Questions & Answers
Dachshunds are a unique breed of small dog known for their long, low-to-the-ground body and bouncy gait. Fun facts about the breed include that they are the oldest breed of scent hound still in existence today, and were bred in Germany centuries ago to hunt badgers. Dachshunds make for excellent watchdogs, as they are known for their alertness and their willingness to bark at the slightest news. Socialization is key to a happy, well-adjusted Dachshund.
While it is possible that a Dachshund may cause allergies, the breed itself is not more likely to aggravate allergies beyond any other dog breed. In most cases, allergies to pets are caused by proteins in their skin, saliva, and/or urine. Alternatively, other allergens, such as pollen and mold, could be causing the reaction, not a particular breed of dog. It's best to consult an allergist or doctor if you are concerned about allergies from your Dachshund.
Dachshunds should not be fed chocolate, as it can cause seizures and other health problems due to theobromine toxicity. Foods that are high in fat should also be avoided, as these can lead to pancreatitis and obesity, which can affect a Dachshund's ability to move around due to their small size. Onions, garlic, and other human foods with high sodium should also be avoided, as these can cause anemia in these dogs.
Yes, Dachshunds do have certain special needs that make them rather unique as a breed. They should not be exercised in excessive amounts, as their backs and legs are not intended for extended periods of activity. They also should not be overfed, as this can also lead to joint problems common among Doxies. It is also important for Dachshunds to have designated potty areas, as the breed is known for developing "accidents" if not given a proper routine. A designated play area as well as plenty of toys to satisfy their playful nature is also recommended.
There is no specific answer to this question as the ultimate size of your Dachshund puppy will depend on several factors, such as its parents' size, genetics and health. Generally speaking, a Dachshund will reach an adult weight of between 16 and 32 pounds and can have a maximum height between 8 and 9 inches. While size can vary greatly depending on the individual dog, most Dachshunds will end up somewhere in the middle of those size ranges.
Yes, Dachshunds are active dogs. These dogs, sometimes known as "Sausage Dogs," have a strong prey drive and won't hesitate to give chase if they find something that captures their attention. They love going on walks, playing with squeaky toys, and even chasing after balls. Dachshunds are known for being particularly alert and playful, making them excellent watchdogs. They're also intelligent and trainable, so you can teach them some basic commands like "sit" and "stay".
