Questions & Answers
Dachshunds are a breed of small, muscular hounds that have captivated people's hearts with their big personalities and unique physical characteristics. The most interesting thing about Dachshunds is that they come in two sizes, standard and miniature, as well as three coat varieties that come in a range of colors. They also boast a fiercely independent and curious nature that makes them a joy to own. Additionally, they are extremely brave and have a comical personality, making them a fan favorite at dog shows and among animal-lovers everywhere.
It is possible for some people to be allergic to Dachshunds, though not everyone who is allergic to other dogs will be allergic to Dachshunds. Since all allergies are different, the best way to find out if you will be allergic is to spend some time with a Dachshund and take note of any reactions you may have. Allergies often manifest as an itchy nose, sneezing, coughing, watery eyes, or skin irritation.
Yes, Dachshunds have special dietary needs. They require a diet higher in protein to support their active lifestyle, so premium dry dog food for active adult dogs is usually the best choice. They also benefit from additional sources of protein such as chicken, turkey, or fish, and dry or fresh vegetables. Small bites of food throughout the day can help improve digestion in these flat-faced breeds. Because the lower jaw of Dachshunds can be weak, softer kibble can be useful.
To become the best puppy parent for your Dachshund, make sure to spend plenty of time with your pup and provide them with a well-balanced diet, adequate exercise and grooming. Additionally, be sure to socialize them early and often with other dogs and people to help them become well-rounded and confident as they mature. Additionally, training is key to successful puppy parenting; make sure to use reward-based methods with positive reinforcement to ensure your pup learns basic obedience commands and boundaries.
Dachshunds can be considered relatively large dogs when compared to some toy-sized breeds, but perhaps not as large as other breeds. Depending on the type of Dachshund you have, it may be anywhere from 9-32 pounds in weight, and can have a height of 8-9 inches when measured at the shoulder. Although they are considered a smaller breed of canine, they can provide a good deal of comfort in an apartment or small home, and can make a great companion for an individual or family.
While not all Dachshunds may choose to embrace the water, many find joy in the occasional dip. In fact, for some, swimming can be a great form of exercise that relieves joint pain related to their long, relatively-low-slung bodies. For Dachshunds, it is important to keep the swim sessions short and closely supervised to prevent over-exertion and potential for injury. Many owners report that their pup loves the splash of puddles or a shallow wading pool more than the full-on swim.
Generally, Dachshunds are good with kids as long as they are socialized early and exposed to children frequently. Dachshunds are loyal, gentle and affectionate dogs, which can make them excellent family companions particularly with older kids that can handle them more gently and responsibly. Additionally, Dachshunds are remarkably intelligent and can easily be taught basic commands, so they can respond to younger children when needed.
Absolutely! Dachshunds are often referred to as intelligent dogs, with their keen sense of smell and independent nature making them confident and curious about their surroundings. They learn quickly and love being challenged, making them ideal pets for those looking for a companion that will actively engage in training and play. Dachshunds are also known to be social dogs, forming strong bonds with their owners, as well as being notoriously loyal to their people. All of these characteristics make Dachshunds highly intelligent and an ideal choice for any dog lover.
