Questions & Answers
Dachshunds are members of the hound group and are a type of scent hound that was bred to hunt small animals or badgers. Originally from Germany, Dachshunds come in three varieties based on size, Smooth, Wirehaired, and Lond-haired, and are a playful, curious and self-confident breed. They are usually described as being loyal, friendly and brave and make great family dogs for the right owner. Dachshunds have strong hunting desires and can be stubborn sometimes, which makes them difficult to housebreak.
Dachshunds are not considered to be hypoallergenic breeds, as they are known to shed and produce allergens. Allergens are created naturally as dachshunds shed their fur as part of their regular grooming routine and when moving between seasons. This could present a challenge for those who suffer from allergies, as the allergens may trigger a reaction in some individuals.
Dachshunds can thrive on a variety of foods, depending on their level of activity. A balanced diet should include quality proteins, grains, fiber-rich vegetables, and healthy fats. Protein sources such as fish, chicken, turkey, beef, and game meat are important for maintaining their muscle mass and providing essential minerals and fatty acids. Grains such as brown rice, oats, and barley provide complex carbohydrates essential for energy. Vegetables such as broccoli, carrots, sweet potatoes, spinach, and kale are packed with fiber and helpful vitamins.
Before getting a Dachshund, a few essential items should be considered. Dog food, a collar and a leash, and a crate or dog bed are must-haves. Invest in a few toys for your Dachshund to play with and keep them entertained. Also, don't forget to pick up some brushes or combs for grooming. A few tools, such as nail clippers and a toothbrush, for daily maintenance and hygiene needs to be acquired as well.
Dachshunds come in two sizes: standard and miniature. Standard Dachshunds typically weigh 15-20 pounds and can reach lengths of 8-18 inches, while miniature Dachshunds typically weigh around 11-12 pounds and their length is usually 5-6 inches. Breeders may also produce toys, which are even smaller than the miniatures. Toy Dachshunds usually reach a maximum of 7-9 inches in length and 4-9 pounds in weight.
Yes, Dachshunds are particularly active and energetic dogs. They were originally bred to hunt badgers and other animals that require underground burrowing. This means that the Dachshunds have a natural affinity for taking part in activities that involve a lot of energy, running around, and investigating their surroundings. These activities can provide them with a way to channel their natural energy, stimulate their minds, and give them plenty of opportunities to stay both physically and mentally fit.
Generally, Dachshunds have a tendency to get along well with other pets, provided they have been raised up in an environment where animals are respected and treated as part of the family. It is important to ensure that the Dachshund is properly socialized and trained as early on as possible, so that any events that may occur with different animals will be less likely. If other animals have been socialized and are used to the presence of a Dachshund, there will be a greater likelihood that all animals in the household can peacefully coexist.
Dachshunds can be a joy to train, as long as you are patient and consistent with your training approach! Start by spending some time every day teaching the basics like sit, stay, come, and go. Slowly introduce new commands as they become comfortable with the old ones. To keep their attention, have treats handy to reward them for doing a good job. During training sessions, keep them engaged with interesting activities every few minutes. Mix up your approach and use different tools such as voice commands, hand signals, and some clicker training.
