Questions & Answers
Dachshunds have a long history. They originated in Germany centuries ago, but weren't bred for their small size until roughly the 1800s. Today, Dachshunds are one of the most beloved pet breeds around the world. Fun facts about Dachshunds include that they are incredibly brave, despite their small size, and also have an incredibly keen sense of smell.
Dachshunds do not inherently cause allergies. However, like any other animal with fur, dander, and saliva, they can trigger allergic reactions in some individuals. Everyone is unique when it comes to allergies, and the level of severity ranges greatly from person to person. If you're concerned about triggering your allergies, you can consult your doctor or allergist to get a better understanding. Allergy testing is recommended if you're considering adding a dachshund to your household.
Dachshunds should not be fed table scraps, foods that are high in fat, raw or undercooked meats, poultry with bones, chocolate, alcoholic beverages, grapes, raisins, onions or garlic, or any type of food that may contain toxins. In addition, Dachshunds should never be given bones as they can easily splinter and potentially cause an intestinal blockage. It is also important to make sure that fresh, clean water is provided for Dachshunds at all times to keep them adequately hydrated.
Yes, Dachshunds require special attention. They are a unique breed with their own special needs. Depending on the variety of the breed, they may need more exercise than other breeds and will need to have their nails clipped regularly. As they are a smaller breed, they may also require a softer surface to sleep on to protect their bones. Additionally, their floppy ears require regular cleaning to help prevent an ear infection. It's important to brush your Dachshunds' coat regularly to ensure overall good health and to prevent shedding.
Yes, Dachshunds are generally considered to be small dogs, typically weighing 16-32 pounds and standing up to 8-9 inches tall when fully grown. Although there are three different types (standard, miniature, or kaninchen) all varieties are relatively petite when compared to other breeds, and possess a longer body and short legs. Due to their size, Dachshunds require minimal exercise as compared to larger canines and they are a popular choice for those living in apartments or other dwellings where space may be limited.
Absolutely! Depending on the age and health of your Dachshund, it is possible to take them running. That being said, if your pup is of advanced age, you may want to consult with your veterinarian to be sure they can handle it before heading out for a run. If they get the okay from your vet, the key is to start slow and gradually build up to longer distances. Avoid running on surfaces that are too hot, as this can increase the risk of heat exhaustion for your pup.
Dachshunds are usually quite friendly and can get along well with kids. In saying this, a Dachshund's trust has to be earned as they are such small dogs and can be scared of loud noises and bigger movements made by children. If parents take the time to train and socialize their Dachshund and slowly introduce them to kids, they should have a good bond. It is important to teach children to be gentle with their furry friend as they are too small to withstand too much punishment.
Dachshunds are indeed considered to be very intelligent dogs, as well as being lively and spirited. They have a strong ability to learn commands and are often eager to please their owners. Thanks to this, they are easy to train and excel in obedience classes. They are also natural problem solvers and can typically find creative solutions to tasks. Thanks to their intelligence, they excel in activities that require problem-solving skills as well as agility and obedience, making them a great choice for owners looking for a dog with a smart mind.
