Questions & Answers
Dachshunds are an energetic, lively breed of dog with a fun-loving and loyal demeanor. They have an elongated body with short legs, a unique combination that makes them small yet powerful dogs.

Dachshunds do have fur, so it is possible that they could cause you to have allergies. However, the severity of any allergic reaction will depend on an individual’s tolerance level. Individuals who have allergies to dogs may find relief if they have a Dachshund. This breed of dog does not continuously shed, so there should be fewer allergens in the home. Additionally, Dachshunds are known to produce less drool than other breeds, leading to less saliva on surfaces in the home.

Also, provide a safe space with plenty of comfy blankets for your furry friend to take naps and hide away when overwhelmed.
