Can you shave a long haired dachshund or will it hurt them?
If you are unsure about grooming then perhaps you should pay for a visit to the groomers and they will show you how to do it in future. Otherwise, carefully clip between the toes and check the ears for mites or any debree. Then you may wish to trim the belly and tail hair so that it does not drag along the floor.
How do you potty train a mini dachsund?
Mini Dachsund dogs are potty trained just like the usual potty training on other dogs. You should never yell at them when training.

Do dachshunds lose baby teeth?
yes, puppies can, and will, usually when they are around a year of age. Puppies will chew on things to loose their teeth, and it is important for the development of their gums. Keep wires and valuables out of reach, and provide SAFE chew toys. Most importantly, never scold a puppy when they have chewed something up, unless it's caught in the act... they will not remember what they did wrong. If a puppy is chewing on the chew toys you provided, as opposed to the furniture, praise them. :)
from what i have heard when we used to breed them, was that they were bred to hunt badgers and other smaller ground dwelling mammals. their short stature was perfect for going into holes and dragging out the animal they were after. As to why they were bred to be long bodied, i haven't figured that one out yet, but am really interested in learning.

How long is miniature dashund?
A miniature dachshund can vary in size. My mini dachshund is about 10 inches long.
All Dachshunds are good companions, they are really sensitive tho and don't like loud things, they do bark a lot if they hear someone walking (if you live in an apartment) but their worth everything! One of the downers about have a Dachshund is they can develop a back issue if they jump the wrong way and they are not aloud to walk up and down the stairs, but they are 100% worth it, sweetest dogs ever, and lap dogs & great with kids. It's crazy because people who hate dogs love my little Dachshund she's the sweetest thing ever and brings a smile to everyones face, my papaw had my dog until he passed away since I couldn't keep her where we lived and I'd have to say I truly believe she kept him going for as long as should could
How can you tell the difference in a mini dachshund puppy from a regular dachshund?
If you purchaced your dog from a reputible breeder, the dog will be registered with the AKC and listed as a purebred dog. A reputible breeder does not sell to pet stores, or if you got your dog from a puppy mill it will most likely not be pure bred. There are expensive DNA test out there to supposedly tell you, but I know someone who did that and got some pretty crazy answers (a husky-looking dog was allegedly a poodle/lab/collie mix...) So really I think the only way to know 100% is if you talk to the breeder who should be able to show you a 3-4 generation AKC pedigree of both parents.
How many pups will a pregnant dachshund have?
It really depends on if this is your dachshund's first time having puppies. If this is her 1st time she may have 2-3 normally (maybe more in special occasions). If she has had them before you may get more to about the same amounts of pups. So anywhere from 1 pup to maybe 5.
