Questions & Answers
One of the most interesting aspects of Dachshunds is their curious and resilient personality and spirit. These small dogs have a big attitude, which is why they make such great companions. Dachshunds are very intelligent and energetic, and they love to explore the world through their own unique perspectives. Those with this breed are sure to be entertained by their antics and entertained by their tenaciousness in life. Dachshunds have an incredible sense of smell and are often used for hunting in many parts of the world.
Generally, Dachshunds are not considered to be hypoallergenic breeds. This means that they do not possess an allergy-friendly coat or produce a limited amount of dander, like some other breeds may do. That being said, there are always deviations from the norm, and it's possible to find individual Dachshunds that may be less likely to cause allergies or trigger allergic reactions in certain individuals.
Dachshunds should not be fed certain table scraps, fatty meats, bones, chocolates, rawhide, or food with high sugar content. These foods can have a negative impact on a dog's health. It's best to stick to a specific high-quality diet that is designed specifically for dachshunds. An experienced veterinarian can provide advice on the best food for your dachshund and should be consulted before changing dietary habits. Small treats are ok, but overall should not exceed 10% of their daily intake.
Becoming the best puppy parent for your Dachshund requires commitment, patience, and dedication. Doing your research and learning all you can about the breed is a great starting point. To start, understand the breed's characteristics, needs, and expected life span so you can prepare for these characteristics as your puppy grows and matures. Spend time continuing to socialize your pup, introduce them to new people and experiences, and give them plenty of positive reinforcement.
Dachshunds may be considered small dogs considering that they are typically about the same size as a Jack Russel Terrier which is classified as a small breed. These dogs have short legs and long bodies, similar to a Bassett Hound, they usually weigh between 16-32 pounds. Generally, Dachshunds are categorized as small dogs due to their size and their short legs. It is important to note that the three types of Dachshunds that exist are categorized differently.
A general recommendation for Dachshunds is at least 30 minutes of physical activity per day. Longer and/or more frequent walks can be beneficial for your pup in terms of both physical and mental exercise. Depending on the age, size, and energy level of your Dachshund, it may be beneficial to spread out the 30 minutes into shorter walks more frequently throughout the day. However, if your pup has a lot of energy, a single 30-minute walk every day may be the best option.
Generally speaking, Dachshunds get along well with kids, particularly if they’re socialized with them from an early age and taught to respect boundaries. The breed is friendly and affectionate with all age groups and can develop deep, lasting bonds. In large households, Dachshunds typically develop a “favorite” child but tend to get along with all family members. However, as with any dog, they must be faithfully trained to react in the most appropriate manner to different situations and people.
Dachshunds may not have the reputation of an especially smart breed, but they can certainly be very clever! These pups tend to be quite independent, yet they respond fairly well to obedience training. They also have a knack for problem-solving, so they can learn quickly if given proper guidance and reward. Dachshunds may not pick up on commands as swiftly as other breeds, but that doesn't mean they aren't as savvy. When it comes to traits like loyalty, prey drive, alertness, and affection, Dachshunds excel.
