Questions & Answers
Dachshunds are a unique breed of dog which belong to the Hound group. They are small to long-sized dogs with distinctive elongated bodies and short legs, bred initially to hunt badgers. Historically, Dachshunds were found in Germany, but are now enjoyed around the world as a beloved, loyal companion canine. Their alert nature and short-haired coat make them excellent watchdogs. Dachshunds have a friendly, outgoing, and spunky temperament and are known to be great around children.
Dachshunds cannot be considered hypoallergenic. Some people may be allergic to Dachshunds, just as they can be to any other breed of dog. Although they do not shed a lot of hair, they tend to lose more hair in warmer climates or in higher temperatures, which can lead to increased allergic reactions in people who are sensitive to allergens. Additionally, Dachshunds like all other breeds of dogs produce dander, which is the cause of most pet allergies.
Dachshunds should not be given certain foods that may be toxic to them, such as those containing grapes, raisins, onions, garlic, macadamia nuts, chocolates, and foods with bones that could splinter and become lodged in their throat. As well as these specific foods, Dachshunds should be served a healthy balanced diet. Avoid excessive amounts of canned or dry food that may be high in carbohydrates and cause weight gain, and table scraps should be avoided as they provide insufficient amounts of nutrients.
Before you decide to get a Dachshund, make sure to pick up the essentials! You should certainly get a comfortable bed, quality food, and a collar and leash for walks. You will also want to purchase chew toys and puzzle toys to keep your pup entertained. Proper training should be a priority you may consider investing in a professional trainer or enrolling in a dog obedience class. Additionally, don't forget to get a brush for grooming and a few treats to reward your dog's good behavior. Lastly, make sure to pick up some cleaning supplies to help keep your house clean!
