Questions & Answers
Dachshunds are small, loyal and brave dog breeds. They make great companions and are ideal for households with children. They are intelligent and generally quite easy to train. As a loyal breed they are very affectionate and can be a protective in nature so they make great watch dogs. Dachshunds have a long body and short legs which can contribute to some health problems with their back and neck around later stages of life, as such regular check-ups are recommended. Dachshunds require regular exercise and enjoy going on walks or running around in the garden.
Dachshunds are not considered to be hypoallergenic, meaning their fur or dander can trigger an allergic reaction in people with sensitivities. Although Dachshunds do have a short, thick coat that tends to trap less dirt and dander than some breeds of dog, they do produce enough dander to be an issue for allergy sufferers. One way for people with allergies to reduce their reaction to these dogs is to groom them regularly, use air purifiers in the house, and use a bath with a good organic shampoo specifically designed for dogs.
Feeding your dachshund properly is an important part of responsible pet ownership. There are plenty of commercial dry and wet foods available specifically formulated for dachshunds which are a great option because they're designed to provide a balanced nutrition. You could also feed your dachshund fresh food, providing a mix of cooked meats, grains and vegetables such as sweet potatoes, turnips, squash, carrots and green beans.
Before getting a Dachshund, it is essential to ensure that the house is ready for the new arrival. A few things to consider are buying a collar and leash, as well as purchasing food and water dishes. A proper bed for comfort and a crate for training purposes are also strongly recommended. You will also need food to feed your Dachshund, and it's best to look for a high-quality product that is right for their breed. Additionally, it is important to purchase several toys, allowing your pet to stay active and entertained.
Dachshunds come in two main sizes: standard and miniature. Standard Dachshunds usually range in weight from 16 to 32 pounds and stand 8 to 9 inches tall at the shoulder. On the other hand, miniature Dachshunds typically weigh from 11 to 16 pounds and stand no taller than 5 inches at the shoulder. While these are the two main sizes, you may also find miniature-standard Dachshunds that weigh between 16 and 32 pounds and stand between 5 and 9 inches tall.
Walking your Dachshund daily is an important part of maintaining their health and wellbeing. Ideally, you should take them on a 30 to 45-minute walk each day, but the exact duration of the walk will depend on your specific Dachshund's age, weight, and activity level. However, always remember that a dog's age in "human years" is not the same as their actual age in calendar years, so if your dog is considered a senior, you should shorten the walk to around 15 minutes.
Generally speaking, Dachshunds can be quite friendly and get along with other animals easily. However, depending on the temperament of the individual dog, the breed may not get along with all animals. It's important that owners ensure their Dachshund is properly socialized early in life to increase the chances of the animal being accepting of other pets. Furthermore, Dachshunds are quite energetic and active, so they may be a bit too much for some more passive breeds.
Yes, Dachshunds are considered smart dogs! These spunky little dogs are actually quite intelligent, and can learn tricks easily. They are also remarkably adept at problem solving, and often display strong memory and comprehension skills. Dachshunds are highly trainable and they often take direction well. In addition, these dogs have strong senses of smell and hearing, which allows them to be quite perceptive and alert. All of these traits together make Dachsunds a surprisingly capable and smart breed of dog!
