Questions & Answers
A Dachshund is a short-legged, long-bodied breed of dog of the hound family. They originated in Germany more than 300 years ago and were bred for hunting small animals, such as badgers and rabbits. They have a wedge-shaped head, floppy ears, and a long, slim body with short, stubby legs. Dachshunds can come in standard and miniature sizes with a variety of coat patterns, including longhaired, wirehaired, and smooth-haired varieties.
Dachshunds are generally considered hypoallergenic dogs, meaning that they produce fewer allergens to trigger allergies in humans than other breeds. However, there is no definitive answer, as the degree of reaction people have to pet allergies varies depending on their own particular sensitivity. It's possible that some people may still have an allergic reaction to certain breeds, including Dachshunds.
The best food for Dachshunds is a high-quality, complete and balanced diet tailored to their size and energy level. Well-balanced canine diets should contain the essential nutrients that your Dachshund requires to maintain good overall health. Since Dachshunds have a strong tendency to become overweight, look for food with a moderate-to-low-fat content and ample complex carbohydrates for slower digestion. A diet that contains supplemental meat-based proteins and smaller amounts of vegetables helps to keep Dachshunds lean and their coat and skin healthy.
Owning a Dachshund can bring lots of joy, but they also come with certain needs. Before bringing home your new pup, be sure to stock up on all the necessary supplies. Consider purchasing a sturdy, reliable crate for your new pup. Bedding, a leash and collar, along with quality food and safe, chewable toys are essential. Nail clippers, brushes and shampoos are important grooming tools, as are a brushing or dental wipe. Don't forget — heartworm protection and regular check-ups with a veterinarian are essential for keeping your pup healthy.
Dachshunds are smallto medium-sized hunting dogs that can grow to between 8–9 inches tall from their paw to shoulder when standing and usually weigh between 16–32 pounds. Generally, miniature dachshunds can grow to be 11 inches or shorter and weigh less than 11 pounds. Depending on the height of the dachshund, and any other factors, including diet and exercise, there may be slight variation in the size.
Dachshunds are indeed active dogs. They typically have a lot of energy, which can be harnessed through regular exercise. While they can happily relax at home, they love going out and running around on walks and outdoor play time. Dachshunds need at least 30 to 45 minutes of exercise each day in order to keep them healthy and mentally stimulated. They enjoy running and chasing after toys and balls, as well as playing fetch and even agility training.
Yes, in general, Dachshunds get along with other household pets. However, success is typically dependent on early socialization and ongoing training. If Dachshunds are introduced to other pets in a suitably controlled environment from a young age and are taught the appropriate behavior, they can become quite tolerant. Some Dachshunds even enjoy playing with other animals, especially when the other pet is larger than them. Of course, each animal is unique and it is important to be mindful of how they might interact due to certain personalities and temperaments.
Dachshunds are definitely considered smart dogs. They are highly trainable and can learn a great variety of tasks. They have a good understanding of what their owners are asking of them, and they excel at obedience training. They have an excellent memory and can remember people, places, and tasks with great accuracy. They also have strong problem-solving skills, allowing them to think through tasks and come up with creative solutions. Overall, their intelligence and willingness to work with their owners make them great pets and a great addition to any family.
