Questions & Answers

Bred to hunt above and below ground after badgers and other small animals, they are reliably sturdy and intelligent, and have become beloved everywhere as loyal and affectionate family companions.

They need plenty of exercise, plenty of love, and need to be protected against extreme temperatures due to their short coat.
No, Dachshunds are not considered to be hypoallergenic. All breeds of dog produce dander, which is a common allergen, as well as fur and saliva which can cause allergic reactions in people. Therefore, it is important to pay close attention to grooming habits and possible allergens when owning a Dachshund. It is recommended that people with allergies consider adopting a breeds that are typically considered hypoallergenic, such as Poodles, Bichon Frises, Schnauzers and Yorkshire Terriers.
Dachshunds share a few of the same basic dietary needs as other medium to large-sized breeds, but they do have some special dietary requirements. In general, Dachshunds should consume a high-quality, nutrient-dense commercial dog food. Due to their small size, they require correspondingly smaller portions than larger dogs. Furthermore, Dachshunds are particularly prone to obesity and therefore should be monitored carefully and precisely to ensure they are consuming enough to maintain their weight but not exceed it.
Before welcoming your new Dachshund into your home, there are several steps you should take to prepare for their arrival. First, stock up on the necessary supplies your pup will need such as crates, food and water bowls, a collar or harness with tags, and plenty of toys. Second, start training your pup before it even arrives. Research and find an obedience teacher or positive reinforcement trainer that can help you set and achieve goals for the pup. Finally, make sure your home is Dachshund-friendly.
Dachshunds come in two different sizes: standard and miniature. The standard size Dachshund typically ranges from 16 to 32 pounds and has an average height of 8 to 9 inches. The miniature size Dachshund is smaller and weighs 11 pounds or less and is typically less than 6 inches in height. Size can vary among different breeds, so it is important to research individual lines or breeds of Dachshunds when selecting a pup.
Taking a Dachshund running can be a great way to exercise, however, there is some important information you should know before doing so. Depending on your Dachshund's age, you may need to adjust your running routine to suit their needs as puppies may not handle running as well as an older Dachshund. You should start out with a series of shorter runs or even brisk walks to test the waters.
Yes, most Dachshunds do quite well when it comes to socializing with children of all ages. Dachshunds can make wonderful family pets, and they are often quite friendly and easygoing with children. However, you should always start slowly and monitor the interaction, particularly between young children and the dog. Dachshunds can have delicate joints and bones due to their long bodies, so it's best to avoid any roughhousing or play that could potentially be too strenuous. Additionally, always set boundaries and teach children how to properly handle a dog correctly.
Dachshunds are often considered to be one of the smartest of all dog breeds. They are highly trainable, display a strong understanding of commands and instructions, and can even carry out complex tasks. They respond especially well to positive reinforcement, and are quick to learn from both their owners and their environment. They are very good at problem-solving and forming complex mental connections between different objects and situations. Their friendly, curious personalities make it easy to teach them new behaviors and commands.
