Questions & Answers
Dachshunds are a fun and lovable breed of dog that were created in Germany during the 1600s by crossing selective breeds of hunting hounds. They are most famous for their long sausage-like body and short legs. Fun facts about Dachshunds include: they have a great sense of smell and were once used to hunt badgers; they have strong personalities and thrive in environments with love, care, and affection; and they are loyal and devoted to their owners.
No, Dachshunds are not hypoallergenic. While some people might not have an allergic reaction to them, Dachshunds are not considered to be a hypoallergenic breed. Allergies to animals are typically caused by saliva, dander, and/or fur, and Dachshunds are known to have a coat of fur that will harbor all three of these allergens. It is important to speak with an allergy specialist if allergies are of concern prior to bringing home a Dachshund.
Dachshunds, like many breeds, are known to have sensitive stomachs. As such, owners should avoid giving them food items that are difficult to digest or could cause stomach upset. This includes but is not limited to onions, garlic, avocados, grapes, raisins, nuts, chocolate, candy, and caffeine. It is also important to make sure Dachshunds do not overeat, as this could cause severe medical complications.
Dachshunds are generally quite active and cheerful dogs when given plenty of love, exercise, and proper care. As a breed, they also have some unique needs that must be taken into account. For example, giving them access to plenty of sunlight is beneficial to their bones and alertness. They should also be taken for regular walks, whether that means simply around the block or regular trips to doggy parks. Additionally, regular grooming and nail care is essential for Dachshunds due to their breed characteristics.
Dachshunds are a type of dog that come in two sizes: standard and miniature. While they may appear small, standard Dachshunds typically weigh up to 32 pounds, so they are not small dogs. That being said, they are generally considered "cute" rather than "big" when compared to other breeds, such as Labrador Retrievers or Great Danes. Still, those who own them will attest to the fact that they have big hearts and can be just as protective and loyal as any other breed.
The amount of time you should walk your Dachshund each day depends on the dog's age, health, and physical condition. Generally, adult Dachshunds need around 30 minutes of walking per day. However, puppies between the age of 8 and 12 weeks need more exercise and should get around 45 minutes of walking each day. As your Dachshund grows older, you may need to adjust the amount of time you spend walking them. For example, an older dog may need less walking time if they are dealing with joint issues.
Dachshunds can certainly be great family dogs! They are loyal, loving, and full of energy, making them the perfect companion for any family. They can be independent and need space for regular exercise, but with proper training and guidance they can also be relatively well-behaved indoors. Dachshunds are intelligent and eager to please, so teaching them basic commands to help them interact with humans and other animals can be beneficial. With proper socialization and interaction, they can do incredibly well with children, making them a fantastic family-friendly choice.
Training your Dachshund should be a fun and rewarding experience for both you and your pup! Start by establishing yourself as the leader of the pack and offer rewards for desired behaviors. Start with simple commands like sit and stay, using treats as an incentive. Whenever your pup follows a command, reward the behavior. As your pup continues to learn each command, begin making the training more challenging by adding distractions.
