Questions & Answers
A Dachshund, sometimes referred to as a "Sausage Dog" or a "Teckel," is a small, long-bodied hound breed originating in Germany in the 1600s. It is believed that these courageous, playful canines were bred to be used to flush badgers from out of their burrows; their long, low body structure easily maneuvers through tunnels. Dachshunds are friendly and loyal, have an impressive intelligence, and are fiercely protective of their families.
While it is possible to experience allergies due to contact with a dachshund, it is not typical for most people. Dachshunds don’t have particularly thick coats, and thus may not trigger allergy reactions the same way as some other types of dogs. That being said, if you have known allergies or a propensity towards allergies, it is still recommended that you take necessary precautions to ensure the safety of your health such as visiting an allergist prior to getting a dachshund.
Dachshunds should be fed a high-quality, age-appropriate diet that is tailored to help support their unique needs. Look for a food that is appropriate for their size and activity level, with age-appropriate ingredients like meat, vegetables, and healthy fat sources. If you have any questions, your veterinarian is the best resource for specific dietary advice. Consider adding a variety of chewable toys and treats to provide essential mental stimulation and nutritional balance. Fresh water should always be available and changed at least once a day.
Preparing for a new Dachshund can be a lot of fun! First, you should ensure you have an appropriate space for your pup and all of its necessary supplies. Make sure you have fresh food and water dishes, a bed, grooming supplies, a safe environment with plenty of toys, and a properly-sized crate for your Dachshund. Additionally, you should plan to walk or play with your pup for a minimum of 30 minutes each day to help them stay active and healthy.
Determining how big your Dachshund puppy is likely to be when fully-grown is difficult, since the size can vary depending on factors such as genetics and diet. Generally, adult Dachshunds stand anywhere from 8 to 9 inches in height at the shoulders and weigh 16 to 32 pounds. However, some individuals may be taller, shorter, heavier, or lighter. Looking to your pup's parents if they're available can also provide an indication of what size your pup may be when they're fully grown.
Many Dachshunds enjoy playing in the water, either in a pool or a lake, and may even paddle around. While they aren't known for their long-distance swimming skills, most Dachshunds are capable of paddling ashore or playing fetch in shallow waters. Their short legs make swimming more difficult for them, and they tend to tire more quickly than other breeds. An overweight Dachshund is also more likely to struggle to swim.
Absolutely! Dachshunds are popularly known to be loyal and loving family pets due to their affectionate natures and spunky personalities. They make great companions for kids and adults alike, brought together by their fun-loving and clownish character. In addition to their temperament, Dachshunds can thrive in many living situations, so they’re generally quite adaptable. They’re also intelligent, and like to learn and stay active. If properly cared and socialized, they can even get along well with other animals.
Dachshunds are highly intelligent and inquisitive, often displaying an unusual level of attentiveness and problem-solving ability. Trixie, the dachshund in the Disney movie 101 Dalmatians, was an extreme example of the breed's intelligence. Dachshunds are also highly trainable, making them loyal and obedient companions that are eager to please their owners. Dachshunds excel in obedience and agility competitions, proving that they have the focus and drive to succeed in various tasks.
