Questions & Answers
Dachshunds have an interesting and entertaining personality that makes them a unique breed. Known for their playful nature, Dachshunds are often described as mischievous, friendly, and loveable. They tend to have an unusually long lifespan than other breeds, often reaching up to 16 years or more. Additionally, Dachshunds are known for their intelligence and loyalty. They can quickly learn simple commands and are known to be extremely affectionate with their owners.
Dachshunds are not hypoallergenic, meaning they are still capable of producing allergens that could cause reactions. While their short hair and coat make them low shedders compared to other breeds, they are still able to create allergens through their skin, saliva, and dander. As a result, a person with allergies should consider this breed carefully before bringing one into the home. It is always recommended that families consider how their lifestyle might be impacted by the presence of pet allergens before making a commitment to any breed.
Dachshunds are a delightful small breed of dogs with long, lean bodies and short legs. However, there are certain foods that should be avoided when feeding a dachshund. Foods that are too salty can lead to excessive thirst and urination, as can fatty foods as they can cause pancreatitis. Additionally, it is important to keep dachshunds away from bones, as they can easily get caught in their throats. Grapes, raisins, onion and garlic are all toxic to dachshunds and should be avoided.
Before getting a Dachshund, it's important to stock up on essentials like food, treats, collars, leashes, toys, grooming equipment, beds, and chew-resistant items. As Dachshunds are diggers, having a designated space for them to do this without ruining your yard is also important. Additionally, they are wise investments in terms of securing their health and wellness. Having the usual supplies like heartworm or flea and tick prevention items, and a first aid kit on hand is critical.
Dachshunds are classified as small dogs, and certainly not considered big. At first glance, they may look like they could be a larger breed. However, they rarely exceed 11 pounds in weight, and their frame is quite small and compact. When compared to many other breeds, Dachshunds are among the smallest. Furthermore, they usually don't grow to be any taller than about 12 inches. Although they are small, these intelligent and loyal dogs tend to have plenty of personality. They also make great companions and are good family pets.
Dachshunds need a moderate amount of exercise. This could include walking two to three times a day or playing games in the yard. To prevent joint issues, it is best for Dachshunds to get short, regular exercise routines rather than occasional strenuous exercise. Also, keep in mind that Dachshunds can get over-stimulated, so avoiding overly-strenuous exercise can help ensure that they stay calm and focused. Despite their short legs and compact size, Dachshunds make great jogging companions and can enjoy a good daily run.
Yes, Dachshunds are excellent with children! They love the extra attention and affection that being included in family activities brings. Although their size can sometimes be intimidating to small children, Dachshunds tend to be very patient and gentle when introduced to them correctly. They are very intelligent and eager to learn, and if trained from an early age they can pick up basic commands quite easily. Dachshunds are also known for their loyalty, which means that they stick close to their owners and would give their lives for their family.
The amount of time you need to dedicate to training your Dachshund depends entirely upon the individual needs of your specific dog. The time commitment can depend on a variety of factors such as the age, breed, and size of your dog, as well as the training methods you are using and the goals you are aiming to achieve. Generally, it is recommended to set aside at least 20 minutes each day for training in order to achieve consistent, desirable results.
