Questions & Answers
Dachshunds are an incredibly unique breed of dog! They originated in Germany and were bred to be a small, low-to-the-ground version of the traditional hunting dogs, and have been around since the hunting Renaissance. An interesting fun fact about Dachshunds is that their name literally translates to "badger hound", thanks to their remarkable hunting ability throughout history.
No, Dachshunds are not hypoallergenic. While they have hypoallergenic coats, their skin produces allergens, which can cause reactions in people who are allergic to pets. If you are allergic to animals, it is best to avoid having any type of pet, including Dachshunds, in your home to avoid or minimize your exposure to allergens. Additionally, people with asthma or similar conditions should take extra precautions when considering whether to get a Dachshund as they can have respiratory reactions to the allergens in the pet's skin.
Dachshunds are a breed of small to medium sized dogs with elongated bodies and short legs. As canines, their diet should itemize high-quality proteins, healthy fats, and carbohydrates from vegetables and grains. Essential ingredients should include real meat like boneless chicken, beef, or lamb, salmon, and other fish; proteins from egg and cheese; carbohydrates from sweet potatoes, squash, and grains like brown rice; vegetables like broccoli and spinach; and essential fatty acids from oils like flaxseed and olive oil.
Preparing for your new Dachshund can seem daunting at first, but with the right mindset and supplies, you can create an enjoyable and safe environment for your pup. One of the most important steps is to ensure that your home is puppy-proofed. Make sure households items are safely out of reach and that potential dangers, such as toxic plants, cleaning supplies, or electrical wires, are tucked away. It's essential to arm yourself with the knowledge necessary to care for a puppy. Read books and articles about breeds of Dachshunds, feeding, training, and overall health.
Dachshunds typically range in size from 8-9 inches tall at the shoulder when fully grown, and can weigh anywhere from 8-32 pounds. Generally, miniature Dachshunds, which tend to weigh around 11 pounds or less, are classed as toy breeds. Standard Dachshunds, which can weigh anywhere from 16-32 pounds, are classed as either standard or miniature depending on their size. On average, a healthy, adult Dachshund's size remains relatively consistent throughout its lifetime.
Generally, Dachshunds enjoy swimming and will happily take a dip in the pool or even in a lake. They have webbed feet which give them an advantage when it comes to paddling around in the water. Depending on the individual dog, some may require a bit of encouragement to start swimming, but that can usually be alleviated with positive reinforcement and some playtime. Most Dachshunds, once they get used to the water, will enjoy swimming for long periods of time and often need to be reminded that it's time for them to get out.
Dachshunds can get along with kids if they are properly trained and socialized, but there are some considerations that should be taken into account. Dachshunds can have strong personalities and may not be very tolerant when it comes to children, so they should be supervised when being introduced to kids. It's important to remember that Dachshunds are quite vocal and can easily become startled, so it's best to allow the dog to approach each child slowly and on its own terms.
Dachshunds are known for being loyal, active and attentive, and they have a reputation for being among the most intelligent breeds. In fact, they have a high level of intelligence when it comes to learning basic obedience commands and adapting to household rules. Dachshunds learn basic commands and tricks quickly and can often be taught more complex tasks than some other breeds. They are also good problem solvers and quite clever when it comes to figuring out how to get what they want whether it's a treat or simply some attention.
