Questions & Answers
Dachshunds are a unique class of dog belonging to the hound family, also called the “sausage dog” or dachshund hound. They are active, friendly, and intelligent little dogs that were first bred as a working breed. With elongated bodies and short legs, they have a distinct look that sets them apart from other breeds. A combination of courage and curiosity make them enthusiastic hunters and great companions. Dachshunds love to be around people and are loyal companions who can brighten any home.
Although there is no such thing as a completely hypoallergenic breed of dog, some breeds are better for those with allergies and Dachshunds are not one of those breeds. There are no studies to show that Dachshunds are any more likely to be non-allergenic than any other breed, and in fact many pet owners and veterinarians would place them in the category of a lowto moderate-allergen-causing breed.
When it comes to what to feed (or not feed) your Dachshund, it is important to consider both their dietary and physical needs. It is generally not recommended to give Dachshunds human food, especially fatty foods like bacon, since they can cause obesity. Furthermore, certain foods like onions, garlic, chocolate, grapes and any processed foods with a high level of preservatives can be toxic and should be avoided. Chewing bones or pieces of rawhide can also pose a choking hazard.
Before getting a Dachshund, you should make sure you have all the essentials you need to provide it with a happy and healthy home. Some of the most important items to consider are a collar, leash, toys, and dog food. It's also a good idea to purchase a bed to keep your pup comfortable. Additionally, a travel crate and some grooming supplies, such as brushes and nail clippers, can be handy to have on hand.
Determining the ultimate size of a Dachshund puppy is a bit of a guessing game, as all dogs have the potential to reach different sizes as adults. Generally, the average adult Dachshund can reach up to 9-11 inches in height and 16-32 pounds in weight. It's important to note that there are two distinct sizes of Dachshunds standard size (11 pounds and up) and miniature size (up to 11 pounds). However, depending on their puppyhood nutrition and exercise, a dog of either size can so either smaller or larger.
Dachshunds are often referred to as "sausage dogs" due to their long and low bodies, but that doesn't make them any less active. They are known for having abundant energy and a desire to be a part of the action. Dachshunds can be very playful and anxious to please their owners. They will usually exercise well on their own but will respond very well to walks and other forms of exercise. This means that Dachshunds require regular exercise, but don't demand it in the same way as some other breeds may.
Dachshunds can be great pets for first-time owners, as they are generally friendly and easy to train. They require less exercise than some other breeds and tend to bond well with their owners. However, they can be quite energetic and stubborn at times, so it's important to let them know your expectations and provide consistent training. Dachshunds are also quite vocal and opinionated, so it’s important to be consistent in setting boundaries and rewarding good behaviour. And, as always, proper socialization and training is key to a well-mannered pet.
Training a Dachshund is not difficult, but requires the right technique. Start by using positive reinforcement, rewarding your pup with treats or playtime for following commands. You should also make sure to issue rewards immediately after the command is obeyed. Repetition of commands and commands in increasing difficulty is key in building up obedience. Socialize your pup early and often in order to expose them to a variety of people, animals, and environments to help them get used to different stimuli. Focus on the basics like sit, stay, down, etc. before moving on to more advanced training.
