Questions & Answers
Dachshunds are a type of Hound dog, and they are also part of the Terrier group. They are a small breed of long, low-bodied dogs, which were historically used for the purpose of hunting badgers and other small animals. They have distinctive, long, low-slung frames, short legs and elongated snouts, with long, pointed ears. Dachshunds are known for their bravery and loyal personalities, as well as their curious, energetic natures.
Dachshunds are not considered a breed that generally causes allergies. Each person’s body reacts differently to certain allergens, but, generally speaking, Dachshunds tend to cause fewer problems than other breeds. That said, allergies should always be taken into consideration before getting a pet. Consulting with your doctor or a certified allergy specialist can help determine if a pet, any pet, is the right choice for you.
Dachshunds can benefit from a variety of food. A balanced diet consisting of high-quality kibble, supplemented with fresh food and treats, will keep your Dachshund healthy and happy. Their diet should include proteins like lean meat along with healthy fats and carbohydrates like fruits, vegetables, and grains. It's important to limit treats, as Dachshunds can be prone to obesity. Be sure to talk to your vet about what type of food is best for your Dachshund's size and activity level.
Before you become a Dachshund parent, make sure you are fully prepared! Essential items you should purchase include a comfortable, secure crate or dog bed; a collar and leash for walks, and food and water dishes that are the correct size for your puppy. It is also important to find a quality food and select the appropriate toys for your pup to play with in order to stop potential boredom or destructive behaviour. Additionally, it is helpful to have a grooming brush, nail trimmers, and a toothbrush to ensure your pup remains healthy.
The size of your Dachshund puppy will depend on the type you have. The standard breed can reach up to 8 or 9 inches in height and weigh up to 16 or 32 pounds when fully grown. The miniature Dachshund is typically no bigger than 5 or 6 inches in height and weighs up 11 pounds when grown. The toy Dachshund is the smallest of the variety and will typically only reach 4 or 5 inches and weigh up to 6 or 8 pounds when fully grown.
Absolutely! While any vigorous exercise should be discussed with your veterinarian first, cruising in the park with your Dachshund can be great fun. A run can be both a good physical and mental release for your dog. Moreover, it can help keep them healthy, fit, and active. However, before diving into a full-on run, it's important to understand that Dachshunds are a short-legged breed and their gait can sometimes be a bit awkward. It's best to keep runs to a reasonable length and on relatively flat and not-too-hard surfaces.
Dachshunds are generally known to be friendly and get along quite well with other animals, including cats and other dogs. However, it depends on the individual dachshund as well as the other pet, so it is important to properly introduce them and monitor them while they are getting to know each other. Socialization is key in helping dachshunds become comfortable around other animals, so make sure to engage your dachshund in activities and around people and other pets.
Dachshunds are undoubtedly some of the most intelligent and alert breeds of dogs, and they have proven themselves to be quite capable across a wide variety of tasks. Their independent nature can make them a challenge to train, but with consistent and positive reinforcement, a Dachshund can learn commands, tricks, and even agility obstacles. They are incredibly loyal and loving, forming strong bonds with their owners that cannot be broken. Furthermore, they are full of energy and enthusiasm, and are endlessly inquisitive, always exploring and using their impressive problem-solving skills.
