Questions & Answers
Dachshunds are a class of dog that are classified in the Hound Groups of the American Kennel Club's (AKC) breed categories. They are also known as the “sausage dog” or “hotdog” for their appearance with a long, low body, short legs, and a long snout. Dachshunds are fiercely loyal, intelligent, fiercely independent, and very social dogs who make excellent companions to their people.
Managing allergies with Dachshunds requires a few proactive strategies. Staying informed is key. Seek guidance from your veterinarian on the best ways to reduce allergens in the home and how to groom your Dachshund with minimal exposure. Regular brushing is important to reduce dander and hair that can cause allergic reactions. It's also helpful to provide your Dachshund with a proper diet and plenty of exercise.
Dachshunds should not be fed the following: table scraps such as fatty deli meats, fatty hamburgers or sausage, chocolate, onions, dairy products, grapes, raisins, macadamia nuts, and any foods that are high in sugar or toxins. While these foods may be safe for other dogs, they can be harmful to Dachshunds. Additionally, rawhide, bones, and any other hard objects should be avoided as these can present a choking hazard or can splinter when chewed.
Yes, Dachshunds have certain needs that should be met to keep them healthy and happy. Because they are long-bodied and short-legged dogs, their backs can be vulnerable. Their short legs also mean that their exercise needs can be met with short, frequent, low-impact activities such as walking or playing. When indoors, stairs should be avoided as much as possible as this could put too much strain on their back. Grooming is also an important part of a Dachshund's routine, with regular brushing and occasional professional grooming recommended.
Dachshunds are small to medium-sized dogs. Generally speaking, they do not reach the same size or weight as bigger breeds, such as German Shepherds or Rottweilers. However, they may be considered 'big' in comparison to toy breeds, such as Chihuahuas or Yorkshire Terriers. Additionally, their long bodies and short legs give them a unique look that is all their own. Although they're considered small dogs, Dachshunds can be very brave and loyal, often displaying fearless behavior despite their pint-sized stature.
Dachshunds are among the numerous dog breeds that enjoy the occasional dip in the pool or in a lake or river. Since they are smaller and have shorter legs than other breeds, they may require assistance getting in and out of the water. Generally, Dachshunds have an affinity for water if introduced slowly and with patience. With the right introduction young puppies may learn to paddle and enjoy swimming. As with any breed, start slowly and let your pup watch from the side, eventually introducing them more fully into the body of water.
Generally speaking, Dachshunds can make great companions for families with children. They are small enough to be manageable, but energetic enough to keep up with the energy of kids. They are also very loyal and affectionate, and their loveable personalities make them an excellent companion for kids. It is important, however, to provide proper socialization and obedience training for a Dachshund since their stubborn streak can become a problem if left unchecked.
Dachshunds are classified as a "smart breed" of dogs, meaning that they are able to learn quickly and can be trained with relative ease. They are able to understand verbal commands and non-verbal cues and adjust their behavior accordingly. Their eagerness to please makes them good companions in interactions with humans and they can be taught to obey specific commands quite efficiently. This, along with their spiritedness and playful personality, makes them an ideal pet for an active family seeking a pet that is both intelligent and loving.
