Questions & Answers
Dachshunds are a breed of hound that is a member of the Hound Group. They originated in Germany, where they were bred to be both low to the ground and long-bodied. Their short legs were bred to aid them in hunting small burrowing animals such as badgers. Dachshunds are known for their intelligence, loyalty, and spirited temperaments. They come in three coat varieties – smooth, long-haired, and wire-haired – and in three sizes – standard, miniature, and Kaninchen (rabbit-sized).
Dachshunds are not hypoallergenic dogs. Some people may be sensitive to the dander from Dachshunds, so individuals with allergies should consult their doctor before adopting one. Hypoallergenic dogs, such as poodles and other water dogs, may be better suited for those with allergies, as they produce fewer allergens. That being said, any breed of dog can make a great addition to a home, and with proper grooming and care, a dachshund can be a wonderful pet.
Dachshunds are a lively and energetic breed of dog, so it's important that their diet includes high-quality, nutrient-rich food. A good rule of thumb is to always look for a food specially formulated for small or miniature breeds. This type of food is designed to provide your Dachshund the essential vitamins and minerals required for their growth and everyday health. Generally, Dachshunds enjoy a variety of foods meat, fruits, vegetables, eggs, and dairy products.
Preparing for a new Dachshund requires both commitment and research. Start by familiarizing yourself with the little breed's exercise and healthcare needs and make sure these facts are part of your daily plan. Other essential items to buy include a collar and leash, food bowl, bedding, crate, and a variety of toys. It's a good idea to enroll both yourself and your Dachshund in an obedience class as well understanding basic commands like "sit" and "stay" can benefit both you and your pooch.
The size of a Dachshund puppy varies, as each one is unique and develops at its own rate. Generally, a full grown Dachshund will weigh between 16 to 32 pounds and may stand 8 to 9 inches high at the shoulder. However, the breed range for weight is 16 to 32 pounds, and for height it is 5 to 9 inches. Your puppy will likely be bigger than this when fully grown, but its actual size will not be known until it's about two years old.

Outdoors, they may be seen playing fetch or engaging in any other various activities that will keep them occupied.
Dachshunds generally get along well with other pets. As with any dog, the success of introducing a new pet to a home depends largely on the level of patience and training given to the dog. As long as the Dachshund is exposed to the other pets in a controlled environment, and it is socialized and trained properly, it can get along well with other animals. Many Dachshund owners have successfully integrated their Dachshunds into their home with other pets, such as cats, birds, and other small animals.
