Questions & Answers
Dachshunds are an interesting breed of dog. They have a long and amusing history, with the name 'Dachshund' coming from a German word meaning 'badger hound'. Along with the standard size, they are also available in miniature and 'rabbit' size. Dachshunds are known as natural born hunters because of their good sense of smell and their determined nature.
Managing allergies with Dachshunds can be a challenge, as the breed is known for their long, silky coats which can trap dust and dander. Reducing exposure to allergens and ensuring regular grooming can go a long way in reducing symptoms. To start, limit the amount of time your Dachshund spends outside, especially after pollen counts or windstorms. With respect to grooming, there are specialty shampoos and conditioners which can reduce allergens on your dog's coat so keeping them on a regular grooming schedule is recommended.

Preparing your home for a new Dachshund is key to ensuring a smooth transition for both you and your pet. First you will need to decide where your Dachshund will sleep and where their food and toys will be stored. It's important to set up a safe space for them to relax and hide, such as a dog bed or kennel. You'll also want to evaluate your home for any potential hazards, such as unsafe plants or poisonous objects.

Dachshunds are active little dogs and require a moderate amount of exercise. Generally speaking, a daily walk of twenty to forty-five minutes is ideal to help keep them healthy and to keep their minds stimulated. This can, however, vary depending on age, fitness level, and the individual dog. For puppies, two shorter walks would be more appropriate. Additionally, regular playtime outside can be beneficial for their development.

They are small enough to be a good size if you have a small home and a small yard, but they are big enough to handle rough and rowdy play from children without harm.
