Questions & Answers
Dachshunds are a small breed of dog classified as hounds. They are also referred to as wiener dogs or sausage dogs as their elongated body resembles a hotdog bun. They were originally bred to hunt badgers several hundred years ago and have been popularized as companion animals since then. Dachshunds have short legs and can be smooth-haired, wire-haired, or long-haired. They have large noses, large floppy ears, and distinctive curved tails.
Whether or not Dachshunds will cause you to have allergies depends largely on the individual. Allergies are caused by a hypersensitivity to allergens, such as dander, which is found in the fur of all dogs including Dachshunds. If you already know you have allergies, or have suffered from allergies in the past, it is possible that you may experience an allergic reaction when coming into contact with a Dachshund. However, if you have no history of allergic reactions then the chances are that you will not have an allergic reaction when exposed to the breed.
Dachshunds should not be fed chocolate, grapes, or raisins, which can be toxic to this breed. They can also be sensitive to certain food items, so owners should be wary of foods high in fat or salt. It's best to stick to pet-friendly treats, approved dog foods, and natural human food such as cooked meats, fruits, and vegetables. Onions and garlic, as well as dishes using garlic or onion powder, can also be toxic to a Dachshund, so these materials should be avoided as well.
It is important to properly prepare for a new Dachshund in order to ensure that your pup feels safe and content in its new home. Begin by researching various breeds, their temperaments, and energy levels, as this will help you to make an informed decision about which type and size of dog is right for your lifestyle. Make sure you have all the necessary supplies on hand like a dog bed, bowls, and toys. Also consider enrolling your Dachshund in a dog training class this will help you to build a strong bond with your pup and teach them how to behave.
Dachshunds may be small in statue but they are oftentimes considered big dogs because of their spunky personality, alert nature, and energy level. They're renowned as determined and persistent hunters and loyal and loving companions. Potentially, size-wise they can actually range from small to large. Standard Dachshunds tend to be slightly larger, the mini version being smaller and the Kaninchen (rabbit) being the smallest of the three sizes.
It is possible to take your Dachshund running, however, it would be wise to consult with your veterinarian about your pup's individual activity levels first. While exercising is beneficial for not only physical health but also mental health, it is important to ensure that the type of exercise is appropriate for your Dachshund given their breed. Due to their short legs, they are more prone to over-extending so running must be properly monitored.
Dachshunds can do well with children as long as they are well socialized and have plenty of positive interactions with kids while they are young. Dachshunds are friendly, loyal, and highly affectionate breeds, which makes them great companions. As long as children are taught to respect the dog and take time to interact in an appropriate way, relationships between kids and Dachshunds can work out really well.
The amount of time you need to dedicate to training your Dachshund will depend on a number of factors, such as the age, prior learning experience, and type of specific behaviors you would like to teach your pup. Generally speaking, you should plan to spend about 15-20 minutes per day, 2-4 days a week, on reinforcing positive behavior. This should include a combination of basic obedience exercises like sit, stay, and down, as well as, trick training and activity based learning. Brisk walks are also a great way to exercise their minds and bodies.
