Questions & Answers
Dachshunds are a unique breed of dog with some interesting quirks. For example, their unique and long bodies are perfect for burrowing and originally bred as hunting dogs for badgers. They're also quite adaptable—they can live in city and country environments, and many of their owners even take them on boat rides and swimming! Their personalities also vary between the three coat types—smooth, wire-haired, and long-haired—with smooth-haired being the most active while wire-haired looking for a more relaxed and quiet environment.
When living with a Dachshund, it is important to be aware of the potential for everyone in the home to experience allergies. First and foremost, be sure to vacuum and dust frequently to prevent build-up of allergens. It helps to also use air purifiers and place filters on air conditioning systems. Consider washing bedding, draperies, and other fabrics regularly to reduce exposure to allergens. Additionally, keep your pet's coat well-groomed and bathed regularly to reduce dander on their fur which can be a source of allergens.
Dachshunds have unique dietary needs compared to other breeds and should always be given quality food formulated specifically for small-breed dogs. Your Dachshund should be fed a complete and balanced diet appropriate for their age, size, and general health condition. Look for foods that contain high-quality animal proteins and low to moderate amounts of fat. Select a diet that is labeled "complete and balanced" and based on the latest Association of American Feed Control Officials (AAFCO) nutritional profile.
Dachshunds have fairly basic requirements compared to other dog breeds. They require quality nutrition, regular grooming, frequent exercise, and plenty of love and attention! Special to Dachshunds is that they need a large amount of affection and playtime to keep them healthy and happy, and should be given frequent belly rubs and other forms of attention. Dachshunds also benefit from implementing a consistent routine with daily walks and playtime, as well as teaching them to respond to verbal commands and basic tricks.
Yes, Dachshunds are typically considered small dogs. The breed is typically characterized by its short legs and lengthier body. Adult Dachshunds average between 5 and 12 pounds in weight, and generally stand between 8” and 9” in height when measured from the ground to the highest point on their backs. Though the breed can vary in size, from miniature and even toy varieties, Dachshunds normally stay on the smaller side of dog breeds. This makes them a great companion for people who live in smaller spaces but also want an active and intelligent pet.
Yes, you can take your Dachshund running, provided that your pup is in good health and at the proper age. Before taking your Dachshund out for a run, it's important to check with your veterinarian to ensure that your pup is healthy enough to exercise. Depending on the age and condition of your Dachshund, your veterinarian may advise a different exercise routine that may involve frequent walks, short runs, or structured activity.
Generally speaking, Dachshunds do get along with other pets. While these dogs are known for their independent streak, they often thrive in a multi-pet environment, particularly when they are properly socialized as puppies. That said, each Dachshund has its own unique personality, just like any other pet, so there are some Dachshunds that may not take kindly to being around other animals. In general, though, most of these dogs do okay when raised with other pets.
Dachshunds are affectionate, intelligent, and loyal! Originally bred to scent, chase, and flush out badgers and other burrow-dwelling animals, they are known to be quite resourceful. With a keen understanding of their environment, a good memory, and strong tracking skills, Dachshunds are unusually smart dogs. Regular mental and physical stimulation helps to keep them active and focused. Dachshunds are also easy to train, responding well to patient, consistent methods and positive reinforcement.
