Raising a young long-haired dachshund requires more time and energy, because an 8-week-old puppy needs to be fed four times a day, so someone must take care of it. Adult Dachshunds require more careful care. No matter what the weather is like, you need to take two walks a day for at least 20 minutes each time.
