Questions & Answers
Dachshunds, also known as "sausage dogs" for their long, elongated bodies, are one of the most popular dog breeds. Fun facts about these lively pups include that their original purpose was to hunt and chase down badgers and other small animals. And if that wasn't daring enough, some brave dachshunds have partaken in races known as Teckelrennen—where the goal is to be the first pup to drag a rope around a track.
Dachshunds are not considered a hypoallergenic breed. Although they do shed moderately, they can still cause allergic reactions in those with sensitivities to pet hair and other proteins. If you are an allergy sufferer and are considering bringing a Dachshund into your home, it is important to take the proper precautions to ensure that your allergies are not exacerbated. Doing thorough research on the breed and taking the necessary steps to keep your home allergen-free is the best way to determine if you and a Dachshund can live together without allergy-related issues.
The best type of food for a Dachshund will depend on your pup's age, activity level, and any existing medical conditions. Generally, smaller breed dogs like Dachshunds require a food that is specifically formulated for their breed and size. Generally, you should look for a food that contains a balance of omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids, glucosamine, antioxidants, and other vitamins and minerals for joint health and a healthy skin and coat.
Before getting a Dachshund, make sure you have all the necessary items for a comfortable and safe environment! You will need food and water dishes, quality dog food, a crate to help with housebreaking and provide a safe haven for your pet, a collar and leash, chews and toys, grooming supplies, and a bed for your pet to snuggle up in. Additionally, you should be prepared to adjust your schedule to accommodate regular walks, as well as regular trips to the vet for check-ups and vaccinations.
Dachshunds are smallto medium-sized dogs, typically known for the breed's short legs and long body. They generally grow up to be around 16 to 32 pounds when fully mature, though some slightly exceed this weight range depending on the variety. Most of the breed is 12 to 16 inches tall when measured from the shoulder to the floor. The specific size of a mature Dachshund can vary even among littermates; factors such as sex, nutritional needs, and parental size can all influence a pup's ultimate growth.
Yes, you can take your Dachshund running, however, it is important to do so with the proper precautions and considerations. For starters, it is a good idea to consult with your veterinarian to make sure that your pup is physically fit and has no underlying medical conditions that could be negatively affected by running. Additionally, Dachshunds can be prone to back and joint problems, so it is important to make sure they do not overdo it. Start slow, and never allow your pup to run too far or too fast.

With the right amount of attention, exercise, and training, dachshunds can make wonderful family pets. They are very loyal and affectionate, so they make an excellent companion for kids.
