Miniature Dachshund Health and Daily Care
Early socialization with different people, sounds, and environments creates confident, well-adjusted adults comfortable in busy settings. Protecting their long spines requires ramps for furniture access, avoiding excessive jumping, and maintaining healthy weight throughout life.
They're under 12 pounds when fully grown, making them easy to manage in various settings. They're loyal and devoted to family, social with proper socialization, determined and persistent, and entertaining and comedic in their daily antics. Training benefits from their intelligence, though patience helps navigate their independent thinking and strong personalities. Daily walks of 25 to 40 minutes satisfy their exercise requirements while providing mental stimulation. Their compact size suits Columbia apartments, townhomes, and single-family homes equally well. Short-haired dogs display a sleek short-haired appearance with simple maintenance needs, while long-haired varieties feature a beautiful flowing appearance with attentive maintenance needs.
