Questions & Answers
Dachshunds are a unique and distinct breed that are classified as a Hound dog by the American Kennel Club. They are small in size, long bodied, typically have short hair and come in a few different coat colors. They are well known for their lively and inquisitive personalities and are great watch dogs, because of their alertness. They are very devoted to their owners, so they serve as a great companion.
Dachshunds are not technically considered hypoallergenic. While they may be less likely to trigger some allergies, it is not a guarantee. If someone in your family suffers from allergies, it is important to provide them with a safe environment. One way to reduce the risk of allergic reactions is to bathe and groom your dachshund regularly. Even though dachshunds typically have short hair, allergens like pet dander can still build up on their fur and cause reactions. Regular brushing and vacuuming can also help reduce the allergens that are present.
Dachshunds should not be fed anything that can cause blockages, such as bones, popcorn, uncooked rice, grapes, raisins and other items that contain sugar or high levels of fat. Foods such as chocolate, onions, garlic, macadamia nuts, and anything containing xylitol are toxic and could make your pet ill, so they should be avoided too.
Yes, Dachshunds have some specific requirements to keep them happy and healthy. First, they need plenty of exercise, either through walks or playtime in the yard. If their activity needs are not met, they can become overly-excited or hyper. Secondly, they need regular professional grooming, including ear cleaning and nail trimming, to ensure their coats do not get matted and their ears are not susceptible to infection. Finally, daily brushing of their coat will keep it glossy and help reduce shedding.
Dachshunds, commonly referred to as "wiener-dogs" or "sausage-dogs", are considered small to medium-sized dogs. As a breed, their average height falls between 5 and 8 inches, with the average weight lying between 16 and 32 pounds. Despite their small size, many Dachshunds demonstrate a lot of "big dog" spirit and personality. They make excellent companions, loyal to their families and could outperform much larger breeds on the agility course.
Yes, it is possible to take your Dachshund running however, it depends on the age, size, and health of your pup. It is always best to consult with your veterinarian prior to beginning any new exercise routine with your pup, particularly one that will involve more activity than a leisurely walk. Dachshunds are not ideal long-distance jogging partners due to their short legs, but they can keep up for a few miles and, because they are energetic and athletic, they likely won't balk at the challenge.
Yes, Dachshunds can make great family dogs since they are friendly and generally good with kids. It is important to introduce your Dachshund to children in a kind and gentle manner while monitoring their interactions. Training your Dachshund to understand the limits of appropriate behavior is also important in order to ensure that everyone stays safe. Dachshunds can provide joy and entertainment to the whole family and make great companion animals with the proper care and training.
Training your Dachshund can be a simple process if you approach it in the right way. The best way to begin is by socializing your Dachshund with other people and animals early on. Talk to your dog in a soothing manner or offer treats when strangers and other animals are around. This will help your dog grow accustomed to interacting with others. You can also build your Dachshund's obedience through positive reinforcement. Provide rewards for good behavior and stick to a strict schedule.
