Questions & Answers
Dachshunds, commonly known as sausage dogs, are one of the most unique and entertaining breeds of dogs. A fun fact about them is that they were bred to hunt badgers and other burrowing animals such as rabbits. They have energy, a keen sense of smell, and immense courage in small bodies. In fact, a 17-pound dachshund even won a national championship in U.S. Earthdog competitions.
Dachshunds are not hypoallergenic dogs, so those who suffer from allergies should consider other breeds. While they do not produce less dander, their associated risks are generally low for allergy sufferers. This is due to their short coats which do not trap as much loose fur and dander, and they also tend to shed less than other breeds. Still, those with allergies should take caution as all breeds may cause some level of discomfort to those who are particularly sensitive.
Yes, Dachshunds have special dietary needs. As with other canines, they should be given a balanced diet that meets the guidelines of the Association of American Feed Control Officials (AAFCO). In addition to that, Dachshunds need to be fed a diet that takes into consideration their anatomical conformation. As a long and low breed, Dachshunds are prone to digestive complaints including back and joint problems, so it is important to feed them a diet that supports their spine and limb health.
Before getting a Dachshund, it is important to consider certain essentials. Make sure you have a comfortable bed for your pup. Choose one designed with their body type and size in mind. You should also purchase a few good quality toys that are safe, engaging and entertaining. Additionally, items such as securable leashes, personalized collars, and pooper scoopers are just a few more helpful and necessary items when it comes to owning a Dachshund. A special brush is useful for keeping their coats and skin healthy.
The size of a Dachshund puppy is typically determined by its parents, both in terms of height and weight. On average, they typically reach their full adult size after 12 months of age and will typically stay within the range of 8-9 inches tall when measured at the withers, and they usually weigh in between 16-32 pounds. Depending on the combination of parents, however, some puppies may grow to be bigger or smaller than the average size. Furthermore, as Dachshund puppies age, they may gain or lose weight in relation to their diet and lifestyle.
Dachshunds are certainly active dogs that thrive on mental stimulation, physical exercise, and interactive activities. While they may be small in size, they certainly pack a punch when it comes to energy and enthusiasm. Daily walks, runs, and playtime are necessary for Dachshunds to live their happiest, healthiest lives. Dachshunds are known to be quite adventurous and over-active so providing them with lots of activities and exercise helps keep their minds stimulated and their energy levels at a manageable level.
Dachshunds can make great family dogs, as they tend to form devoted bonds with their owners. The breed is generally considered to be loyal and affectionate, and can thrive when surrounded by a loving family dynamic. Dachshunds are generally good-natured and gentle, although some tend to be more aloof and independent than others. It's important to take the time to get to know each individual dachshund's unique personality and temperament, to ensure they are a good fit for your home.
While opinions may vary, Dachshunds are generally considered to be smart and trainable dogs. Through generations of selective breeding, they've been able to acquire strong problem-solving skills, quick reflexes, and a strong will to please their masters. Studies have also shown that Dachshunds are among the most trainable of all dog breeds. They are able to learn commands quickly and with minimal repetition, which makes them popular companions worldwide. Despite their length, they are also surprisingly agile and energetic, often able to outsmart larger dogs in agility courses and competitions.
