Questions & Answers
Dachshunds are classified as a hound breed. This means they are part of the scent hound group. This group is known for possessing an excellent sense of smell and being dedicated hunters. Dachshunds have single or loped ears, long, slender legs and deep chests. They come in smooth-haired, wire-haired and long-haired varieties, in a variety of colors. The name "Dachshund" is German and literally means "badger hound".
Dachshunds are not hypoallergenic, meaning they do not have a reduced tendency to trigger allergies in those who are sensitive to pet dander. Though Dachshunds produce low levels of dander, people with allergies to pets should be aware that coming in contact with hair and saliva from a Dachshund may trigger an allergic response. Similarly, while allergens may be reduced due to regular grooming, people who are highly sensitive should take precaution.
Dachshunds are active dogs that require a balanced diet of premium dog food specifically for their size and age. An ideal choice for Dachshunds is a nutritionally complete formula that contains all the necessary vitamins and minerals to keep your pooch healthy. It's important to also look for a food that is quality-controlled and free from fillers and artificial ingredients. Wet food is often easier on their sensitive tummies, while kibble offers a daily serving to help your Dachshund maintain a healthy weight.
Dachshunds are an intelligent and active breed that require a great deal of attention and socialization. They need regular exercise and plenty of stimulating activities to stay healthy and remain emotionally balanced. Beyond these basic care requirements, Dachshunds also need their coats brushed and groomed regularly and their nails trimmed as necessary. As with any breed, they should be taken to the vet once a year for a check-up and vaccinations. Dachshunds can live up to 15 years, so proper health maintenance is essential.
The size of your Dachshund puppy will depend on its parentage. Generally, male Dachshunds range from 8 to 11 inches tall at the shoulder, while females range from 8 to 10 inches tall. Puppies typically weigh between 16 to 32 pounds as an adult, but weight can vary depending on the type and age of your pup. It is important to remember that puppies grow at different rates and are all unique, so there is no definitive answer to how big your Dachshund puppy will be.
While Dachshunds enjoy playing in water, not all of them are good swimmers. Some breeds may actually be scared of water and, therefore, avoid swimming altogether. The breed's short legs and long body can also make it difficult for them to do the doggy paddle. However, some Dachshunds may take to swimming if they were given the opportunity. If you would like to teach your Dachshund to swim, it's important to do so in a controlled environment and to supervise your pet at all times.
Yes, Dachshunds can get along with kids quite well. They are very intelligent, loyal, and affectionate dogs, who bond easily with their family. Generally, Dachshunds have a very gentle temperament and are patient with children, though it is important to supervise them and make sure your kids are treating the Dachshund with respect and kindness. With proper training and guidance, the Dachshund can be a wonderful companion for young ones.
Yes, Dachshunds are intelligent animals that can be trained to do a variety of tasks. They often learn commands quickly and are known for their mischievous and clever nature. Dachshunds are loyal and devoted to their owners, as well as being relatively low maintenance pets. With proper training and socialization, these dogs can be taught a variety of tasks such as how to behave around other animals, people, and in new surroundings. As a loyal and intelligent breed, Dachshunds have the potential to be excellent family pets.
