They come in a variety of colors and coat types, giving them a broad range of appearances. The breed is both playful and loyal, making them an ideal companion for families of all sizes.

You may consider using specialized shampoos containing oatmeal as it may limit the amount of allergens released from the dog's fur. If you are still experiencing allergies consider the use of air purifiers.
Dachshunds are energetic and require a balanced and nutrient-rich diet to stay healthy. For good nutrition, feed your Dachshund commercial dog food specifically formulated for dogs of their size and activity level. Speak with your veterinarian to determine the appropriate type and brand of food for your pet. Additionally, you can supplement their diet with healthy human food, such as boiled white meat chicken, small slices of lean beef, cooked carrots, raw spinach, and apples (without the core). Avoid feeding them table scraps, as these may not contain all the necessary nutrients and could lead to obesity.

Typically, they do not reach heights of more than nine inches and can weigh anywhere from sixteen to thirty-two pounds, meaning they may not be considered a 'big' dog by some standards. However, due to their versatility and strong personalities, Dachshunds can often seem larger than their size might suggest. Additionally, Dachshunds come in a variety of sizes, from the standard size to the miniature.
Taking your Dachshund running can be beneficial for their physical and mental wellbeing and can be a great way to bond with them. However, due to their small size and proportionate short legs, it is important to make sure that any running that you do with your Dachshund is done in short, controlled bursts that allows them to rest in between as needed and that you keep the terrain on the easier side. To avoid any overexertion of your Dachshund, it is important to stick to smaller distances and keep an eye out for any signs of exhaustion.
