Questions & Answers
Dachshunds are amazing dogs with interesting facts! Did you know that the breed actually dates back as far as Ancient Egypt? The breed has also been known by many different names, including "Badger Dog" in German, "Teckel" in French, and "Doxie" in more modern times. One fun fact is that despite their small size, dachshunds have big personalities. They are also known for their courageous and loyal dispositions, often serving as good watchdogs that will bark when strangers approach.
Dachshunds are not considered to be hypoallergenic because they are not on the list of true hypoallergenic breeds. They are not known for their hypoallergenic qualities, as their short, furry coats emit dander into the air, which can trigger allergies in some people. However, this doesn't necessarily mean that all people are allergic to dachshunds. Many individuals with allergies are able to keep a dachshund as a pet without any issues, as long as the necessary steps are taken to minimize allergen exposure.
Dachshunds need a diet that is rich in quality protein and healthy fats to provide the nutrition they require. When choosing a food for your Dachshund, look for one that contains real protein such as meat, poultry, or fish as it's first ingredient. Additionally, look for a food low in carbohydrates and unknown ingredients. Opt for a diet that is free of added fillers, artificial colors, additives and by-products. It's also important for Dachshunds to have quality chews and treats available.
Before getting a Dachshund, it is important to invest in some essential items. Some of the items you should purchase are a collar and leash, a crate/cage for when you're not at home to provide comfort and safety, high-quality food, food and water bowls, bedding for rest and comfort, toys for entertainment, a brush and/or comb for grooming, and a dog bed for ultimate relaxation. You should also look into investing in a microchip to ensure your Dachshund is safe and returned in the case of an emergency.
Dachshunds have a small, compact physique typically weighing up to 32 pounds, making them much smaller than most large breed dogs. However, their long, low-slung bodies and short legs make them appear larger than they actually are. They can also reach up to 8 to 9 inches tall at the shoulder with some standards even reaching over a foot tall. Generally speaking, while not considered a large breed, their body stature allows them to appear bigger and their traits may resemble larger breeds.
Yes! Taking your Dachshund for runs is a great way to ensure they get sufficient exercise and stimulation. Generally, these pooches can handle running up to five miles, depending on age and fitness levels. Before you embark on your outdoor running adventure, make sure to always carry a water bottle and a bowl to take breaks for your pup. If you're running in hot temperatures, pay extra attention to make sure your pup is not getting overheated. Obey all signs regarding pet access as some parks and trails may not allow animals.
Absolutely! Dachshunds are nice, loyal, and friendly—and are a great choice if you're looking for a loving, peaceful addition to your family. In fact, they can be wonderful, affectionate, and unobtrusive companions for everyone, from small children to the elderly. They are known to be playful, curious, and intelligent animals that can provide hours of entertainment for the whole family. Plus, with their short, stocky stature, they don’t require much space, making them perfect for small homes.
The amount of minutes you should spend training your dachshunds each day will depend on the age of the dog and their learning level. Generally speaking, younger dogs should receive short, frequent training sessions that last 5-10 minutes each day. As your dachshunds get used to the training process, you may be able to increase training times to 15-20 minutes per day. For adult dogs, longer sessions lasting up to 30 minutes each day may be necessary.
