Questions & Answers
Dachshunds are unique in many ways, but what's perhaps the most interesting thing about them is that they were originally bred centuries ago to be an all-purpose hunter, tracking down game such as rabbits or badgers. This means that even today, these furry little canines tend to be fearless, active dogs, showcasing both an independent streak and serious loyalty to their owners. Additionally, thanks to the short legs they were bred with, they are known for their amazingly graceful movements, as well as their agility and adaptability.
Dachshunds are not considered to be hypoallergenic. This means that those who suffer from allergies may react to the dog's dander, saliva, and urine and may experience allergic reactions such as watery eyes, sneezing, breathing issues, and skin irritation. They do have strong grooming and shedding needs, so regular brushing and bathing is essential. If properly cared for, however, Dachshunds can still bring joy and love to the household of those who suffer from allergies, just like any other pet.
Dachshunds are small and active dogs that require a diet that is high in protein, low in fat and with an appropriate level of fiber relevant to their size. The best dog food for Dachshunds should consist of both wet and dry food formulas specially formulated for their small breed with quality proteins, carbohydrates, and fats, together with antioxidants, vitamins, and minerals. Be sure to check the label for specific amounts of nutrients and ingredients such as omega-3 fatty acids, calcium, and glucosamine, which are important for healthy skin, bones, and joints.
A Dachshund is a special kind of dog and you can prepare your home for them to ensure they have a comfortable place to live. Start by creating a designated area in your home with a comfortable bed and blankets, as well as toys. Make sure the area is safe for your new pup and consider using a gate or divider to create a secure, confined area to protect the rest of your home. Install a long-lasting dog fence in your yard and line the area with plants or flowers that are safe for your pup.
Dachshunds come in three standard sizes: standard, miniature, and "tweenie." Standard dachshunds can be up to 27 pounds and 16 inches tall at the shoulder. Miniature dachshunds are often 5 to 8 pounds and up to 11 inches in size, while tweenies can weigh 8 to 12 pounds and be 12-14 inches tall. Generally, those three sizes are considered the normal size range and all dogs within those parameters are considered purebreds.
Yes, Dachshunds can be incredibly active and energetic dogs. They tend to require plenty of exercise to stay healthy and happy, and can be quite fond of long walks and active play. Dachshunds can be incredibly versatile and sensitive to their environment, meaning they can make great running or jogging partners and love plenty of opportunity for exercise. On the other hand, Dachshunds have a playful and curious side which can lead them on plenty of exciting adventures, so owners must remain vigilant to ensure their pup doesn't wander off or get into any mischief.
Dachshunds can make great pets for kids, as long as they are properly socialized. Dachshunds are known to be loyal, loving, and affectionate dogs, and they can be great family pets if trained properly. Generally, Dachshunds get along well with all ages of children, as long as their interactions are supervised by an adult. Dachshunds can be very active, so it is important to make sure that children understand their own limitations when interacting with the dog.
Many owners of Dachshunds would readily agree that these dogs are a smart breed. Their intelligence and keenness has been compared to other breeds such as Collies, Labradors, and Golden Retrievers. Dachshunds are highly trainable and can learn tricks, commands, and, with enough work, even more complex goals. They have an excellent memory and often remember actions and commands long after they are taught. With their quick problem-solving skills, Dachshunds can quickly adapt to unfamiliar environments and can respond quickly in difficult situations.
