Questions & Answers
Dachshunds are known for being extremely intelligent and loyal companions. Their compact size and outgoing personalities make them extremely popular for those looking for a smaller breed of dog. One of the most interesting things about Dachshunds is that they have a great sense of smell and love to explore their environment. They have an independent, strong-willed nature which makes them a unique breed of dog. Although they are small, they make great watchdogs as they can be quite protective.
No, Dachshunds are not hypoallergenic. A hypoallergenic dog does not produce allergens and does not cause allergic reactions in people who are sensitive to pet allergies. A dachshund's coat, while sleek and glossy, carries a certain amount of dander which can cause allergenic reactions in some people. Further, their fur can act as a magnet for pollen, dust, and other outdoor allergens, exacerbating the issue if brought indoors.
Dachshunds should not be fed any foods that are high in fat or sugar, as this can cause them to become overweight and have respiratory or digestive issues, which could lead to more serious health issues. Additionally, they should avoid grapes, raisins, and onions, as all of these have the potential to be toxic to the breed. Similarly, uncooked bones should not be consumed, as small bones can become lodged in their throats or intestines, causing an obstruction. As always, it is best to consult with a veterinarian before making any dietary changes.
Before getting a Dachshund, there are a few essential items you should consider. Invest in a comfortable, well-fitting collar and leash. This breed can put a lot of torque on the neck area, and the proper collar can help reduce the amount of strain. You may also want to purchase a crate for training and housetraining purposes. Consider picking up a chew toy or two, as this breed is highly motivated by play. Be sure to get a pet bed as well to give your Dachshund a cozy place to rest.
Dachshunds vary in size, so the answer to whether they are considered big dogs or not is subjective. Generally, Dachshunds are considered a small breed because they usually weigh no more than 32 pounds. However, since weight is not the only factor in determining size, some Dachshunds may appear bigger than others. For example, miniature Dachshunds typically stand 8-9" at the shoulder, while standard Dachshunds are approximately 11-12" high and long-haired Dachshunds tend to be a bit larger.
Dachshunds are an energetic breed of dog and they require lots of exercise to stay healthy and active. Depending on your dog, the ideal amount of exercise could vary but generally Dachshunds need at least one lengthy stroll each day and plenty of playtime. With short legs, these dogs may enjoy short bursts of play to make them feel active but adding in leisurely walks throughout the day is important for their health. Mental stimulation is important too, so engaging activities like puzzle toys, agility training and tracking help keep their minds active.
Dachshunds are known for their intelligence, loyalty, and playful nature, so they can usually learn to get along with other pets quite well. It is important to provide plenty of training to ensure the pet is well socialized, making introductions gradually and in a calm, peaceful way. Having consistent rules and boundaries in the home will also create a harmonious environment that is necessary for successful cohabitation between multiple pets. Dachshunds tend to require supervision when interacting with animals of the same size or smaller, as their hunting instinct can sometimes take over in play.
Training a Dachshund requires patience, consistency, and plenty of positive reinforcement. First, establish obedience commands including "sit," "down," and "come." It is important to maintain focus and give praise when commands are followed. Socializing your Dachshund from an early age is also vital to allow them to become comfortable with other people, animals and environments. Additionally, introducing new activities such as walking, agility and fetch can build trust and help them build confidence in exploring different surroundings.
