Questions & Answers
Dachshunds have a unique history that dates all the way back to 18th century Germany, where they were bred to hunt badgers. Fun fact: Their very name comes from two German words 'dachs', which means badger, and 'hund', which means hound. Dachshunds are particularly known for their long, low-to-the-ground bodies and short legs. Today, there are three varieties of dachshunds: Smooth-haired, longhaired, and wirehaired.
Dachshunds are generally considered to be a hypoallergenic breed of dog, meaning that those with pet allergies may have fewer reactions due to their lack of fur and minimal dander. However, as with all breeds of dog, an individual's sensitivity to pet dander can vary greatly. It's best to conduct a sensitivity test before deciding whether or not a dachshund is an appropriate pet for a person with allergies.
Dachshunds are omnivores which means they eat a combination of foods including meat, vegetables, and grains. A high-quality, balanced dry diet designed specifically for small breed dogs should be the foundation of their diet. Commercially available dog foods usually are supplemented with other types of food such as fresh vegetables, cooked meats, eggs, and cottage cheese. Dachshunds should always have access to a shallow bowl of clean, fresh water. They also may enjoy the occasional treat such as plain yogurt, apples, and oatmeal.
Before you bring home your new Dachshund, it is essential to ensure your home is pet-friendly and prepared for the pup's arrival. Start by identifying pet-free areas of the home and pet-proofing other areas by ensuring all hazardous items are locked away or placed somewhere out of reach. You will also need to create a safe space where your Dachshund can retreat to if they feel overwhelmed. This space should include their own bed, blanket, toys, and other items for comfort.
Yes, Dachshunds are considered small dogs. They are a type of hound typically characterised by their long, low body, short legs and long and tapering snout. Dachshunds come in two varieties, the standard and miniature. The standard size weighs 16-32 pounds whereas the miniature variety does not exceed 11 pounds. With their lively personalities and wide range of colours and patterns, Dachshunds make great family pets.
Dachshunds can be very active dogs depending on their individual personalities. Generally they have a high energy level, which means they thrive when given proper daily exercise to keep them healthy and happy. There are many activities that Dachshunds can enjoy such as walks, runs or even games of fetch. However, they can be equally content with snuggling up on the couch with their beloved human companion.
Yes, Dachshunds can often get along well with other pets when given proper guidance and introduction. However, it is important to know that Dachshunds are hunting breeds and have a strong prey drive, and can be quite territorial, so it is important to keep a close eye on them. When introducing new pets, always do so slowly and in a safe environment, such as outdoors and leashed at all times. Start with brief introductions and gradually build up to longer periods.
Training a Dachshund is not an easy undertaking. It takes commitment, patience, and consistency to achieve desired results. Dachshunds are highly curious and active animals and tend to thrive on physical and mental stimulation. This means training has to be done in an environment where the dog can focus and it has your full attention. It also can be helpful to use treats to reward good behavior during the training since Dachshunds are food motivated. It is best to be flexible with training and forgo the same techniques every time while still maintaining a consistent format.
