Questions & Answers
Dachshunds are a fun breed of dog to learn about! They have been kept as companion dogs for hundreds of years, and have a long history of being beloved by their families. They were originally bred as hunting dogs and are particularly skilled at sniffing out burrowing prey, such as badgers and foxes.
While some breeds of dogs are considered to be hypoallergenic, the Dachshund is not known to fall into this category. These pooches can still trigger allergic reactions in people who have sensitivities either through dander, saliva, or their fur. It's important to research and consider the breed if you are prone to allergies as generalizing all breeds as hypoallergenic can be misleading. In fact, most Dachshunds have short to medium-length coats, making them more prone to triggering an allergic response.
Dachshunds are typically active, energetic dogs and should receive a high-quality diet that provides them with nourishment. Feeding your Dachshund a balanced diet of lean proteins, such as fish, chicken, and beef, can help meet their nutritional needs. They also need carbohydrates like potatoes, rice, and peas to provide energy. Fruits and vegetables also offer essential minerals and vitamins such as potassium, fiber, and vitamins A and C.
When preparing to welcome a Dachshund into your home, there are a few essential items it's probably a good idea to have beforehand. You'll want to make sure you have things like a crate, bedding, leashes, and collars. You'll also want to consider purchasing some toys to help keep your pup occupied, and maybe a dog training book to help you understand your pup's personality and needs better. Don't forget to also pick up food and water bowls that are specifically designed for smaller breeds.
Yes, Dachshunds are considered small dogs. The average size of a full-grown Dachshund is between 8-11 inches and typically weigh up to 32 pounds. They are classified in the Toy Group of the American Kennel Club. Although they may be small in size, Dachshunds have an energetic and happygo-lucky attitude. With the same enthusiasm of larger dogs, they are often linked with brave hunters due to their ferocity on the field. Dachshunds are friendly companions and make wonderful family pets.
A Dachshund's natural inclination towards swimming can vary from one pup to the next. While some Dachshunds may enjoy taking dips in the pool or playing around in the water, others may avoid swimming at all costs. That being said, if you are looking to introduce your Dachshund to the world of swimming, it is important to recognize that they are a short, elongated breed of dog, so it is essential to take the necessary steps to ensure the pup remains safe in the water.
Dachshunds are generally considered to be good family dogs, and they can be very loving and loyal with children. They are small, low-maintenance dogs with playful personalities and tend to be very gentle and patient with kids. Depending on the individual dog, however, Dachshunds may not be quite as tolerant of the rough handling that comes with young, curious children, so it's important to take time to socialize and train your Dachshund from a young age so that it feels comfortable and secure around your children.
Yes, Dachshunds are very smart. Over the years, they have become highly intelligent due to their need to problem-solve the various terrains they traverse including their hunting instinct. They are able to learn new behaviors quickly and respond accurately to verbal commands such as 'sit', 'stay', and 'come'. Developing a close bond with their owners is important for a Dachshund's loyalty and obedience. Training methods that utilize positive reinforcement will bring out the most in their intelligence.
