Questions & Answers
Dachshunds are one of the most beloved dog breeds known for their entertainig personalities. Not only are they loyal, loving and devoted to their owners, but they are also a bundle of fun facts! For example, Dachshunds can sprint up to five miles per hour and can be trained to fetch items like keys or wallets. Additionally, Dachshunds were originally bred to hunt badgers, and have been around since the 15th century.
Dachshunds are not hypoallergenic dogs. While there are some breeds that may produce fewer allergens than others, no dog is completely free of allergens. The dander, saliva, and urine of any dog may produce an allergic reaction in someone with a sensitivity to them. It is important to note, however, that most people who suffer from allergies caused by dogs can usually tolerate dogs from the dachshund breed. This is because the dachshund's coat is shorter and has less fur than many other breeds.
Dachshunds should not be given a diet rich in fat as it can lead to obesity, digestive issues and joint problems for the breed. Additionally, dogs of this breed are prone to bloating, so any food that is not part of a balanced, canine-approved diet should be avoided. Chocolate is a significant risk as it can be poisonous to them, and grapes and raisins can also be dangerous. Onions, garlic, and eschalots are also dangerous to Dachshunds because they all contain a compound which can damage canine red blood cells.
Before bringing a Dachshund into your home, you should invest in some essential items. First and foremost, you should get a crate or kennel large enough for your Dachshund to comfortably lay down, stand up, and turn around in. Additionally, it is important to invest in a leash and collar for your pooch. You should also ensure that you have dog food, food and water bowls, potty pads, and toys appropriate for your Dachshund's size and breed.
Dachshunds are usually categorized as small dogs however, they seem to come in different sizes. Depending on the size of your Dachshund, they can either be considered a small or medium-sized dog. Full grown, Standard Dachshunds usually weigh 16 to 32 pounds and generally measure 8 to 9 inches tall at the shoulder.
Dachshunds are active dogs that need an adequate amount of exercise to maintain physical and mental wellbeing. Generally speaking, they should have enough activity to work off their excess energy and to keep their minds active and healthy, with daily walks, playtime, and activities like running in an enclosed area as well as interactive games, such as tug-of-war and fetch. To ensure that your Dachshund is getting the proper exercise, it is recommended that they receive 30 to 45 minutes of exercise per weekday, and at least one hour of exercise per day during weekends.
Dachshunds can certainly get along with other pets, although it is important to note that each Dachshund’s personality and temperament can vary. It is best to introduce them to other pets gradually, ensuring that the Dachshund is comfortable and that the other pet is not hostile or aggressive. With proper socialization from an early age, many Dachshunds can develop strong friendships with other animals. Good communication and strong boundaries set by the owner can help even the most independent Dachshunds learn to share their living space with other animals.
Training a Dachshund does require some effort, but it can be an incredibly rewarding experience. These intelligent and loyal dogs can be taught a variety of commands and behaviors. With positive reinforcement and consistency, Dachshunds can learn basic commands, including sit, stay, and come. Additionally, Dachshunds are also highly receptive to house training, so owners should be prepared to dedicate some time and patience to properly train their pet. Depending on your own commitment and dedication, training your Dachshund may be easy or more challenging.
