Questions & Answers
Dachshunds are one of the most popular dog breeds and they certainly have an interesting history. Developed in Germany over 400 years ago, they were bred to hunt foxes and badgers among other burrowing animals, which explains their incredibly long bodies. Even today they tend to be incredibly curious and persistent like their ancestors! They were once even used as working dogs, employed to search for wounded soldiers in the trenches of World War I. Not only are these courageous dogs fascinatingly versatile but they are also highly intelligent.
Managing allergies with Dachshunds can be done by reducing contact with potential allergens and reducing the presence of allergens in places where the Dachshund lives. To reduce contact, it is important to bathe the Dachshund regularly so that it is clean and free of dander, as this is one of the primary causes of allergies. It is also important to regularly groom the Dachshund, remove any excess fur, and vacuum the house and furnishings often.
Dachshunds should not be fed any type of human food such as chocolate, onions, garlic, grapes, raisins, or avocados since they can be toxic and cause serious health problems. Additionally, these dogs should avoid fatty and greasy table scraps which could lead to pancreatitis. Extra caution must be taken when feeding a Dachshund to ensure foods contain high quality protein like lean meats, fish, and poultry, with plenty of complex carbohydrates such as brown rice, vegetables, and fruits. Avoid any dog foods that contain artificial colors, flavors, or preservatives.
Preparing for a new Dachshund may seem daunting, but there are several helpful steps you can take to ensure a smooth transition for both you and your pet. First, familiarize yourself with the vet you plan to use. Establishing a relationship with their office before scheduling an appointment is recommended, as they can provide helpful tips and resources for caring for your new pup. Next, have the essentials on hand: a crate, food and water dishes, treats, a leash and collar, and durable toys.
Yes, Dachshunds are typically regarded as small dogs. These tricolor hunting hounds were bred to fit into small spaces and flush badger and other small animals out of their dens. In general, Dachshunds can range from 8-9 inches in shoulder height and 11-32 pounds in weight, making them easily distinguishable from the larger dog breeds. Due to their smaller size, Dachshunds make great loyal family pets and thrive in small spaces.
Running can be a great way to bond with your pet, and Dachshunds can enjoy it too! Of course, if you plan on taking your pup for longer runs, you may want to consult a veterinarian first to ensure they can handle it. Before you go on any running excursions with your Dachshund, make sure you are able to monitor their pace and that you have a safe space for them to rest. You should also be careful to not overwork their legs as they may be prone to leg strain.
Generally speaking, Dachshunds make great family dogs! They are full of personality and love to be part of the family. Dachshunds are loyal, brave and full of energy, and they get along well with both children and other pets. They require regular exercise, are great at obedience training and often tend to bond strongly with their family. In fact, they are often considered to be one of the most devoted and loyal dog breeds. Additionally, they are very energy-efficient, requiring little food, relatively little grooming and exercise.
Dachshunds certainly have their own brand of intelligence. Studies have shown that they rank fairly high in tests aimed at demonstrating their ability to solve problems, and they certainly show impressive levels of loyalty and obedience towards their owners. While these qualities may be seen in many other breeds of dogs, the bright and enthusiastic personality of the Dachshund, combined with their inquisitive and energetic nature, means that they are boisterous and playful animals that are sure to keep their owners amused and entertained. Their willingness to work hard and learn new tasks is also a testament to their intelligence.
