Dachshunds

A dachshund is a pure breed, not a mix, and one of the oldest dog breeds there is.

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

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.

a 5'1 girl should weigh around 90-100 lbs. (6.5-7 stones)

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.

When in the right moods dachshunds can be very playful and enjoy playing with you. When they are tired though, especially with children they can growl and even bite if you approach them.

They enjoy play fighting, tug of war and finding socks, slippers or teddies to chew on!

Grunting in dogs are usually your dog trying to tell you its emotions. I do not know what they are trying to say but it is usually a dog trying to communicate. Like a lazy, long loud grunt may sometimes mean "Tired" or "Bored". If you are scratching your dog's ear and he/she grunts it sometimes means "Love" or "Thanks, i like that". And, finally last example, if it shows actions of being angry, and growls, that means it is "Angry". You may either try to calm him down or stay away and let him calm down himself. Hope this helps! :)

that depends on your body style i was 5'8 and weighed 185 pounds i went on a bunch of websites to find out the same question and they all told me i shoukd weigh 160 and that i was 25 pounds over weight but i was very thin and had a really toned body so i went to my docter and he did a fat percentage test and come to find out i could actually gain 10 pounds and still be fine so there are websites that will helpo you get a idea but the best thing would be to go talk to your doctor or your PE teacher could probably help you too i hope this helped you some

Well am about 4'10 and i weigh about 89 lbs my docter says that's normal but iam always looking forward to losing some weight!!

the standard dog to human is 7:1 however, dachshunds along with other small breeds live longer typically (13-17) years. Larger breeds may live only 11 to 14 years the standard dog to human is 7:1 however, dachshunds along with other small breeds live longer typically (13-17) years.

Dapple Dachshunds can range for $150 - $350 dollars They are quite expensive.

5'4 at age 16? Well, I don't think age really matters.. only height and gender. I am 5'4 myself and weigh 140 but I'm only 14. Nobody believes that I actually weigh that much so I know I'm not fat but I am considered "overweight". And I read somewhere that the average weight for a 14 year old was 130 pounds. So if the average weight of a 14 year old who is 5'4 is 130, and you are 5'4 but 16, I would say you're not fat unless you weigh more than like... 150? I'm not fat and I weigh 10 pounds more than 130. But you're 16 so 150 sounds about right to me.

It depends on the type of Dachshund u get. Miniature are smaller and don't get as long as a regular. Regulars can be a little more then a foot when full grown and miniatures can be bout a foot or a little smaller. Thanks for the great question! By KAM

LOL...MINE! 14" neck to BASE of tail...takes for ever for the back half to follow the front half!

Generally, twice a day. Once in the morning and once in the evening. See the feeding instructions on your dog food for the proper amounts.

around 63 days(thats for all dogs)

ok

thankyou for asking

I'm not an expert but usually the average cost would be rangeing from about 150 to 300 dollars. It's usually rare for a dachshund to be like 400 or even 500 dollars ( even though it can infact happen) but yeah 150 to 300 dollars is usually the case. Hope this helped! ;)

The answer will vary by location and by breed. Purebred pups cost more. Mixed wiener dogs are usually available from shelters or rescue agencies for a minimal sum, usually not more than $30 to $50. Some owners will advertise free puppies to good homes.

It is possible to pay up to $700 USD or more for a rare breed like the miniature dachshund.

There are lots of different Dachshund colors and coats. I have a double E recessive cream long hair. It is really rare to have one like this because he is totally cream colored (blonde). Most creams are shaded, they have black or red tips on there hair. I would think that the most rare would be one with a gene recess like mine or a blue. Blues have thin hair and also leads to thin skin. They have problems and are hard to care for which makes them very seldom bred.

Firstly, you look for a short cute name that you like. If the dog already has a full name just make up a shorter one using the letters in the dogs name. If the dog doesnt have a full name and you are that stuck, look at him/her and think about what he/she reminds you of. Whether its a food or anything else. Its easy!!

A Dachshund can be 14-18 inches (35-45cm)

Basically, a Dachshund has different sizes. For example, a mini is a small one, and looks a lot smaller than a regular one. A tweenie, (which just happens to be the size of mine) is in between, and can grow about 7 in. off the ground, my estimation. Last, there is a full. Wich can grow very big, but i cannot say how. I have never seen a full one. I know, its sad.

and whoever else wrote the first part. :)

If you bathe them regularly they don't. But if you smell their face it might smell bad do to run-off from their eyes. You can buy powder to put in their food that helps that.

"Piebald Dachshund" is not a dog breed, but "piebald" is a type of marking and "Dachshund" is a breed of dog.

Dachshunds are dwarf dogs that originated from Germany and were first used for flushing badgers. They come in two sizes: Standard and Miniature; and three coat types: Smooth, Longhaired and Wirehaired. Standards can weigh from 16 - 32 pounds and Miniatures can weigh 11 pounds or under, but despite their size, Dachshund have brave and confident personalities, reflecting their first use for attacking badgers.

Piebald is just one of the many markings of Dachshunds, and refers to a coat which is mainly white with colored splotches on it.

It all depends on what food you give the dog, all dog food bags have guides on them somewhere stating how many cups of food to feed per how many pounds your dog is
