Questions & Answers
A Dachshund is a small, long-bodied breed of dog of the hound family. Its front paws are pointed and curved so it can dig, while its hind legs are stout and strong enough to flex to move at a fast speed. This German hunting breed is known for its courage, devotion, playfulness, and loyalty to its family, making it a great companion or pet. Dachshunds have three size varieties: Standard, Miniature, and Kaninchenteckel.
Dachshunds are known for their low shedding property as compared to other breeds and are often a popular choice for allergy sufferers because of that.

This is normal and kept to a minimum with regular brushing and grooming.
Dachshunds thrive on high-quality, nutrition packed, age-appropriate dog food and may benefit from a diet that includes a variety of proteins. Feed them two to three small but regular meals throughout the day rather than leaving a large amount of food out all day. It is important to select a food that is specifically formulated for small breed dogs, as this helps meet their unique nutritional requirements. Additionally, as treats, you can give them raw vegetables such as carrots or cucumbers, and small portions of lean protein foods like plain cooked chicken.

Dachshunds come in two sizes: standard and miniature. Standard Dachshunds can weigh up to 16 kilos and measure up to 31 cm tall, while miniature Dachshunds are significantly smaller and can weigh up to 6 kilos and measure up to 21 cm tall.

To ensure the safety of both your child and your Dachshund, however, it is important that they are supervised when playing together, and that you provide intensive guidance to teach your dog the correct social manners for living in a family setting.
