Questions & Answers
Dachshunds are a truly unique breed! Not only are they loyal and cuddly companions, they have a long, storied history going back centuries. As the foxhunting dogs favored by German nobility, they had longer noses and ears than most small hunting dogs, necessary for tracking the scents of their quarry. Perhaps their most notable physical characteristic is their short legs, which allow them to follow rabbits into their burrows and flush them out for the hunter. Their long, low bodies also make it so they can maneuver through tight spaces better than most dog breeds.
Dachshunds are not hypoallergenic breeds. This is because all dogs, regardless of breed, produce a protein (dander) in their skin that can cause allergic reactions in humans. There are breeds that traditionally shed less than others, which may be better suited for those with allergies, but unfortunately, the Dachshund is not one of those breeds.
Yes, Dachshunds generally do have some special dietary needs that owners should be aware of. Dachshunds are prone to obesity so owners should be aware of their pup's daily caloric intake. Additionally, Dachshunds can have an intolerance to certain types of food, so owners should be cautious when introducing new food items into their diet and monitor for side effects. It is important to keep in mind that, when selecting food for a Dachshund, the primary ingredient should be something that provides whole nutrition, such as fresh or freeze-dried meats.
Preparing for a new Dachshund can be a rewarding and exciting experience. It's important to start by doing research and learning as much as possible about this breed so you can understand their needs and behavior. Next, plan your budget for the food, treats, toys, bedding, and any other products you will need to provide for your pet. Once you have the products, you should create an exercise and feeding schedule for your animal.
Yes, Dachshunds are generally classified as small dogs. Due to their elongated and low-slung bodies, this breed has often been referred to as "the hot dog," "the Weiner dog," or "the sausage dog." Breeding for their distinct body type means that these dogs rarely exceed 11 pounds in weight and can stand as low as 8 inches tall at the shoulders. Despite their small size, Dachshunds have a loyal following.
Dachshunds are certainly an active breed of dog that loves to move around and explore the environment. They are friendly and curious and often have a zest for life. They require plenty of physical as well as mental stimulation to keep them content. Daily walks should be a part of their routine in order for them to get the activity they need to maintain healthy weight, boost their mood, and explore their surroundings. These clever and curious dogs also benefit from playtime, which provides exercise, mental (and physical) stimulation, and allows them to bond with their owner.
Dachshunds are generally considered to be quite good for first time owners, but there are some things to consider. First and foremost, they do have a lot of energy and require a fair amount of activity time and exercise. They can also be prone to digging, barking, and chewing if they get bored. Additionally, they can sometimes be quite stubborn and require consistent and continued training to ensure that they stay well-behaved.
Dachshunds, while being an intelligent breed, require consistent training to ensure a healthy and happy pet. The best way to approach training is to start slowly and focus on one task at a time. Start by mastering the basic commands such as "sit", "down" and "come". Positive reinforcement is key providing treats or verbal praise for correct behaviors will help build relationships and trust. Additionally, socialization with other animals and people is important to ensure your Dachshund is comfortable in different environments.
