Questions & Answers
A Dachshund is a breed of dog that comes in two sizes: standard and miniature. It is a short-legged, long-bodied breed of hound that was originally bred in Germany. Sometimes called the 'sausage dog', the Dachshund's body shape makes it a great breed for burrowing and hunting small animals. This breed is usually very friendly and makes a great companion and pet. Dachshunds have a wide variety of colors and patterns, and come in several different coat types. They are relatively low maintenance and are typically quite easy to train.
Dachshunds are not considered to be hypoallergenic. This means that these dogs usually produce some degree of allergens, which can trigger allergic reactions in individuals sensitive to pet dander. People who are prone to allergies should take extra caution when considering a Dachshund as a pet. However, dogs may vary in the amount of allergens they produce, so it's important to research when selecting a pup to find one with minimal shedding and dander. Additionally, regular brushing and regular bathing can help reduce allergens produced by the Dachshund's fur.
Dachshunds should not be fed human food such as chocolate, grapes, raisins, macadamia nuts, alcohol, onions, garlic, and anything with Xylitol in it (a sugar substitute). Additionally, any raw or undercooked meats, dairy products, deli meats, and eggs should be avoided. Dachshunds have small stomachs that can easily become bloated with certain foods. As a result, it is important to always check with a veterinarian to make sure a food is safe for a Dachshund before feeding it.
Yes, Dachshunds have a few special requirements. They need to be groomed regularly with brushing, nail trims and regular baths. Dachshunds can also have blockages in their digestive system, so monitoring their diet and exercise levels is important. In addition, they are prone to lower back problems due to their long, low stature, so good exercise is important to keep them from becoming overweight and to protect their sensitive backs. Finally, they are active dogs and need mental and physical stimulation such as walks and active games to stay both physically and mentally healthy.
The size of your Dachshund puppy is highly dependent upon its breed. Dachshunds come in three varieties Standard, Miniature, and Kaninchen (also known as Rabbit) and these varieties can range in size up to 24 inches tall and 24 lbs in the Standard breed. Miniature Dachshunds typically weigh 11 lbs or less, while the Kaninchen breed may be even smaller, usually no larger than 4 lbs. Therefore, the size of your puppy will largely depend on which variety you have chosen.
Yes, Dachshunds are highly active dogs that need lots of exercise. They love to run and play, and any opportunity to do so should be seized. Dachshunds are outgoing, independent, and adventurous, seeking out different types of stimulation. Regular activities and walks are the best way to keep them happy and healthy, helping to release excess energy as well as provide an opportunity to strengthen muscles and increase agility. In order to stay physically and mentally sound, Dachshunds should be provided ample opportunity to explore and romp, both indoors and outdoors.
Dachshunds are highly intelligent and loyal, making them a great option as family pets. Their small size is convenient for owners with limited space and these playful little dogs are sure to bring a smile to your face. They have a famously even temper and are known for being quite affectionate and easily trained, which makes them enjoyable to live with. Dachshunds are curious and can be quite determined when it comes to getting what they want, so it is important to provide them with attention and a consistent routine to help keep them content and in good behavior.
Absolutely! Dachshunds have brains full of intelligence, making them incredibly smart. They are alert and inquisitive, which allows them to rapidly learn new skills and commands. Dachshunds have great memories, so they may even surprise you by remembering commands from a long time ago. A dachshund's curiosity also helps them think through new problems and puzzles to develop solutions — these canines are not afraid to think for themselves! Their intelligence also makes dachshunds quick to learn tricks or other behaviors, even some that may be more complicated.
