Questions & Answers
Dachshunds are members of the Hound group, one of 7 categories recognized by the American Kennel Club. This group of dogs is predisposed to an avid sense of smell and natural pursuing abilities from their long legs. Dachshunds were bred to hunt and even coined the phrase "badger dog" due to their ability to follow creatures like badgers and foxes. They come in a variety of sizes, from miniature to standard, and their coat can be smooth, wire-haired, or long-haired.
Dachshunds are not considered hypoallergenic. Unfortunately, there isn't a breed of dog that has been identified as completely hypoallergenic that won’t produce any type of allergic reaction. Despite this, some dogs, including the Dachshund, are known to be better tolerated by people with allergies compared to other breeds. The coats of Dachshunds are considered lower shedding, making them a good choice for people with allergies who also want a canine friend.

The Miniature Dachshunds will usually stay in the range of 8-11 inches (32-43 cm) and a weight between 8-11 pounds (4-5 kg).
Dachshunds need at least 60 minutes exercise every day. This should include two 15-20 minute walks, plus some play time with toys. Exercise helps these active little dogs stay happy and healthy and can prevent them from developing behavioral issues. Dachshunds enjoy activities like running, chasing balls, andexploring, so it's important to make sure they have plenty of opportunities to do these activities. Exercise is especially important to prevent obesity, as all Dachshunds are prone to weight gain.
