Questions & Answers
Dachshunds are truly unique and interesting dogs. They are known for their long, low-to-the-ground body and short legs which make them perfect for hunting badgers and other small animals. They have a strong prey drive so they do best in active homes and mastered obedience classes to keep their focus. They are active and curious, preferring to investigate every nook and cranny of your house and backyard. They can be brave and determined when needed, but they also have a cuddly side.
Dachshunds are not considered to be hypoallergenic. They do lend themselves to triggering allergies as they are a breed with a thick, double coat that is naturally oily. This oily coat helps the breed retain moisture and stay warm throughout the year, but it can also work against owners who have allergies. Typically, it isn't the actual hair that people are allergic to, but the dander, saliva, and/or urine which is found within the dog's oil glands.
Yes, Dachshunds do have special dietary needs. Just like any breed, they have unique nutritional requirements based on their size, age and activity level. Generally, their diet should contain a mix of lean proteins, complex carbohydrates and healthy fats to meet their daily caloric and vitamin needs. They should also have access to plenty of fresh, clean water to stay hydrated. It's important to avoid overfeeding and giving them too many treats, as they have a tendency to put on extra weight.
Dachshunds have a few special requirements that should be taken into consideration when owning one. They need a lot of exercise and playtime to stay healthy and happy. Grooming is an important aspect as well and needs to be done regularly; their coats should be brushed a few times a week to avoid tangles or mats. Their ears should also be checked and cleaned regularly to prevent infections. Additionally, their toenails should be clipped regularly, as long nails can make it painful for them to walk.
The size of your Dachshund puppy will depend on its breed since there are a few different kinds. Generally, Miniature Dachshunds are smaller and weigh around 11 pounds, whereas the Standard Dachshunds weigh an average of 16 to 32 pounds. Some Dachshunds can be quite a bit bigger, while some are a bit smaller. Typically, puppies will double their birth weight by seven weeks, and grow most of the time at a steady pace.
Although not all Dachshunds may be inclined to take a dip in the water, many do appreciate getting the opportunity to swim. The sport can benefit them in a variety of ways, and some Dachshunds end up growing to enjoy the activity with time. Swimming gives them exercise without damaging their spines, which are delicate due to their long bodies. It can also help to cool them off in the summertime or if they tend to be on the hotter side.
Dachshunds can make wonderful family pets, and they can be great with children. They tend to be gentle, affectionate and playful, though some can be more excitable and domineering. As with any dog, proper and regular socialization is crucial when bringing a Dachshund into a home with youngsters. Spending time with the pup every day, and teaching children how to calmly and securely interact with the dog will help create a wonderful bond.
Dachshunds are widely considered to be quite intelligent dogs. They have an innate ability to recognize their owner's needs and to respond appropriately, demonstrating their ability to learn from instruction and experience. They thrive on human companionship, preferring to spend time with their owners, and they often learn commands quickly. Dachshunds excel in agility when kept active, have a good memory for training, and are quite adept at problem solving all indications of an intelligent breed.
