About Dachshund Puppies, Breeders & DogFacts
The Dachshund, originating in Germany as a fearless badger hunting hound, is a small Hound Group breed recognized for its long, low body, deep chest, and long ears. Found in standard (about 16-32 pounds) and miniature (11 pounds and under) sizes with smooth, longhaired, or wirehaired coats, they shed moderately and are not considered hypoallergenic. Bold, curious, and devoted with a streak of independence, they make lively companions and alert watchdogs when well socialized. Their energy level is moderate; daily walks and play suit them well, but their long backs call for limiting jumping and stairs and keeping them at a healthy weight. Grooming needs vary by coat: smooth coats need occasional brushing, longhaired require regular brushing to prevent tangles, and wirehaired benefit from periodic professional grooming; drooling is typically low. Common health concerns include back problems, obesity, dental issues, and some eye or knee conditions, so routine vet care and weight management are important.
