Dachshunds.
A large and controversial topic.
Basically, you shouldn't really consult wiki Answers for an answer to your issue, but maybe a vet or someone professionally trained, or perhaps a book. Anyway, considering I have a dachshund and she's my best friend, I have a good idea of what she needs.
1. Food - Dachshunds will eat dry food, or canned wet food, but dry food is better for their bowels and in other words, their poops will be nicer, for lack of better words.
2. Water - a no brainer, all living organisms need water to survive.
3. Attention & Love - these guys will need ALL the love you have to offer, they are the cutest sweetest things and you must care and show affection towards them at a young age, or as they grow older they will be unhappy and resentful towards you, and it could leave to an unhappy life for both owner and dog.
4. Watch Out! - about 25% of all dachshund get a disease of the lower and upper back, along the spine. It's when a disk in the back (usually lower part) slips out of its regular place, causing MAJOR pain for your little friend. To prevent, use EXTRA caution when lifting your dog, and lift them up when going up or down stairs and where heights are. If your dogs develops this disease, seek IMMEDIATE vet care, it could be fatal and you will need your dog treated ASAP. Your vet should tell you what to do and how to treat your dog if this atrocious scenario ever occurs.
5. Have Fun & see the Doctor often - Be lovable and kind ALWAYS towards your dachshund and they will return that kindness to you. This is your life long friend, so have fun, and love dearly. Also see the vet regularly, its recommended every 6 months at minimum, so make sure you follow that and I wish you and your friend A VERY happy life together!
*AND REMEMBER ANIMAL CRUELTY HURTS, IF YOU EVER COMMIT ANY KIND OF ANIMAL NEGLECT, ABUSE OR CRUELTY, THE ONE IN THE HEAVENS (WHOMEVER YOU BELIEVE IN) WILL KNOW.
