Questions & Answers
Dachshunds are a part of the hound family. Specifically, they are descended from the miniature-sized short-haired hounds of Germany. They are a very low to the ground breed of dog, making them very unique compared to traditional hounds. Their long and low body type allows them to fit into small places, as well as firmly grasp their prey in their jaws. They are known to be energetic and highly devoted to their owners, but they are also known to have a very independent streak.
Dachshunds are not typically known to be a breed of dog that produces dander or hair that is known to cause allergies. However, everyone's body is different and some people may be more sensitive to certain breeds. Before bringing a dachshund into your home, it's recommended that if you or anyone in your household has allergies to certain animal hair, that you consult a doctor or allergist for advice. You may also want to consider visiting a potential dachshund puppy and spending some time with it before adoption to see how you react.
Dachshunds should not be fed anything that is high in fat or can cause digestive or gastric problems, such as processed table food, dog treats that are high in fat and sugar, onion, garlic, grapes, raisins, macadamia nuts, chocolate, and sugary snacks. Additionally, they should not be fed raw flesh, bones, rawhide, antifreeze, cooked and raw eggs, dairy products, moldy or spoiled foods, and ensure that any human food they receive is in moderation.
Taking on a Dachshund is a great adventure, and preparation is key. Make sure you have all the necessary supplies, such as food, leashes, shampoo, and toys. You should also research basic commands and teaching methods to help train your pup. Find out about local veterinarians and make sure your new furry friend gets his or her routine vaccinations. Obedience classes can also be beneficial to help ensure your Dachshund is both healthy and an active member of the family.

Dachshunds can make wonderful family pets, particularly when it comes to their interaction with kids. Generally, they are known to be quite friendly, easy-going, and lovable.
