Questions & Answers
Dachshunds, often referred to as "weiner dogs," are an iconic breed of dog that originated in Germany. They are renowned for their long and narrow body shape and their short little legs. They have a great sense of humor and are a loving companion to their owners.
While no dog breed is completely hypoallergenic, Dachshunds can generally be classified as an allergy-friendly breed. Unlike thick furred dogs, Dachshunds have a sleek, short coat which makes them less likely to release allergens into the air. Furthermore, Dachshunds are considered 'less shedder' when compared to other dog breeds, which reduces the amount of dander that can cause allergic reactions.
Dachshunds should not be fed rawhide or bones, as these can be choking hazards and may contain bacteria which could be detrimental to their health. It's also important not to feed your Dachshund any kind of food that's too sugary, salty or fatty as these kinds of foods can lead to health issues like obesity or diabetes. It's best to stick to a nutritionally-balanced dog food so that your Dachshund can benefit from all the important vitamins and minerals it needs.
Before welcoming your new Dachshund into your home, there are a few steps you can take to prepare. First, make sure your house is adequately dog-proofed by picking up any potential hazards like cords or other items the dog may be tempted to chew on. Additionally, have any necessary supplies like a leash, collar, food bowls, and toys set up and ready to go before you introduce your puppy to their new home. It's also a good idea to install baby gates or block off certain areas of your home to help manage where your little pup will and won't be allowed.
Dachshunds are often considered small dogs, due to their short stature and size. However, it would be inaccurate to categorize them as either big or small in comparison to other dog breeds. Although small in stature, Dachshunds typically weigh between 16 and 32 pounds, making them bigger than some breeds, such as Chihuahuas and Yorkies, but smaller in size compared to larger breeds like St. Bernards or Great Danes.
Dachshunds may have varying opinions when it comes to swimming. Some may love the water and gladly partake in pools, lakes, and other bodies of water, while others may be fearful and display a strong aversion to water. Dachshunds as a whole are energetic, lively dogs that are often considered to be great candidates for swimming, but the individual doggo's temperament should be taken into consideration before going for a swim. It is best to introduce your Dachshund to shallow waters gradually and with positive reinforcement in order to ensure their comfort and safety.
Generally, yes; Dachshunds can get along very well with children. They are often loyal, lively, and loving towards children that provides them with affection and exercise. That being said, Dachshunds can have a stubborn nature and challenging personalities, so it is important to teach your children how to behave around and interact with your Dachshund in order to foster a positive relationship between the two. As always, it is important to never leave any child alone with any pet in order to avoid any potential accidents.
Dachshunds have all the intelligence of a "normal-sized" dog and can be just as clever. Known for their independent streak, Dachshunds have the capacity to problem-solve and learn quickly. They respond particularly well to positive reinforcement and can learn basic obedience commands and tricks with the right amount of repetition and consistency. That said, they are also very easily bored and may need extra stimulation and activities to remain mentally engaged. A tired Dachshund is a happy and smart Dachshund.
