Questions & Answers
One of the most interesting facts about Dachshunds is their long history in the hunting world. Despite their small stature, Dachshunds have been some of the best hunting dogs for centuries, thanks to their energetic and obsessively determined nature. Their robust body and bright personality make them incredibly capable hunters. They have almost unmatched burrowing abilities, which have made them ideal for pursuing badgers and small burrowing animals. Additionally, their courage is truly unparalleled, often making them the focal point of the hunt.
Dachshunds are not classified as a hypoallergenic breed, so if you suffer from allergies then it's highly unlikely these low-slung dogs will be suitable for you. While no breed is totally hypoallergenic, as all dogs shed to some degree, Dachshunds are classified as moderate shedders which means the amount of their fur that is shed is higher than breeds that are considered hypoallergenic. Therefore, if you suffer from allergies then it's probably a better idea to look at breeds that are less likely to trigger them.
Dachshunds should not be fed grapes, raisins, onions, garlic, chocolate, or other sugary snacks. These foods can cause kidney problems in dachshunds due to their small size and little stomachs. Additionally, dachshunds can be prone to obesity, so fatty foods like bacon, sausage, and fatty treats should also be avoided. Too much of these items can lead to serious health issues.
Preparing for a new Dachshund can seem daunting, but with the right research and planning, you'll be ready to welcome your new pup into your home. Consider the essentials, such as pet supplies like food and water dishes, leash, collar, and perhaps a crate. Research different Dachshund diets and ages to determine the appropriate food for the size and age of your pup. Make sure to factor in any medical supplies and regular vet visits that may be necessary, such as flea and heartworm preventatives.
Yes, Dachshunds are considered small dogs. They are members of the hound group, along with smaller breeds such as Shih Tzus and Pugs, but Dachshunds are typically the smallest of the pack. As a breed, Dachshunds tend to measure between 15-25 cm, and weigh an average of 8-11 kg, making them much smaller than other breeds of similar stature. Dachshunds are also known for their short legs and long bodies, giving them an amusingly distinct look.
Dachshunds require moderate daily exercise to stay healthy, happy, and in good physical shape. On average, they need at least two thirty-minute walks or playtime sessions each day. Additionally, Dachshunds tend to be very active indoors, so regular playtimes indoors can help. It's important to keep in mind that Dachshunds have short legs and long backs, so activities like running and jumping should be avoided to prevent hurting their backs.
Generally, Dachshunds get along quite well with kids. The breed is known to be intelligent, loyal and tenacious, and makes an excellent companion to children. Dachshunds are especially loving and can be good protectors of the young ones in the family. They are also responsive and can be trained to obey basic commands. However, Dachshunds need to be socialized from a young age and it is important that they have had proper training for proper behavior around children.
It depends on the individual dog, but as a general rule of thumb, you should provide at least 15 minutes of training per day for your Dachshund. Of course, the more time and patience you invest in daily training, the better. Be sure to start with easy exercises that gradually become more complex, and always reward your pup for its progress and successes. Training your dog should be enjoyable for both of you, but it should also provide structure, lest your Dachshund become unruly.
