Questions & Answers
Dachshunds belong to the hound group of dogs and are one of the oldest breeds of domesticated dogs. They are known for their long bodies, short legs, and alert, curious nature. They often have a long, thin nose that looks like a large pair of glasses and are frequently shown with their ears drooping down. Dachshunds are often described as independent thinkers who simply want to please their owners, making them an intelligent and loyal companion.
Dachshunds are not hypoallergenic. Even though a Dachshund's short, smooth coat contains less shedding than other breeds, a person with an allergy to dogs may still experience reactions when exposed to a Dachshund. Also, the breed does require some grooming which can cause allergic reactions by agitating the skin or activating airborne allergens. If you are considering a Dachshund and have allergies, it is suggested that you visit an area breeder, rescue, or existing home with a Dachshund before committing to adoption.
Yes, Dachshunds have special dietary needs due to their stature and their sensitivity to certain foods. It is important to ensure the diet is nutritionally balanced and composed of the right ingredients. The breed's metabolism should be taken into account when selecting foods, as some may need fewer calories while others require more. Additionally, high-quality proteins are essential to supplement the Dachshund's activity levels, with fatty acids playing a major role in healthy skin and coat development. Typically, commercial diets may need to be supplemented with certain vitamins to provide proper nutrition.
To become the best puppy parent for your Dachshund, the most important thing to do is to provide plenty of love and attention. Start by taking the time to build a strong bond with your pup and make sure you're offering consistent training, regular exercise, proper veterinary care, mental stimulation and healthy food. Show your Dachshund plenty of affection and demonstrate good behavior habits so they can learn from you. Plan out their day and create a routine so your pup knows what to expect each day.
Dachshunds typically grow to between 8 and 9 inches at the shoulder and can weigh up to 11 to 32 pounds as adults, depending on their size (miniature vs. standard). However, the size of your Dachshund puppy will depend on their parents. Generally speaking, miniature Dachshunds tend to be about 4 to 6 pounds at 8 weeks of age, while a standard size puppy may range from 8 to 10 pounds.
Yes, Dachshunds are quite active. They are naturally curious and love to explore their environment. They delight in engaging in long walks, runs, and playtime with their owners. Although they may appear to be lazy at times, they truly live to be active, running and chasing anything that moves. They also enjoy playing fetch and other physically demanding activities. Despite their small size, Dachshunds are very energetic and need plenty of exercise and stimulation to stay healthy and happy.
Dachshunds are generally friendly and sociable dogs that can get along well with other pets, such as cats. Surprisingly, the pairing often comes naturally! Despite being quite independent and strong-willed, Dachshunds are typically open to meeting new animals and even forming bonds with them. To help both your Dachshund and other pet adjust to one another, introduce them gradually and provide plenty of opportunities for them to socialize and interact. Supervise them when they're together initially, and be sure to give each animal their own space and individual attention.
Dachshunds are widely thought of as smart dogs due to their easily trained nature and quick understanding of commands. They have been labeled as "Houdini dogs" and are known to be particularly adept at escaping. This skill is only possible due to their sharp minds and ability to think on their paws. Dachshunds are also known for being independent problem solvers and can quickly adjust to new environments. Some even say that they have a human-like intelligence about them. All in all, Dachshunds are intelligent pooches that make great companion animals.
