Questions & Answers
Although typically known as a small breed of dog, Dachshunds were actually bred to be quite versatile. Due to their long body, they were originally bred to fit into burrows, but over time, they have become great hunting dogs for both badger and even fox hunting depending on the size of the breed. Their versatility, intelligence, and loyal nature has made them a great companion for any family or individual.
No, dachshunds are not hypoallergenic. This means that those with allergies to animals may experience certain adverse reactions to them. It is true that some breeds are less likely to cause an allergic reaction in humans, but a dachshund is not one of those breeds. Dander, saliva, and urine are all secreted by dachshunds, and even though all dogs produce these substances, dachshunds produce a bit more than other breeds. This increases the risk of an allergic reaction.
Dachshunds are usually fed a high-quality diet tailored to the size and age of the dog. Most diets should include dry kibble, wet canned food, and sometimes a small amount of fresh fruits and vegetables, too. Additionally, it is important to stick to a feeding schedule for adequate digestion and weight control. A ratio of two-thirds dry food to one-third wet food is a good starting point. High-protein, low-grain formulas are ideal for Dachshunds, and their diet should also contain calcium, phosphorous, and other vitamins and minerals.
Before getting a Dachshund, you'll need to prepare your home and buy some essential items to properly care for your pup. You'll need to buy a collar that fits them snugly so your pup can't slip out of it, along with a leash for safe, regular walks outside. You'll also need to invest in high-quality nutrition for your Dachshund, like kibble formulated for their size and breed. A bedding area and toys that will help keep your pup mentally stimulated are key to healthy and comfortable pup-parenting.
Dachshunds vary in size depending on their breed. The standard size Dachshunds typically grow to be between 8 to 9 inches tall and weigh between 16 to 32 pounds, while the miniature Dachshunds usually measure less than 5 to 6 inches tall and weigh 11 pounds or less. On the other hand, the largest variation, the Grand Dachshunds, can approximately grow to be 10 to 12 inches tall and weigh up to 39 to 45 pounds.
You can certainly take your Dachshund running, provided that you take certain precautions. Before beginning, ensure that your pup is fit enough for the type of activity you want to do. Dachshunds are known for having back problems, so, in order to avoid any injury, it is recommended that you speak with a vet in order to determine your pup's fitness and any specific exercise restrictions. Additionally, it is important to warm up slowly and incrementally increase their distance over time instead of going too hard too fast.
Absolutely! Dachshunds make wonderful companions for first-time owners due to their friendly and loyal nature. Dachshunds are generally easy to train and come in a variety of sizes, so they make a great fit for small apartments or yards. They are an independent breed, so they are content to keep themselves occupied even when their owner isn't around. Additionally, Dachshunds are notorious for their courage and tenacity, so they make a relatively good watchdog.
Training a Dachshund can be an enjoyable and rewarding experience. That said, their independent nature, sturdiness and stubbornness can make them a bit more difficult to train than some other breeds. Patience, consistency and positive reinforcement are key to developing a successful training program with a Dachshund. It is also important to learn as much as you can about their breed traits and how to interact with them, as it offers insight into why they may behave in certain ways.
