Dachshund

Dachshunds (16-32 pounds) are bold, curious, and loyal, ideal for attentive owners. They’re kid-friendly with gentle children but may snap if teased. Moderate exercise (30-60 minutes daily) suits their small frame; their coat (smooth, wire, or long) needs occasional brushing.

Feed 1-1.5 cups daily of Hill’s Science Diet Adult Small & Mini Chicken Recipe, with 23% protein for their size and spine health. Avoid overfeeding to prevent back issues. Primarily indoor dogs, they adapt to small spaces but enjoy yards.

Training curbs barking. Perfect for owners seeking a spirited, compact companion, Dachshunds aren’t for rough play or inactive homes.
