Questions & Answers
Dachshunds, also commonly referred to as Doxies, are part of the hound group and are categorized as a small, short-legged breed of dog. This breed of pup is loving, lively, and friendly and is a popular choice for many families. They are short-haired, long-bodied, and come in three sizes: standard, miniature, and kaninchen (‘rabbit’ in German).
Dachshunds do not typically cause allergic reactions, as they are not generally regarded as one of the more allergenic breeds of dog. However, there is no guarantee that someone will not experience an allergic reaction when interacting with a Dachshund, as all individuals are different and each person's sensitivities may differ. It is best to observe how your body responds when interacting with any type of breed and consult your doctor if you have any concerns.
Yes, Dachshunds have some special dietary requirements. As they are a smaller breed, it is important to feed them a diet which provides them with the proper balance of proteins, fats, carbohydrates, minerals, and vitamins. Smaller breeds require higher levels of saturated fatty acids, calories, and specific amounts of amino acids such as arginine, methionine, and phenylalanine. Dachshunds are known to suffer from obesity, so it is important to feed them according to their body weight.

Dachshunds have a strong devotion to their owners, so they need plenty of social interaction and companionship if they are to be happy. As a particular breed, they may require more mental stimulation than other breeds such as going on regular walks for exercise and playing interactive games.
Absolutely! Dachshunds are classified as small dogs due to their size and weight, usually weighing between 16-32 pounds. This small breed of dog is known for its body that is typically presents with short legs and is long in the body for a breed its size. Additionally, the Dachshund's adult size makes it a good fit for apartments and other small living quarters as it does not need much room to roam. Furthermore, the breed is known for its friendly nature and makes a great family companion.
Dachshunds are surprisingly active dogs considering their short stature and stubby legs. These powerful pooches are known to have a lot of energy and they can make an excellent companion for the active person looking for a four-legged friend. Their alert and curious disposition means they're the first to investigate when company arrives, and the last to call it a day after a long play session in the park. However, their size and enthusiasm make them unsuitable as a jogging partner.
Dachshunds certainly can get along well with kids given the appropriate introduction and environment. If they are properly socialized from a young age, they can develop strong positive relationships with children, often becoming very devoted companions who love nothing more than playing and cuddling with their human friends. With that said, it's important to remember that all dogs, including Dachshunds, can be unpredictable and may snap or bite if not handled correctly. Any interactions between kids and a Dachshund should be supervised closely by an adult in order to ensure everyone's safety.
Training a Dachshund requires patience, consistency, positive reinforcement, and an understanding of their little quirks. First, create a calm, positive training environment for your pup. This will help them to feel secure while being taught new behaviors. Also, make sure that sessions are kept short and sweet to keep them engaged. Reward good behavior with treats and praise. However, you must also be firm with any misdeeds; implement verbal or physical punishment in a controlled, calm manner. Stay consistent with these rewards and punishments, so your pup is aware of what is expected of them.
