No. “English cream” is not a color recorded by any dachshund breed standard. The color the registries actually record is “cream”, and none of the six documents checked for this article uses the word “English” as a color term. Cream is not accepted everywhere either. Under The Kennel Club in the United Kingdom, cream is … Read more
A VOHC seal proves one thing: the product met the Veterinary Oral Health Council’s pre-set standard for reducing plaque or calculus in two controlled trials. It does not prove the chew suits a 4 kg dog in size, hardness or calories. That gap matters, because dogs under 10 kg carry roughly three times the periodontal … Read more
Airline pet rules are written around a compact dog, not a long one. A carrier that clears the length limit on one airline can be oversize on the next, and a height rule can stop a dog that fits the floor plan perfectly. This guide sets the published in-cabin carrier size limits for a long-bodied … Read more
On a longhaired dachshund the coat is longest exactly where the dog sits closest to the ground: under the neck, on the forechest, along the underside, on the ears and behind the legs. That is the American Kennel Club’s own description. So the question of what not to trim on a longhaired dachshund has a … Read more
The FCI sets dachshund size classes by chest measurement in centimetres, while the American Kennel Club and the Royal Kennel Club set them by body weight. That split is why the same dog can register as a miniature in one country and fall outside the class in another. FCI Standard No. 148, published 2021-05-25, names … Read more

The National Park Service applies pet rules to a dog whether that dog walks or is carried, and Yellowstone National Park names arms, strollers, backpacks and carriers in writing. A five kilogram miniature dachshund gets no size exemption. This guide covers the federal leash limit, what a campground … Read more
If you’ve seen those bright, paw-print disposable boots wrapped around a dog’s feet like little bandages and wondered whether they actually work, we can tell you from experience. We put a set of bandage-style dog shoes on our cream longhaired dachshund, Zzinyi, for a real fall walk — leaves, gravel, uneven curbs and all. Below is our … Read more
Sneezing after rolling in grass usually settles within a minute or two, and what happens after that minute is the part worth watching. A dog that walks with its nose at ground level meets dried seed heads, grass blades and pollen at the exact height those things sit. Those triggers do not behave the same … Read more
Long haired dachshund mats do not start where the coat looks thickest. They start where two surfaces rub. The U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service locates mats “under the collar, behind the ears, and in the armpits”. Both the American Kennel Club and The Kennel Club locate a dachshund’s longest hair … Read more
Short answer: yes, with a few precautions that matter more for dachshunds than for most other breeds. We’ve taken our cream longhaired dachshund, Zzinyi, camping more times than I can count at this point — pavilions by the pond near our apartment, open fields an hour outside the city, patio setups with the tent half-pitched … Read more
