Questions & Answers
A Dachshund is a long, low-bodied dog with short legs and a long body,with a typically long and slightly curved tail. Dachshunds come in two sizes: Standard and Miniature-sized. They also come in various coat lengths and colors. The personality of a Dachshund is often described as bold, courageous, and devoted; however, Dachshunds are often suspicious towards strangers. With their inquisitive and social character, they make great family companions.
Dachshunds are not considered a hypoallergenic breed. Generally, breeds with short coats typically produce less dander, the particles that cause allergic reactions, than breeds with long coats. Dachshunds typically have short or medium length coats, but they do still shed, meaning they can produce dander and therefore may not be suitable for someone with allergies. It is always best to meet a Dachshund in person to see if their shedding or dander will be an issue, as there are significant individual differences.
To ensure your Dachshund is healthy and happy, a high-quality diet is essential. You should look for food specifically formulated for small breeds like Dachshunds with a balanced combination of proteins, fats, carbohydrates, vitamins, and minerals. Protein should be the main source in the food, with fats providing essential fatty acids. Quality carbohydrates, such as whole grains, provide increased energy and fiber. Vitamins and minerals should also be included in the food to ensure your pet gets the essential nutrition they need.
Dachshunds have some special requirements, but they do not necessarily require more care than the average dog. These special needs are mainly related to their small size and long back, which is more prone to injury and other issues than other breeds. Dachshunds need regular exercise, such as walks, but they should not be made to jump or run up and down steps. Also, due to their long back, it is important to make sure they don't overexert themselves when playing and exercising.
Dachshunds generally range in size from 8-9 inches at the shoulder for the miniature variety, up to 16 inches for the standard. Depending on their breeding, they can come in either a short-haired variety or a long-haired variety. Generally, miniature dachshunds do not exceed 16 pounds, and standard dachshunds between 16-32 pounds. Although their size varies greatly between types, all dachshunds possess a distinctively long body, shorter legs, and droopy ears.
Dachshunds can be wonderful swimmers and can enjoy the water if they get the right kind of encouragement. Generally speaking, most Dachshunds would not be naturally drawn to water activities. However, they can learn to love swimming if the right training methods are used and they get to play in the water at a comfortable temperature. Many owners have found that teaching their Dachshunds to swim can be beneficial, both in terms of exercise and as an activity for bonding time with the owners.
Generally, yes, Dachshunds make wonderful family pets. Fiercely loyal and intelligent, these pups have long been a favorite companion animal. Bred for hunting, Dachshunds possess the natural personality traits associated with working dogs such as a keen alertness and an eagerness to please. They are also very friendly and sociable, oftentimes happy to spend the day playing and socializing with their families. A Dachshund's size -typically just a few pounds -makes them perfect for active older children who are able to handle their activity level.
Yes, Dachshunds are intelligent and resourceful breeds that are both easy to train and notoriously loyal. They've been around since the 15th century and are known for their intelligence and problem solving skills. The breed is thought to have descended from the terriers and brakene mastiffs which means they are predisposed to a high aptitude for problem solving. Dachshunds are the masters of manipulating their humans to get what they want and they are often clever enough to get it without training.
