Essential Tips for Every dachshunds Lover🐾
EXERCISE
Regular exercise is vital for Dachshunds to maintain physical health and mental stimulation. Here are key points to consider:
- Daily Walks: Dachshunds should have at least 20 to 30 minutes of walk time each day. Short walks are essential for keeping them physically fit and providing opportunities for socialization and exploration.
- Playtime: Incorporate playtime into your Dachshund’s routine. Engage them with toys, such as balls or tug ropes, to encourage active play and enhance their agility. Indoor games can also be fun and beneficial, especially on bad weather days.
- Mental Stimulation: Dachshunds thrive on mental challenges. Incorporate puzzle toys or training sessions that stimulate their minds, which can help reduce boredom and prevent behavioral problems.
- Supervised Outdoor Time: If you have a secure yard, allow your Dachshund some time to roam and explore. Always supervise them during outdoor play to ensure their safety.
- Avoid Overexertion: While Dachshunds are energetic, they are also small dogs prone to overheating. Avoid excessive exercise, especially in hot weather. Pay attention to their cues and provide plenty of water during and after activity.
With a balanced exercise routine, your Dachshund will stay healthy, happy, and well-socialized.
NUTRITION
Proper nutrition is essential for the health and well-being of Dachshunds. Here are important considerations for their diet:
- High-Quality Dog Food: Choose a high-quality, age-appropriate dog food that lists meat as the first ingredient. Look for options specifically formulated for small breeds, as they provide the right balance of nutrients.
- Portion Control: Dachshunds are small dogs with smaller stomachs. Follow feeding guidelines on the dog food packaging and adjust portions based on your Dachshund’s age, weight, and activity level to maintain a healthy weight.
- Regular Feeding Schedule: Establish a consistent feeding schedule, typically two meals a day. This helps regulate their digestion and prevents overeating.
- Limit Treats: While treats can be a great training tool, limit their quantity to avoid excessive calorie intake. Opt for healthy, low-calorie options, and consider using small pieces of their regular food as treats.
- Hydration: Ensure your Dachshund has access to fresh, clean water at all times. Proper hydration is vital for their overall health.
- Consult Your Vet: Regular veterinary check-ups are essential for dietary guidance tailored to your Dachshund’s specific needs based on age, health, and lifestyle.
With a balanced diet and proper nutrition, your Dachshund can thrive and enjoy a healthy, active life.
With all this great practices put in you’ll definitely give your dachshunds a long lasting life Span.🐾

🐾 My Breeding Practices
At Kimberly's Dachshunds Home, I take a thoughtful and balanced approach to breeding. I don’t rely on just one trait—whether phenotype, genotype, or a combination—but instead focus on ensuring the health, soundness, and temperament of every dog in my program. My goal is to produce not only beautiful but also healthy, well-adjusted companions.
Vaccinations:
Proper vaccination is a crucial part of your puppy’s health and well-being. At Kimberly's Dachshunds Home, I ensure that all puppies receive age-appropriate vaccines to protect them from life-threatening diseases.
- 🐾 Core Vaccines: Puppies are vaccinated against essential diseases like distemper, adenovirus, and parvovirus.
- 🐾 Schedule: Puppies receive their first set of vaccinations at 6–8 weeks of age, with a follow-up schedule provided for their new families.
Spay/Neuter:
Spaying and neutering are essential steps in responsible pet ownership. These procedures help control the pet population, prevent certain health issues, and can improve behavior.
- 🐾 Health Benefits: Spaying your female dog reduces the risk of uterine infections and certain cancers, while neutering your male dog helps prevent testicular cancer and behavioral issues.
- 🐾 Behavioral Benefits: Neutered dogs are less likely to roam, mark their territory, or display aggressive behaviors.
My Dogs:
I try to obtain what I feel are the best bloodlines in temperament, type, and health. Temperament has become a huge focus for us. Adding dogs into my family incorporates into my breeding program only for what I can provide to the he/she deserves as a companion rather than raised purely for breeding.
My Puppies:
From the moment they are born, my puppies are raised with care. Early socialization and exposure to a loving family environment are crucial steps to ensuring they are healthy, confident, and ready to bring joy to their future homes.
Socialization:
Socialization is one of the most important aspects of raising a happy and well-adjusted puppy. It involves exposing puppies to new experiences, environments, sounds, and interactions early in life. At Kimberly's Dachshunds Home, I take great care to ensure my puppies are well-prepared for the world:
- 🐾 Early Exposure: I expose puppies to household noises like the vacuum, television, and doorbells, as well as outdoor environments.
- 🐾 Positive Reinforcement: I use positive interactions to build trust and confidence.
Training:
Training should start the day you bring your puppy home. Early and consistent training leads to a well-behaved and confident dog. It helps build trust, good manners, and ensures your puppy understands their role within your family.
- 🐾 Key First Commands: Begin with simple commands like “sit,” “stay,” and “come.”
- 🐾 Short Sessions: Puppies have short attention spans, so keep training sessions to 10–15 minutes.
Nutrition:
Proper nutrition is the foundation of a healthy, happy dog. At Kimberly's Dachshunds Home, I am committed to providing the highest quality diet for my puppies and dogs. Nutrition plays a vital role in their growth, health, and development for years to come.
