Questions & Answers
A Dachshund is a fun-loving breed of dog that is loyal, curious and full of personality. These short-legged, long-bodied dogs were originally bred in Germany to hunt badger, hence their nickname: "the badger dog". However, these days they make great companions to families and are even referred to as "sausage dogs" because of their unique body shape. Dachshunds come in two sizes, standard and miniature, and in a variety of colors.
Whether or not a Dachshund will cause you to have allergies depends entirely on your individual situation and your sensitivity to allergens. They are considered a hypoallergenic breed, which means that they do not shed as much as other dogs, decreasing the likelihood of causing an allergic reaction. However, any pet can cause allergies, depending on the person. If you have had any previous allergies to pet fur or dander, it is advised to keep away from a Dachshund and any other dogs. The best way to be certain is to consult a doctor.
Feeding a Dachshund the wrong types of food can be risky and potentially harmful for their health. Generally, you only want to feed them food specifically designed for their breed of dog, such as high-quality kibble specifically formulated for dachshund nutrition. You should avoid giving them people food, such as dairy, grapes, onions, chocolate, and artificial sweeteners. Additionally, avoid feeding them large amounts of fat, salt, or sugar, as this can be damaging for their digestive system or lead to other health issues.

This includes and is not limited to providing proper nutrition, regular exercise, and an active lifestyle. Furthermore, owners must ensure their pet does not become obese and stays healthy.

As a breed they weigh no more than 32 lbs and generally stand 8-9 inches tall at the shoulder, making them one of the smallest dog breeds in the world. Dachshunds come in two sizes: standard and miniature. The miniature size stands no taller than 5 inches and weighs less than 11 lbs while the standard size remains close to the originally breed weight and height respectively.
It depends on your individual Dachshund's age, breed, level of health, and personality. Generally, adult Dachshunds need at least 30 minutes of physical activity a day. This could include a long walk, a game of fetch, or something more exciting like off-leash running. Puppies, in particular, require extra mental and physical stimulation to foster healthy development, so shorter, more frequent play times or outdoor walks are advised. If your Dachshund is older or sick, it may need less exercise that is more tailored to its energy level.
Dachshunds can be great family dogs given the right environment and training. Temperament, socialization, and health are important considerations when thinking about bringing a Dachshund into your family. Dachshunds are intelligent and adaptable to a wide variety of situations, but they can also be stubborn and independent. They are capable of forming strong bonds with their owners and providing loyal companionship if they receive the right care. Proper socialization and training are important for them to respect boundaries and live comfortably with their environment.
Training Dachshunds typically requires a commitment of anywhere from 15 to 30 minutes per day. That amount of time should be focused on teaching the dog specific commands, reinforcing expected behavior, providing mental stimulation and providing playtime. The best amount of time per day to train a Dachshund is whatever works for your lifestyle, however it's important to be consistent and stick to a schedule. Keeping your training sessions short, frequent and interactive will help to ensure that the learning experience is enjoyable and effective for you and your pup.
