Questions & Answers
Dachshunds are a fascinating breed of dog with a unique history. Dating back centuries, they were bred in Germany to hunt badgers and other small game, giving them their formidable characteristics and a strong burrowing instinct. Their signature long body shape and short legs have made them favorites in the dog world, with fans around the globe. They are among the most devoted and loyal companions, with a wonderful sense of humor and an alertness that rivals much larger breeds. They are also quite adaptable, making them excellent apartment dwellers as well as out-and-about types.
Whether or not Dachshunds can cause allergies will depend on your individual sensitivities. Allergies are caused by exposure to pet fur, dander, and saliva, which all breeds of dog have. If you are allergic to pet dander, it is possible that Dachshunds may cause an allergy reaction. However, if you have never been exposed to a dog before, or don’t think that you have pet allergies, it is possible that you may have no such reaction.
Dachshunds should not be given foods like avocado, chocolate, macadamia nuts, grapes, and raisins as these can be harmful and potentially toxic to them. Other foods to avoid include spicy or fatty foods, cooked bones, raw eggs, onions, garlic, and yeast dough. Always feed your dog high-quality, age-appropriate and nutritionally balanced dog food and treats. If you want to give your dachshund people food as a treat, then small amounts of lean meats, vegetables, and fruits are better options.
Preparing for a new Dachshund requires some planning and organization. First, make sure that you have all the essential items to ensure your pup's overall health and wellbeing such as food, water dishes, toys, a bed, and cleaning supplies. Additionally, enrolling in a puppy class to learn basic commands, purchasing the necessary health care such as flea and heartworm medication, and researching the breed standard and common health issues are all great activities for a prospective pet owner.
Dachshunds are considered small to medium sized dogs, and generally weigh between 16 and 32 pounds. They are often referred to as a large breed in a small dog's body because of their long, stout build. While compared to other small breeds, the Dachshund is considered big, in comparison to larger breeds like German Shepherds, they are relatively small. It's important to remember that size is relative and can vary even within the Dachshund breed, with some Dachshunds being smaller than average and others larger.
Based on your Dachshund's individual needs, it is recommended they get at least 30 minutes of physical activity every day. However, if your Dachshund has more energy and needs to burn it off, you may need to adjust their walking time. Make sure to always consult your veterinarian before adding additional walking minutes to your pup's daily routine. It's important to remember that walking your pup is only part of the equation! During their walking time, be sure to provide mental stimulation as well by setting up games or increasing their interaction with other doggies.
Dachshunds can generally get along with other pets if properly socialized. Early socialization with other pets can help them to grow up accustomed to a variety of animals. It's vital to keep a close eye on your dachshunds interactions with other furry family members to ensure that everyone remains comfortable. If properly introduced and monitored, dachshunds can be good companions with other pets. They have a natural instinct to protect and remain loyal to their human family, so it can also be important to ensure the other pets are respectful to their owners too.
Yes, Dachshunds are smart and loyal dogs. They are capable of learning commands quickly and easily, and often prove to be quick learners. They develop strong bonds with their owners, and are typically eager to please. With proper training, a Dachshund can be taught to recognize a variety of commands, as well as tricks. They are highly alert and responsive to both verbal and non-verbal signals, often outsmarting their masters. Given the opportunity, Dachshunds can make great family pets, as they enjoy being around people.
