Questions & Answers
Dachshunds have a fascinating history and are known for their unique appearance and personality. Bred from hunting hounds, they are well known for their long bodies and short legs. Their name is German and translates to 'badger hound', or 'dachs' meaning badger and 'hund' meaning hound. Never too small or too big, Dachshunds were made to fit into badger dens to flush out their prey, and are remarkably learned and resourceful.
Although Dachshunds technically do not meet the strict definition of being considered a hypoallergenic breed of dog, there are some factors to consider that may make them a better choice for certain people with allergies. Dachshunds shed relatively little compared to other dog breeds, producing lower amounts of allergens as a result. They also require minimal to no professional grooming, which may help to keep their dander in check.
Yes, Dachshunds do have special dietary needs. Although they may enjoy a variety of food, it is important to respect their nutritional requirements. Dachshunds have a tendency to be susceptible to obesity, which is why it is important to give them a balanced diet. Their feed needs to be high-quality and specially formulated for this breed. Plenty of protein should be provided to facilitate muscle development. They may also need reduced levels of fat and carbohydrates if they are considered to be overweight.
Before getting a Dachshund, you should make sure you buy the essentials they need. Some of these items include stainless steel food and water bowls, a mattress or cushion-style bed, chew-resistant toys, nail clippers, and a collar or harness that fits correctly. Additionally, you'll need treats and food, a sturdy leash, and a brush. It's also important to ensure you have veterinary care set up in advance with an experienced veterinarian who understands the intricacies of caring for a Dachshund.
Dachshunds come in two sizes. The standard size Dachshund can weigh up to 32 pounds and be as long as 16 inches from the shoulder; miniature Dachshunds, on the other hand, typically weigh 11 pounds or less and are 8-11 inches in length. While some breeders also recognize tiny, teacup-sized Dachshunds, as well as a few other uncommon size variations, the two sizes listed above are the only ones officially recognized by the American Kennel Club.
Dachshunds need a moderate amount of exercise to stay healthy and happy. They are a relatively low-energy breed, so they don't require an excessive amount of physical activity a 15-20 minute daily walk should suffice. In addition, they enjoy engaging in activities like fetch or tug-of-war, so it can be useful to dedicate some time each day to those types of activity too. They also need plenty of mental stimulation, so games like hide-and-seek or puzzle toys can be beneficial.
Generally speaking, Dachshunds can get along peacefully with other animals in the household, though the level of compatibility depends on many factors such as personality, socialization level, and age. These sausages are often especially fond of other dogs, and can usually tolerate cats, though it is important to introduce them slowly and cautiously. Interactions with larger animals such as horses or livestock may vary; many Doxies can be comfortable around them. Socialization is key to improving the chances of a successful relationship with other pets within the home.
Training a Dachshund can be a rewarding experience, but it isn't necessarily an easy process. Many owners find that these dogs need patience and consistency in order to learn new behaviors, and they have a tendency to get distracted easily. These dogs love to please, but need positive reinforcement and if they don't perceive the task as fun, it can be difficult to get them to comply. With patience and a regular routine, however, training can become easier and the Dachshund can learn to respond to commands.
