Questions & Answers
Dachshunds are beloved for their amusing personalities and small size. Here are a few fun facts about this lovable breed: Dachshunds have been around since at least the 1500s, originally bred to hunt badgers and other small animals; they come in two sizes: Standard and Miniature, and can be smoothor long-haired. The American Kennel Club (AKC) officially recognizes six coat colors of dachshunds: Red, black and tan, Chocolate and tan, Wheaten, Wild boar, and Blue and tan.
While all dogs can cause allergies, the Dachshund breed has less of an effect on those with allergies than other breeds of dogs. Dachshunds do not shed much, which in turn reduces the number of allergens released by their coats as compared to longer hair breeds like the Golden Labradoodle or the Shetland Sheepdog. They also have less dander, which is known to be the main allergen in dogs and can contribute to asthma, sneezing and congestion in some people.
Dachshunds should not be fed foods with high-fructose corn syrup, as this can lead to obesity and other health problems. Additionally, they should not be given table scraps or human food, as it could contain too much fat and sugar, leading to weight gain. They should not eat any cooked bones, as this could cause obstruction in their intestines. Chocolate should also be avoided as it is highly toxic to dogs. Additionally, onions and grapes can also be detrimental to their health. Lastly, large and hard foods should be avoided as they can be a choking hazard.
Becoming the best puppy parent for your Dachshund begins with educating yourself about the breed. Start by researching and reading up on the breed in order to gain a greater understanding of their temperament, diet, activity levels and potential health concerns. It's also important to establish a healthy routine from day one. This includes a consistent feeding schedule as well as regular exercise. Additionally, begin obedience training and socialization sessions as soon as possible so that your puppy can become accustomed to different situations and commands.
The size of your Dachshund puppy will depend on a few factors, such as the puppy's gender and what type of Dachshund it is. Typically, a full-grown standard Dachshund will reach between 16-32 lbs, while miniature or "toy" Dachshunds will usually be 8-11 lbs as adults. Unfortunately, it can be difficult to accurately predict how big your puppy will be when fully grown since growth rates can vary greatly.
Absolutely! Dachshunds are known to be highly energetic and active dogs. Despite their small stature, they are far from docile lapdogs and love to explore their surroundings. On walks, they will want to investigate all the interesting scents and sounds and they are usually on a mission, so you can expect to get a good workout too! In the home, they can often be found playing with their toys and many Dachshunds take part in agility courses and competitions. These little dogs have a lot to offer.
Generally speaking, Dachshunds make great family pets and can get along well with kids. Their compact size makes them well-suited for smaller homes, and they are low-maintenance and relatively easy to care for. They are loyal and loving, and will often form a tight bond with their family. However, it's important for any small dog breed to be socialized with children from an early age (and throughout their life) in order to ensure that they are comfortable in a family setting.
Training a Dachshund is possible, but it is important to point out that there is not a single answer to this question that can apply to every individual dog. Each canine's personality traits, history, and other characteristics can greatly influence the outcome. While some Dachshunds may find training easy, for others, it might be more difficult. It's important to have patience and consistency when introducing your Dachshund to new situations and commands.
