Questions & Answers
Dachshunds are a unique breed of dog and are often considered a member of the hound group. They are one of the smallest hound breeds, and have muscular yet elongated bodies that are well-suited for burrowing underground. Their short legs give them the ability to be very agile, allowing them to be great hunting dogs. On the outside, they are covered in a smooth, thick, and often glossy coat that can come in wirehaired, smooth-haired, or longhaired forms.
One way to manage allergies with Dachshunds is by limiting contact with potential allergen triggers. This can include regularly vacuuming and dusting their living space, limiting contact with other animals, keeping things like bedding and toys clean, and bathing the dog weekly. Additionally, it may be helpful to keep windows closed and run air conditioning in areas where the dog may stay to reduce the presence of pollen and dust in the air. Lastly, if allergies become severe, you should speak with your veterinarian about possible allergy medication for the pet.
It is best to avoid certain foods and treats that may cause harm to your Dachshund. People food, such as onions, garlic, grapes, avocados, nuts, and raisins, should never be fed to a Dachshund as these items can cause stomach upset or other potentially serious health issues. Other common household foods, such as chocolate, should also be avoided, as it can be toxic to a dog's system.
To make sure your home is ready for your new Dachshund, it's important to think ahead and prepare your home before their arrival. The first step is to determine an area of your home that will serve as the pup's space as they adjust to their new environment. Make sure the area is safe, warm, and free from any items that could be hazardous. Adding a comfortable bed and chew toys will keep them entertained. Also, provide food and water bowls, but make sure not to leave any food out, as this can lead to unwanted behavior, such as begging or scavenging.
Dachshunds are considered a small breed of dog and typically grow to around 16-32 lbs. Height-wise, they usually measure 8-11 inches tall when fully grown. With different coat types and sizes, such as Standard and Miniature, they can vary in overall size and may be smaller or larger than the average size. Overall, Dachshunds are a small breed, but can sometimes appear larger due to the long length of their torso. They are known to be curious, active, and friendly, so are often adopted by people looking for a companion.
Absolutely! Running with your Dachshund can be an enjoyable experience for both you and your pup. Dachshunds are incredibly energetic and active, making them ideal for activities like running. As with any exercise, stay mindful of your pup's age, health, ability level, and overall fitness before engaging in any strenuous exercise. Make sure you also have a leash on your pup that is long enough to allow for a comfortable and safe running experience.
Dachshunds can make wonderful family dogs as they are generally friendly, affectionate, and intelligent. They are loyal and devoted to their families and, due to their small size, can fit easily into most households. Dachshunds can adapt quickly to training and housebreaking, although living with children requires a bit of patience and dedication, since they can be easily startled or excited. They are lively and companionable, making them excellent playmates for kids. Even more, they will protect and alert their families when necessary, providing an extra sense of security.
Generally speaking, Dachshunds are quite smart. They have a special knack for problem-solving activities that engage their naturally curious and inquisitive natures. Furthermore, they are known to be highly trainable; they can master basic commands in a fairly short timeframe and retain them fairly well.
