Questions & Answers
Dachshunds are an incredibly unique and interesting breed of dog. They are known for their small, elongated bodies and short legs, which are ideal for their original purpose of chasing badgers. In addition to their distinctive shape, Dachshunds also come in a variety of colors and patterns making them a perfect fit as a family pet. Another interesting fact is that they have been bred for generations to be one of the bravest and most loyal breeds of dogs. This makes them an ideal companion for protection.
Dachshunds are not considered hypoallergenic because they do shed, meaning they cannot be classified as hypoallergenic breeds. They do have short coats which makes their grooming simple, but the fact that they shed makes them difficult for those with allergies. Additionally, dachshunds have been known to have a higher likelihood of carrying the Felis d-2 allergen which further intensifies this issue.
Dachshunds tend to be a picky breed when it comes to food, though a well-balanced diet of dry kibble (high quality, preferably with real meat as the first ingredient) is a great place to start. While specific portion sizes and daily amounts vary based on your pup's age, size and activity level, Dachshunds should typically eat two small meals per day. You could look to supplement the kibble-base with wet food and/or home cooked meals.
Dachshunds generally need more time and affection than some of the other breeds of dogs. They do need regular, daily exercise to help reduce boredom and potential destructive tendencies. When living inside, they must be kept as part of the family and given plenty of attention. Exercise must also include walks every day and, if possible, access to an enclosed yard that allows the dog to explore in complete safety. Depending on the climate, persistent shivering, very short hair, and other evidence of coldness may indicate the need for a coat or blanket in outdoor cold weather.
Dachshunds generally range in size from 8 to 9 inches in height at the shoulder and can weigh anywhere between 16 and 32 pounds. They typically have short legs and long bodies, giving them a cute, sausage-shaped look. Depending on the variety, dachshunds may be slightly larger or smaller than the average size, but generally will stay within the 8-9 inch and 16-32 pound weight range. Generally speaking, these dogs do not grow extremely large, making this breed a great choice for those who live in small spaces or do not like oversized dogs.
Yes, Dachshunds are active dogs that love to run and play. In fact, this breed of dog was initially bred as a hunting dog. They were traditionally used for tracking small prey like badgers. Dachshunds are well-known for their strong legs, sharp senses and independent spirit. They are usually full of energy and curiosity, and they require plenty of physical activity, mental stimulation, and interaction with people to stay healthy and happy.
Dachshunds can absolutely get along with other pets, provided they are socialized correctly and introduced to other pets in a positive and controlled manner. Generally, Dachshunds are friendly dogs, but it's not uncommon for them to be reactive or standoffish with unfamiliar animals if they haven't experienced enough interaction. With proper socialization from a young age, Dachshunds can become comfortable with other pets and fellow canines.
Dachshunds are intelligent and resourceful dogs with the ability to learn quickly and retain information. Their awareness and intuition allow them to understand the world around them. They learn quickly through consistent mental stimulation and exercise, so teaching them basic commands and engaging in active play can help them develop strong problem-solving skills. Additionally, their underlying need to please their owners encourages them to rise to the challenge of learning new tasks. Dachshunds can be a great fit for anyone seeking an companion animal that will be engaged and responsive.
