Questions & Answers
Dachshunds are a fascinating breed of dog with some fun facts you may not know. For example, they were originally bred to hunt badgers and were sometimes known as "badgering dogs" in the 1700s. Dachshunds have short legs, which makes them perfect for digging into the den of their prey. Due to this unique feature, they are now among the most popular dog breeds in the world. Dachshunds are also very intelligent animals. They are known for their agility and can be taught a variety of tricks.
Dachshunds are not typically considered hypoallergenic. Allergies to dogs can vary from breed to breed, so it is possible someone could be allergic to a Dachshund and not another breed. Despite not being considered hypoallergenic, Dachshunds have minimal shedding compared to other breeds and may be a good breed for someone who suffers from pet allergies.
Dachshunds should have a balanced diet that consists of a high quality dry dog food supplemented with wet food, fresh fruits and vegetables. Meat should also be included as protein sources, with cooked chicken, beef or lamb providing healthy options. Avoid feeding table scraps and snacks as Dachshunds are prone to becoming overweight. It is highly recommended to feed them twice a day and always provide fresh water. They can benefit from dietary additions such as fish oil and coconut oil, which provide healthy fatty acids to help keep their coats soft and shiny.
Yes, Dachshunds do have specific needs and requirements. Just like all breeds, Dachshunds require a considerable amount of exercise and mental stimulation. It is important to keep your Dachshund active with plenty of walks and playtime. Socialization is also a must, as Dachshunds are prone to being shy and fearful around strangers something that could be overcome with regular exposure and gentle introduction to the outside world. Dachshunds are also prone to gaining weight, so it's important to provide them with healthy and balanced meals and portion sizes.
Dachshunds, also known as the "wiener dog" or "sausage dog," come in two size varieties standard and miniature. Standard dachshunds stand between 8 and 11 inches tall at the shoulder and weigh around 16-32 pounds, while smaller miniatures reach 5-7 inches tall and generally weigh 11 pounds or less. If you are looking for a small-sized dog then the mini-dachshund should fit your needs, however if you prefer a larger dog, the standard version might be more suitable.
Yes, you can absolutely take your Dachshund running! Though these small-to-medium sized dogs have short legs, they are also known as larger-than-life personalities and have recently gained a lot of popularity within the running and jogging community. Dachshunds have a lot of energy, which makes them great companions for a run. However, it is important to take into account a few factors when taking your Dachshund on a run — such as age, health, and temperature.
Generally speaking, Dachshunds do get along with other pets as long as their owners provide proper socialization. If the Dachshund grows up in a home with cats, other dogs, and/or other animals, then they get along just fine. However, just like any other canine breed, introducing a new animal into their home can cause some level of stress and anxiety for the Dachshund. It is important to always monitor the interaction between the pet and other animals to ensure they are playing nicely and safely.
Training a dachshund is often a challenging endeavor due to their strong-willed personalities, but there are some simple ways to get the job done. The key to successfully training a dachshund is consistency and lots of patience. It's important to start off on the right foot and create a routine with consistent commands. Rewards-based training is also highly effective; anytime your dachshund follows a command, be sure to give it a treat and some positive reinforcement. This gives your dachshund something to look forward to.
