Questions & Answers
Dachshunds are a small-breed, short-legged, hound-like dogs that are easily recognizable by their long body and short legs. Classified as a member of the hound group, Dachshunds were originally bred in Germany to utilize their scenting abilities for hunting badgers and other small game. Although their physical characteristics can vary, you can generally expect Dachshunds to have a deep bark, independent nature, and a devoted and loving personality on display for their family.
Dachshunds do not typically cause people to have allergies. Every individual is different, and some may be more sensitive to the breed than others. That being said, compared to other canine breeds, Dachshunds are relatively hypoallergenic, and their coats are short and smooth, decreasing the chances of triggering allergies in people. It is unlikely that owning a Dachshund would cause you to have an allergic reaction; however, as a precaution, we suggest consulting an allergist if you are particularly sensitive to pet dander.
For Dachshunds, the best dog food comes down to nutritional needs. Most are considered small breed dogs that need specialized, higher calorie, food options with certain levels of protein, carbohydrates, and fat. Look for recipes with fewer ingredients that don't include fillers, as well as the recommended grain-free formulas. Your pup's age should also be taken into account to make sure they're getting the correct level of vitamins and minerals.
While Dachshunds can generally adapt well to many lifestyles, they do have some breed-specific requirements. For one, they need a moderate amount of exercise to stay healthy, and if left alone for long periods of time will become bored and destructive. They also need regular grooming sessions to keep their long coat in tip-top condition. It's also important to give your Dachshund regular obedience training in order to prevent any unwanted behaviors (barking, digging, etc.).
Dachshunds vary in size, depending on their breed, with standard Dachshunds usually weighing 16-32 pounds and miniature Dachshunds weighing 11 pounds or less. Generally, adult Dachshunds grow to be about 8-9 inches tall and longer in body than they are tall. Males tend to be slightly larger and heavier than females, but both genders have the same compactly built body with short legs. As far as height, the range is typically anywhere between 5-9 inches for a Dachshund.
Not all Dachshunds enjoy swimming, but some do. Every pup has their own preferences and tolerance for different activities, so it's important to observe behaviors and take cues from your pet. Even if your Dachshund isn't a fan of the pool,,there are plenty of other water-based activities they can enjoy such as playing with water toys or splashing around in a kiddy pool.
Absolutely, Dachshunds make excellent family pets. Intelligent and loyal, they enjoy spending time with their human companions, getting along famously with children. They don't require too much space, making them especially suitable for living in apartments. They can also be quite energetic, so your family will definitely not be bored when you have a Dachshund at home. Named for their hunting prowess, Dachshunds are determined and persistent when it comes to chasing toys and small prey. With their keen sense of hearing, they make great guard dogs.
Training a dachshund should begin when they are puppies to ensure they learn all the rules and expectations of your household. Create a routine tailored to your pup that consists of regular potty breaks, basic obedience training, plenty of mental and physical exercise, and plenty of devoted and positive reinforcement whenever your pup follows commands. It is also important to learn the breed’s personality and temperaments to adjust your training style accordingly. You may find that different methods may work better with your dachshund rather than sticking strictly to one style.
