet dander around the house. Bathing them at least once a month is highly recommended. Additionally, using an air purifier to remove pet hair and dander from the air can help keep allergic reactions at bay.
As with any breed of dog, Dachshunds should not be fed human food, as it can cause an upset stomach and even contribute to long-term health problems. Some foods that should be avoided are anything high in fat, spicy foods, chocolate, grapes, raisins, and anything with caffeine. Other foods to avoid are onions and garlic, which can be toxic to dogs.
Before bringing your new Dachshund home, it is important to prepare in order to give them the best start to life with you. Consider purchasing essential items such as a suitable collar and lead, food and water bowls, bedding, grooming supplies, and a safe, secure place for them to rest. Additionally, research the breed and learn more about their specific needs and behaviors. Make sure to have the necessary health checks done, and make sure the environment is safe and secure. With these few steps taken, your Dachshund should feel happy and secure in their new home.

Puppies of this breed vary in size, depending on which of the two accepted varieties they belong to: Standard or Miniature. Standard Dachshunds are typically larger, reaching around eight to nine inches tall at the shoulder, while Miniature Dachshund puppies tend to be smaller, with a full-grown size of six to seven inches.
While many breeds thoroughly enjoy the joys of swimming, Dachshunds are not necessarily among them. Some may enjoy it, but, since they can be prone to back problems, caution must be taken if attempting to swim with a Dachshund. Before attempting swimming with your Dachshund, it is important to speak to your veterinary first and make sure they are healthy enough to handle swimming.
Dachshunds are usually friendly and social, but like any dog, their compatibility with other pets will depend on their individual temperaments. Generally speaking, they tend to do quite well when introduced to other pets in the home, provided proper socialization takes place. Early and patience-focused socialization of Dachshunds with other pets is key to forming successful relationships. With a calm and consistent approach, they can usually learn to get along well with cats, other dogs, rabbits, and even farm animals.
Training a Dachshund can be both a rewarding and challenging experience depending on the dog's age and personality. To begin, create a consistent schedule of walks, each lasting between 10-30 minutes depending on the pup's energy level. Follow up or vary the walks with short play sessions or activities to keep your pup engaged and interested. Training should be positive and you should never punish or scold your pet. Provide healthy rewards such as treats and verbal reinforcement to reward progress and good behavior. When teaching commands, it may help to be consistent and remain patient while your dog masters a particular command.
