Questions & Answers
Dachshunds have an unmistakable body shape that is adorned with a spirited and joyful personality. They were originally bred to hunt and track down tunnels, buried quarry and even badgers! This makes them talented and courageous hunters, and their strength and devotion to humans has earned them the job of making up the bulk of the Wee family, having been shoulder-high companion dogs to hunters since at least the 1600s. Their affectionate nature allows them to easily bond with their human friends and they will often display an impressive level of loyalty.
Dachshunds are not considered hypoallergenic, which means that people with allergies may experience an allergic reaction when around them. Generally speaking, no dog is 100% hypoallergenic, but some breeds are less likely to trigger allergies. While Dachshunds do not have any known special qualities that make them hypoallergenic, they do require less maintenance than many other breeds and their coats are shorter than those of other breeds, both of which may make them easier on the allergies of their owners.
Dachshunds are a type of traditional hound, and true to their nature, they should have a diet full of lean proteins, complex carbohydrates, and healthy fats. They should be fed quality commercial dog food specially formulated for small breeds, as it provides a balanced diet for their size. In addition, small pieces of lean, cooked meat such as chicken, fish, or beef can be added in moderation as an added treat.
Yes, Dachshunds do have certain requirements that must be met in order to keep them comfortable and healthy. As a breed, the Dachshund is prone to health issues such as intervertebral disc disease (IVDD), obesity and hereditary eye disease, and these conditions can be managed and diminished with proper nutrition and exercise. Additionally, they need regular grooming, including clipping of nails, brushing of fur and even tooth brushing, to ensure that their coat remains healthy and their skin isn't dry and itchy.
Dachshunds typically come in two sizes: standard and miniature. The standard Dachshund usually weighs between 15 and 30 pounds and stands 8 to 9 inches tall, while the miniature version weighs between 11 and 15 pounds and stands 5 to 6 inches. It's possible you may also find miniature-sized Dachshunds that are under 11 pounds, as a grower is able to decide on the size of the breed, which could result in a smaller weight classification. Dachshunds are an amusing breed, full of energy, setting them apart from many other breeds.
Dachshunds vary in their affinity for swimming. Some may love it and others may not like it much at all. Generally speaking, however, they are natural swimmers with a good amount of energy and agility. Dachshunds have a long, muscular body with a low center of gravity, so it's no surprise that these determined little pooches can use their legs to keep themselves afloat. Furthermore, they have a waterproof coat that helps them to stay afloat.
Dachshunds can get along very well with children if they are raised together from an early age and socialized properly. Generally, Dachshunds are known to be very outgoing and friendly, and may even enjoy the attention of young kids. However, it is important for parents to remember that Dachshunds may become easily overwhelmed if they are poked or played with too much, so it is advisable for parents to supervise any interactions between kids and Dachshunds, especially when children are young and less able to assess a dog's level of comfort.
Training your Dachshund is a great way to channel their energy and develop a positive relationship. The key is consistency in your training. Set a daily routine that includes physical exercise such as walks and play sessions as well. Additionally, provide mental stimulation with interactive activities such as hide-and-seek, nose games and puzzles. Begin teaching basic obedience including commands such as sit, stay, come, etc. Reinforce good behaviour by giving rewards such as treats or verbal affection. Firmly establishing boundaries will help to shape an obedient pup and also prevent bad behaviours from forming.
