Questions & Answers
Dachshunds belong to the Hound Group of dogs according to the American Kennel Club (AKC). This group encompasses several breeds, including Beagles, Foxhounds, and Rhodesian Ridgebacks, that have been bred for years as hunting dogs and scent hounds. Dachshunds were originally bred to hunt badgers, and have been around since the late 17th century. Their long body and short legs make them ideal for burrowing into the dens of the badger and using their energy, drive, and nose to hunt their prey.
Although it is possible to be allergic to any animal, whether it is a Dachshund or another breed, the likelihood is quite slim. Generally, the primary culprits of most pet allergies are the proteins found in an animal's skin, hair, saliva, and/or urine. Some people may be more sensitive to one breed more than another, but this is not typically due to the breed itself. It is often caused by the environment that the animal lives in, or how much it sheds.
Dachshunds should not be fed human food, as this will make them prone to unhealthy weight gain. Additionally, foods with a high fat content should be avoided as these may cause digestive issues or long-term health problems. Rawhide chews, cooked bones, and other large chunks should also not be fed to Dachshunds, as these can be choking hazards. Foods containing sugar or artificial sweeteners, onions, garlic, and grapes, should also not be given to them, as these can be poisonous to dachshunds.
Before taking the plunge and welcoming a new Dachshund into your home, it's important to prepare accordingly for their arrival. First, make sure that you have all of the necessary supplies, such as water and food bowls, bedding, chew toys, and a collar and leash. Additionally, secure a reputable veterinarian in your area to ensure that your new dog receives all the necessary vaccinations and checkups. Next, you'll want to create a plan for house training your pup and familiarizing them with other family members and animals.
Absolutely, Dachshunds are typically considered small-sized dogs. They reach a height of up to 9 inches and a weight of up to 32 pounds, which puts them in the miniature breed range. While they may be small, Dachshunds still require a considerable amount of exercise. Without it, their size may not matter, as they can become quite obese. It is important to keep up with the exercise routine for these tenacious little pups to ensure that they stay active and healthy.
Yes, you can take your Dachshund running, however it is important to keep a few key points in mind. First, if your dog is not used to vigorous exercise, you may want to start slow and increase the distance slowly to prevent any kind of strain or injury. Next, make sure that it is not too hot or cold outside, as Dachshunds are sensitive to extreme temperatures. Finally, if you are going to take your dog for a long run, make sure to bring enough water for both you and your pet.
Dachshunds can make wonderful companions for first-time owners. Dachshunds are intelligent, loyal, and relatively low-maintenance. They thrive on affection and companionship, and they're inherently protective. They also need plenty of exercise, so regular walks are a must for a first-time owner. With regular attention and care, these little dogs can be wonderful additions to a family. Keep in mind that they are stubborn, so it's important to establish a routine and implement an effective training plan.
Training a Dachshund can be both easy and challenging, depending on what kind of behavior you wish to achieve. Dachshunds are highly intelligent, making them easier to train than some other breeds, provided the right level of patience and consistency. It's important to establish basic commands early in their development, focusing on things like potty training and learning to stay on designated furniture and paths. However, their strong-willed nature can make it difficult for owners to remain consistent and persistent in their training, and training them to modify any ingrained behaviors will require more patience and time.
