Questions & Answers
Dachshunds are lovable family dogs with a long, slender body and short legs. Their origins date back to 17th century Germany, where they were bred to hunt tunneling animals such as rabbits and badgers. Although they usually weigh between 16-32 pounds, there are three sizes available—miniature, standard, and kaninchen (rabbit). Dachshunds come in a variety of colors and patterns, including dapple, piebald, and brindle. They are independent, easy to train, and have surprisingly loud barks for their size.
A Dachshund may cause an allergic reaction in some individuals. However, the severity will be dependent on the individual’s allergy threshold and the specific type of Dachshund. Generally, the dog’s fur does not contain allergens, but the dander, saliva, and urine, which can cause a reaction, contain many proteins that can cause a reaction. Fortunately, most Dachshunds are clean, groomed, and do not shed excessively.
Dachshunds should not be fed chocolate, raisins or grapes, as all of these can be toxic to dogs and can cause serious health problems. Additionally, table scraps, onions, garlic, chives, and other acidic foods should be avoided in your Dachshund's diet as these can be hazardous to their health. Additionally, feeding your Dachshund too much fatty food, like bacon and sausage, can cause serious digestive issues and can put your Dachshund at risk for developing pancreatitis.
Becoming the best puppy parent for your Dachshund requires dedication and knowledge. Start by ensuring that your pup gets enough exercise to stay physically and mentally healthy. Regular walks for your dog will help keep them fit and warding off boredom, while also giving them a place to explore and socialize. Additionally, it is a good idea to provide a variety of toys for your pup to play with. It is also important to establish a routine for feeding and sleeping as early as possible. Regular and consistent meal times can promote good behavior and digestion, while scheduled nap times promote healthy sleep.
Dachshunds are a lively breed of small hounds and are surprisingly bigger than they appear. They are classified as a medium-sized breed, weighing in at an average between 16 and 32 pounds. Generally, a fully-grown standard Dachshund can reach 16-32 inches in length, while a miniature or 'toy' Dachshund will reach 11-14 inches long. While their small size and calm demeanor means they can comfortably live in small places, they remain alert and quick-footed and they thrive on longer daily walks.
Dachshunds need a moderate amount of exercise; the amount depends on several factors, such as their age, health, and size. It's ideal for them to get at least 30 to 40 minutes of exercise every day. This may include long walks, swimming, and playing with their favorite toys. To make the exercise more interesting, it is important to vary the duration and intensity. As with other breeds, it's important to let the Dachshund take more frequent breaks with shorter sessions to prevent exhaustion and injury.
Generally, Dachshunds are great with kids when they have been introduced to them from a young age. Dachshunds are an energetic breed and tend to be playful, so they can form sturdy relationships with children of all ages, however young children should always be supervised while around a Dachshund. Of course, it's not always a guaranteed outcome, as temperament can depend on individual personalities. If the pup has received adequate socialization from an early age, then they tend to do well.
Dachshunds are renowned for being intelligent, loyal, and perceptive dogs. They are known to have excellent problem solving skills, as well as an uncanny ability to remember commands and routines. Dachshunds are also one of the few breeds known to take direction well and respond quickly to their owners. While not the most obedient breeds, they are known to be full of personality and fondness for their family. Like all breeds, Dachshunds are diverse and can be independent thinkers with a brave and cunning spirit.
