Questions & Answers
Dachshunds are lively, friendly, and inquisitive dogs that make for delightful companions. They are one of the oldest breeds of dog and were originally bred in Germany to hunt small game such as badgers. Dachshunds come in various sizes and colors, ranging from miniature to standard sizes, and from classic black and tan to wire-haired and even longand smooth-haired varieties, so you can find a Dachshund to suit any lifestyle. They are loyal and devoted to their owners and can be sensitive.
Dachshunds are not traditionally considered hypoallergenic, meaning that most people with allergies could experience an allergic reaction to a Dachshund. This is because Dachshunds have traditionally been bred for fur rather than other traits, and thus can have thick, fluffy coats like many other breeds. As with all dogs, however, it's important to bathe the dog regularly to reduce any potential issues. Additionally, some Dachshunds may not have a particularly heavy coat, meaning that those individuals may be better options for those who suffer from allergies.
Dachshunds are enjoyable and loving companions, but it's important to remember that certain food items can be dangerous for them. To safeguard their health, treats such as chocolate, raisins, grapes, onions, garlic, macadamia nuts, and sugar-free candy should be avoided, as these can lead to vomiting, diarrhea, and other gastrointestinal issues.
Becoming the best puppy parent for your Dachshund requires dedication, compassion, and understanding. The first step is to get to know your breed. Research the particular qualities and needs of a Dachshund and learn best practices for raising one as a puppy. Be sure to provide a safe environment with plenty of space to run and play, and ensure your pup has a healthy diet and plenty of exercise. Take the time to get imprinted on basic commands and provide plenty of positive reinforcement, such as treats and praise. Finally, stay up to date on veterinary care and vaccinations.
Dachshunds, also known as a "sausage dog" or a "wiener dog", can range in size from miniature (11 pounds or less) to standard (usually between 16 to 32 pounds). Generally, they’re about 8 to 9 inches tall when standing, measuring from their paw to the top of their shoulder. However, it’s possible for taller Dachshunds to reach up to 14 inches in height. Their unique body shape often causes them to look larger than they actually are.
Dachshunds are known for their energy and enthusiasm, making them active and lively dogs. They thrive with plenty of exercise and are good for activities like running, playing fetch and taking long walks. Although short-legged and small-bodied, they have a huge amount of heart and enthusiasm for activity, making sure they are engaged with owners and get plenty of exercise. Most dachshunds are active by nature, but the amount of play and activity they enjoy and need does vary.
Dachshunds are generally friendly and sociable dogs, and can often make great companions for children when properly socialized. They usually get along well with other animals, too. Dachshunds are loyal and devoted to their humans, often forming strong bonds with a particular family member. They tend to be affectionate and playful with kids, but because of their size, Dachshunds can sometimes get a little too excited in their interactions.
Dachshunds are an intelligent breed that can certainly be classified as smart, although this intelligence can manifest differently depending on each individual dog. They can be quite inquisitive and learn quickly, so when it comes to obedience training they have the capability to master basic commands in a relatively short period of time. Dachshunds are energetic, independent, and resourceful, giving further indication of their intelligence. Additionally, they have an excellent memory and problem-solving skills, so once they have learned something they don't easily forget it.
