Questions & Answers
Dachshunds, also known as 'Doxies' or 'Wiener-dogs' are one of the most popular dog breeds in the world. Here are some fun facts about them: They come in two sizes, miniature and standard, with the colors ranging from black, to red wheaten, to sable form. Originally bred as working hunting dogs, the Dachshund has great stamina and strength for their small stature and can still hunt prey as large as a wild boar.
Dachshunds do not inherently cause allergies, however, like with any breed, some people may be more sensitive to certain aspects of the breed and could experience allergies. For example, some may be allergic to the saliva, oils, and dander that the breed may emit. To ensure that no allergies will develop, it is important to consider the individual's history and possible triggers for allergies. If the individual has a known history of allergies, then it is best to stay away from breeds that have a greater degree of hair shedding and dander production.
Dachshunds require a balanced diet of high-quality, age-appropriate foods formulated for their size. They should eat multiple small meals throughout the day comprised of a combination of kibble and wet food to ensure they're getting enough healthy proteins, fats, carbohydrates, vitamins, and minerals. It's important to feed them a diet that is appropriate to their activity level and any existing medical conditions as well. Fresh vegetables, cooked lean meats, and eggs are great ways to supplement their meals. Additionally, certain treats like rawhide bones (in moderation) can be used as an occasional reward.
When getting a Dachshund, make sure to secure all the essentials you need. Start by purchasing a bed and some basic grooming supplies such as a steel comb, a brush, a slicker brush, and a nail clipper. Additionally, you'll want to get something to contain your pet's waste like a litter box, some plastic bags, and a leash and collar. Furthermore, think about providing quality food and treats, appropriate toys, and a carrier for ease of transportation.
The size of your Dachshund puppy will depend greatly on the breed, and may range from as small as 7 or 8 pounds to as large as 32 pounds. Generally, their height can range from 5 to 9 inches at the shoulder. While, much like larger breeds, Dachshunds' size is determined by the amount of food and exercise they receive, ultimately the size variation will be determined by the parent breeds. So, it's best to research the breeds of your puppy's parents in order to get an idea of their potential size.
Yes, you can take your Dachshund running! This can be a great way to exercise and bond with your dog. It's important to make sure your pup is healthy enough to go jogging with you and that you plan out a safe, age-appropriate workout program that won't tire them out too quickly. Additionally, it's best to check with your vet regarding your pup's comfort level and fitness goals for the activity. It may be a good idea to start with light jogs and slow runs before transitioning to longer running sessions.
Dachshunds can make wonderful family pets, given the right temperament and training. They are typically loyal, intelligent, and calm dogs. They do well with children if properly socialized and have a lot of patience for activity, especially if introduced to it at a young age. Dachshunds are generally quite trainable and can be excellent with other animals and family members. They just need guidance and consistency, but be aware that they can suffer from separation anxiety if left alone for too long. Regular exercise and plenty of attention will keep them healthy, mentally stimulated, and happy.
Dachshunds are often considered to be one of the more intelligent breeds of dogs. Studies have found that they have the same problem-solving skills and working memory as other popular breeds. Perhaps even more impressive is their ability to remember and identify objects that they've seen before. Their intelligence and loyalty make them a great companion and a fun addition to all types of families. In addition, they are known to be quite adaptable and relatively easy to train due to their intelligence.
