Questions & Answers
A Dachshund is a small, long-bodied, short-legged breed of hunting dog which originates in Germany. They are often referred to as ‘Doxies’ and come in a variety of colors and fur types. Outgoing, eager to please, and lively, Dachshunds can make for entertaining, playful, and loving companions. They do, however, have some particular needs. Dachshunds are long-lived and require frequent grooming.
There is no definitive answer to the question of whether dachshunds will cause someone to have allergies. Some people may be more sensitive to certain breeds of dogs than others. Exposure to dander and other allergens present in any pet's fur can trigger allergic reactions. If you think you may be sensitive to a dachshund, it's best to consider factors such as the impact of any dander buildup in your home, if you have the right environment to house a dog, and if you are able and willing to stay on top of regular grooming and cleaning for your pet.
The best dog food for Dachshunds depends on a variety of factors such as age, activity level, medical history, and food sensitivities. In general, high-quality dry dog food should be tailored to the breed's specific needs. Look for foods that have ingredients like protein from animal sources, vegetables, whole grains, and fruits. Avoid foods that contain by-products, artificial flavors, and preservatives. We recommend consulting with your vet to determine the best diet plan for your Dachshund.
Yes, Dachshunds do have some specialized requirements that are important to consider when taking ownership of this breed. First and foremost, Dachshunds are quite small dogs and, as such, cannot jump up on furniture, so they should always have plenty of ground access. This also means that they should not live in places that are high-rise or in homes with large amounts of stairs.
Yes, Dachshunds are widely accepted as small dogs. This breed typically stands at 8-9 inches and typically weighs between 16-32 lbs, making it a relatively small breed. As a result, Dachshunds are commonly considered small dogs due to their smaller frame when compared to other breeds. Dachshunds are also known to be friendly, determined, and even-tempered, making them a popular choice of small pet among families.
Dachshunds require a moderate amount of exercise to maintain their health and a good quality of life. Generally speaking, they should receive around 30 minutes of exercise each day which might include a walk, playing fetch or tug-of-war, or letting them run around off-leash. Keeping their bodies and minds active is important as Dachshunds are highly intelligent and can become bored easily. Additionally, participating in activities such as Nosework and going on hikes can be an excellent way to help your Dachshund remain physically and mentally stimulated.
Yes, Dachshunds can be a great pet for first-time owners! With their smaller stature, they don't require as much exercise as some of the larger dog breeds and are well-suited to suburban and urban settings. They're also known for their friendly temperament and intelligence, making them fairly easy to house-train. Plus, they tend to form strong bonds with their owners, which makes them incredibly loyal companions. That said, they can be stubborn and independent and, because of their size, may not be the best choice for households with smaller children.
Dachshunds are often considered and known to be intelligent and hardworking dogs. They are intuitive, curious, and eager to please which often leads to them picking things up quickly. With adequate training, Dachshunds can be taught a variety of commands as well as follow complex instructions. Their aptitude for learning is one of the many reasons Dachshunds are increasingly gaining popularity as a family pet. They are playful, loyal, and have a strong need to bond with their owners, demonstrating their intelligence in so many ways.
