Questions & Answers

The Dachshund's coat is quite distinctive; they have a short, dense coat that is smooth and glossy. Generally, there are three different coat varieties seen among this breed: the short-haired dachshund, the smooth-haired dachshund, and the wire-haired dachshund. The short-haired variety has glossy, smooth fur, while the wire-haired variety has a thick, rough coat, and the smooth-haired variety has a wire-brush finish.
Dachshunds should not be fed certain foods that can be dangerous to their health. These include grapes, raisins and currants, which can cause kidney failure; chocolates, macadamia nuts, onions, garlic, and other spices, which can cause gastroenteritis; any type of bones, which may cause gastrointestinal blockage or damage; and salty foods, which can cause water retention and electrolyte imbalances. These foods not only create risk of health problems but can also lead to obesity, which can worsen existing medical conditions.
A Dachshund can make a great pet, so it's important to prepare your home for your new arrival. To start, provide them with their own comfortable space where they can relax and feel safe; a crate with a soft blanket is a perfect bed. Next, be sure to assess any potential dangers in your home. Dachshunds can be mischievous and can fit into tight gaps, so check for exposed outlets and wires. Also, create an off-limits area, like the kitchen, so they won't be getting into any trouble when unsupervised.
Yes, Dachshunds are classified as a "toy breed" and are considered a small dog breed. They are low to the ground and might be longer than they are tall.

These can have either short hair, long or a wire-haired coat.
It is certainly possible to take your Dachshund running with you--with some extra considerations. Dachshunds are wide-bodied, short-legged dogs, so they need a bit more care and protection than some of the other breeds. For instance, it is important to be mindful of the terrain you are running on; If it is particularly rough or uneven, the Dachshund's long back and stubby legs may cause injuries. As well, make sure the ambient temperature is appropriate for the breed; Dachshunds can overheat quickly.
Yes, in general, Dachshunds do get along with children and can be a great companion for kids. Dachshunds are friendly, curious, and active canine companions, and typically have no problem interacting with kids. That being said, as with any breed, Dachshunds should always be supervised when around children. Introducing a Dachshund to a child for the first time, it is important to ensure that the child is not too rough or aggressive when handling or playing with the dog.

With lots of patience and consistency, owners can easily train these intelligent and creative pooches and form a bond of trust and understanding. Since they have an innate understanding of small details, Dachshunds tend to pick up useful skills with relative ease.
