Questions & Answers
Dachshunds are an intelligent and loyal breed of dog known for their long hotdog-shaped bodies and strong personalities. They originate from Germany where they were bred for hunting purposes and therefore have high prey drives; however, they make great pets and can be trained to not bark excessively. As with any breed they require regular exercise and mental stimulation to keep them from becoming bored and overweight. Due to their short legs, they are not typically recommended for very active owners, however, they are quite content to get their exercise through a nice leisurely leash-walk.
Dachshunds can cause people to have allergies, though it largely depends on the individual. Some people find that they have an allergic reaction to canine dander or other allergens present in pet fur. Those who have been known to have allergies to other breeds or animals might want to consider having their allergies tested to determine if they’ll experience an allergic reaction to a Dachshund. You should also look into what type of grooming is necessary to help reduce dander levels and keep your pet’s fur clean.
Dachshunds should not be given raw eggs, onions, garlic, chocolate, grapes, or raisins. These foods are toxic for Dachshunds and can cause serious health problems. In addition, Dachshunds should not be given bones, as they can easily splinter and present a choking hazard. Dachshunds should also avoid food with high levels of fat, as this can lead to obesity and other health issues. Furthermore, avoid artificially sweetened items like gum and candy, as they can cause stomach issues.
Yes, Dachshunds have some special requirements that should be taken into consideration when raising them. As a breed, they are prone to back problems due to their long back and short legs, so owners should be sure to purchase a supportive bed or cushion for them to rest on and prevent injury. Similarly, owners should take care when playing with their Dachshunds to make sure they are not being too rough and stressing the pet's spine.
Although some larger Dachshunds can reach up to 30 pounds and 16 inches in length, the majority of the breed is generally considered to be relatively small. Breed standards recognize two sizes: standard and miniature, with the standard size weighing between 16 to 32 pounds and the miniature size weighing 11 pounds or less. With their signature long body and short legs, they are definitely an adorably petite breed of dog. Dachshunds were originally bred to hunt foxes and badgers, and their small size and fearless spirit makes them perfect for hunting prey underground.
Dachshunds are active dogs, although some may be less active depending on their age and level of health. For the most part, these spunky little dogs have endurance and agility, and they are always ready to run and play. They are known to chase cats and other small animals for sport, even if they won't catch them. They love interactive activities, such as agility courses, and will happily take you on a stroll around the neighborhood. They may also enjoy a game of fetch or a romp through a sprinkler.
Generally, Dachshunds do very well with children--as long as proper introductions have been made, and the child is taught appropriate respect for the dog. Many Dachshunds are very patient with children, especially those around the same age or younger who are accustomed to dealing with animals. It's important for kids to know how to be gentle, and to not tug, or hit the Dachshund in any way. With this understanding and respect, the Dachshund can become a gentle, loving companion to children.
Training a Dachshund can be a challenge, however, it can be possible with the right amount of dedication and patience. A key to success is to remain consistent with training, as Dachshunds can be stubborn and easily distracted. Having a well-structured routine, reward-based system, and clear commands are crucial in achieving desired results. Not only can this help you establish a strong bond with your pet, but it can also help them learn how to modify their behavior.
