Questions & Answers

They have a bright and alert facial expression and come in a variety of colors and coat types. Dachshunds are active and lively dogs with a lot of personality. They enjoy playing and exploring and love to spend time with their people. Dachshunds are great family pets because they have a loyal and loving disposition and are intelligent and easy to train.
The Dachshund's coat is usually short and very dense, with a soft, smooth texture. It is easy to groom with just a weekly combing and brushing. Depending on the size of your Dachshund and its coat color, it can range from a single layer of short fur to a longer double coat in some varieties. The most common colors of Dachshund coats are black and tan, reddish brown, chocolate, and dilute colors such as blue. Due to its deep chest, the Dachshund is also resistant to cold weather.
Dachshunds should not be fed food that is not specifically labeled as "dog food" or "dog treats". Avoid feeding them human foods like chocolate, onions, grapes, raisins, or avocados as these can be toxic. Also, refrain from giving them excessively fatty foods as this could result in pancreatitis. It's also best to avoid giving your Dachshunds bones as they are small dogs and can easily break a bone, increasing their chance of developing an intestinal blockage.
Before bringing your new Dachshund puppy home, it's important to thoroughly prepare your living space and ensure it is a safe and comfortable environment. You'll want to puppy proof your home by blocking off obvious hazards such as stairs and electrical cords. It is also beneficial to use products like puppy gates to section off larger areas of the home, such as the kitchen and living areas. You should also consider using doggy door blockers or childproof locks in order to limit where your puppy is able to roam.
Dachshunds are smallto medium-sized dogs, typically weighing between 10 and 32 lbs.

They truly believe no obstacle is too big for them, and will take on any adventure, no matter the size. Dachshunds are also fiercely loyal to their owners, making them a great family pet.

Generally, this breed is known for their enthusiasm and playful nature, so if given a chance, a Dachshund can truly enjoy taking a dip. It's important to note though that some Dachshunds may need help gaining confidence and becoming accustomed to the water. Start by teaching your pup to stay calm while being introduced to shallower pools or small bodies of water. From here, if desired, you can gradually move to deeper waters.
Dachshunds can get along very well with children, provided that the children are respectful of the dog and are well-behaved and attentive to the dog's needs. Dachshunds are usually an easy-going breed that loves plenty of attention so they should respond positively to playing with children. It's important for children to know the proper way to interact with a dog so they can build a positive bond with them. A good exercise to practice is teaching kids to smoothly pet a dog on its head in a gentle manner, which this breed typically enjoys.
