Questions & Answers
A Dachshund is a small, long-bodied, short-legged breed of dog of the hound family. They were originally bred to hunt badgers and are recognizable for their unique shape, friendly and energetic personalities, and short coat of colors like black and tan, reddish brown, or chocolate brown. Dachshunds come in two sizes, Standard and Miniature, and can have either short or long hair. All Dachshunds are energetic and intelligent, and they love to investigate their surroundings.
It is not necessarily true that owning a Dachshund will cause allergies. Allergies vary from person to person, and it is possible that some individuals are more sensitive to certain dog breeds than others. In addition, allergies can be caused by anything the dog may be carrying on its fur or skin such as pollen, dust mites, and dander, so it's important to consider all aspects of a Dachshund's life. If you are concerned about developing allergies, brushing your Dachshund regularly to remove loose hair and dirt can help minimize potential allergy triggers.
Dachshunds typically need high-quality, specifically-designed dog food that is specially-formulated for their unique needs. It is important to choose a food that contains a mix of proteins, healthy fats, vitamins, minerals and other nutrients that will suit the health and well-being of your dog. Premium brands that are scientifically-formulated for small and miniature breeds are an ideal choice to ensure that your dog gets the proper nutrition. Look for a dog food that does not contain preservatives, additives, gluten, soy, and other fillers.
Generally speaking, Dachshunds require the same basic care as most other small breed dogs. However, they are a fairly unique breed in some regards and have several special needs that potential owners should be aware of. Dachshunds are particularly prone to slipping discs in their spines, making exercise and daily activities like stairs or jumping inadvisable. They may also require additional grooming to keep their skin and coat healthy and their ears in check. Dachshunds are also prone to obesity, so maintaining a healthy diet and weight can be essential.
Dachshunds are considered a small-sized dog breed, and they typically grow to be around 8 to 9 inches tall at the shoulder, and weigh anywhere from 16 to 32 pounds. Their size can vary depending on their specific type, with standard Dachshunds typically being larger than miniature or toy Dachshunds. Generally, a full-grown Dachshund can range anywhere from 8 to 15 inches in length, and can weigh from 16 to 32 pounds.
It is recommended that Dachshunds receive between 30 and 60 minutes of exercise each day. It is important to tailor the length of the walk to the individual dog's needs and energy levels. Generally, a brisk walk for 30 minutes is optimal for most Dachshunds –some may even require a longer walk of up to 60 minutes to stay fit and healthy. Regular daily walks are necessary for a Dachshund to remain happy and healthy, and can help to reduce their potential for behavioral issues and provide numerous health benefits.
Yes, Dachshunds can be a great option for first-time owners. Dachshunds are loyal, fun-loving dogs that enjoy being close to their families. They are also known for being brave and intelligent, making them easy to train. Due to their relatively small size, Dachshunds also make good house dogs. They are relatively easy on space and don't require a large backyard or other outdoor space. On the other hand, their small size can also mean they can be more difficult to house-train than larger dogs.
Dachshunds have a history and reputation of being loyal and loving family companions, but they are also known to be quite smart. These pooches have proven their intelligence time and time again by successfully completing obedience courses and mastering tricks, and even being able to differentiate between familiar and unfamiliar people, noises, and smells. They are able to learn simple commands such as sit and stay quite quickly. They are even adept problem-solvers and can understand their owners and their needs.
