They have short legs and long bodies, allowing them to effectively follow scents. Dachshunds are active and affectionate companions, often forming strong bonds with their owners. They come in a variety of colors and coat types, from short hair to wire hair. The breed is intelligent and can be trained to do simple tasks, such as come when called.
No, Dachshunds are not non-shedding dogs. While they don't shed like some larger breeds, they do have a double coat and will definitely shed some hair throughout the year. The amount of shedding varies based on the individual dog; however, it is good practice to regularly brush and groom your Dachshund in order to minimize any potential shedding. Even then, there may still be some loose hairs around the house that you'll have to clean up from time to time.
Dachshunds should not be fed items like cooked bones, as these can splinter and damage their digestive systems. They also need to avoid sodium, so salty snacks should be avoided. Similarly, sugary treats should not be fed to them as the sugar can cause long-term health problems. Anything with high fat content or that contains chocolate is not recommended for Dachshunds either, as these types of food can lead to obesity.

Additionally, daily exercise to keep them fit, strong, and co-ordinated is important. Dachshunds also require regular grooming, including weekly ear cleaning, nail trimming, and brushing of their coats to keep them looking and feeling their best. Additionally, a Dachshund should have its teeth checked regularly, and have the coat regularly inspected for any signs of possible health issues.
Dachshunds come in two sizes: the standard size, which range in size from 16-32 pounds; and the miniature size, which range in size from 11-16 pounds. The standard size usually measure 16-32 inches in length, while the miniature size measure between 8-11 inches. Both sizes can be found with either short or long coats. Regardless of size, all Dachshunds have the distinct body shape of short legs, a long body and an alert expression.

This breed loves to explore and dig, so it's important to provide plenty of ways for them to stay active and entertained. They can be trained for sports like agility and rally if the owner is willing to work with the pup to provide positive feedback and rewards. They're also great for hikes and other outdoor activities.

As long as owners are committed to providing regular exercise and companionship, training, and nutrition, they make great pets.

They may require extra care and socialization when young, however first-time owners will find their intelligence and eagerness to please rewarding.
Training a Dachshund may seem like a difficult task, however, with a little knowledge and dedication, it can be a breeze. A key element to successful Dachshund training is understanding the breed. Dachshunds are independent and can sometimes think for themselves, so it is important to be firm yet gentle when training.

With patience and a loving touch, training a Dachshund can be an enjoyable experience.
