Questions & Answers
A Dachshund is a breed of hound dog that originated in Germany. It is sometimes referred to as a 'sausage dog' because of its unique body shape: long, low to the ground and with short legs. They come in various colors and pattern variations, including red, black or tan, and have either a smooth or wirehaired coat. Dachshunds have a friendly and curious temperament, often acting quite bold and brave, despite their small size.

Every individual is unique and individual outbreaks of allergies can depend on a variety of factors. A dachshund itself cannot guarantee that you will not have an allergic reaction, however certain traits of a dachshund such as their short fur may make them less likely to trigger allergies in some individuals. Before adopting a dachshund, it may be a good idea to consider having an allergy test to see if you are at risk of allergies from dander and fur from a dachshund.

Additionally, any food that are acidic, like citrus or tomatoes, should be avoided as they can be toxic to this breed. Dachshunds are also prone to back complications, which can be aggravated if they consume treats that are too large or too hard. Some dog owners also believe that bones should be avoided due to the potential for choking or breaking dental pieces.

Start by ensuring your pup is up to date on vaccinations and any necessary veterinary visits, so they can stay healthy. Provide exercise, whether it be a brisk walk or a rousing game of fetch, to keep them mentally and physically active. Spend time bonding with your pup through grooming and training teaching them new commands and reinforcing good behavior.
