You need to wash the dog 3-4 times a year.
Depending on the type of wool, care is as follows: a long-haired dachshund needs to be combed every day, short-haired enough to smooth with a brush with fine bristles, and wire-haired - with metal combs. Ears should be regularly inspected for various insects and dirt, eyes should be cleaned every day, and claws should be cut every two weeks.
