Questions & Answers
A Dachshund is a short-legged, long-bodied breed of dog originating in Germany. Also known as a “sausage dog” or “wiener dog”, they usually range in size from the miniature dachshund to the standard. Dachshunds were bred to track, pursue and flush out small animals like badgers, rabbits, and foxes; they are widely used in hunts today. Not only that, but they’re also seen as loyal and loving companions in households all over the world.
No, Dachshunds are not hypoallergenic. Dachshunds do shed, so allergen production is not excluded in these dogs. They are considered to have low-shedding coats, but there is no guarantee that an individual dog will not produce dander, which is what triggers allergies in people. Although they do not explicitly produce a lot of dander, the shedding hair and saliva of a Dachshund could cause an allergic reaction in some people.
Dachshunds should not consume foods such as onions, garlic, grapes, and raisins as these can all be detrimental to their health. They should also steer clear of table scraps, sweets, and even some fruits such as apples and peaches due to their higher sugar content. Furthermore, foods that are high in fat can also be challenging for a Dachshund's digestion system and should be avoided.
An important aspect of being a responsible and caring puppy parent for your Dachshund is to have knowledge of the breed and its needs. Commit to having realistic expectations and understanding the potential risks and challenges associated with the breed. As you get to know your Dachshund, take the time to understand their characteristics as well as any inherited health issues. Creating a safe environment and providing them with proper exercise and a balanced diet are essential for their well-being. Invest in obedience training and provide plenty of mental stimulation and regular activities to keep them healthy and socialized.
Dachshunds are small to medium-sized dogs, so they can usually be considered to be small dogs. Depending on their shared breed trait of being a “dog of short legs”, some might consider Dachshunds to be categorically "big" dogs though, since comparative to their height they tend to be longer in length. Although still relatively compact, Dachshunds are larger in height and length than some of the smaller breeds like Chihuahuas or Yorkies.
Dachshunds can learn to enjoy the water, as long as they are introduced to it gradually and in a safe environment. Typically, these long-bodied dogs are more inclined to chase a toy in shallow waters on a hot day rather than take a strong plunge into the deep.
A Dachshund can make a great pet for first-time owners, especially if they are willing to take the time to understand their needs. Since Dachshunds are small, they can be easier to look after than a larger breed and their dwarf size also makes them great for apartment living. It is important for new owners to ensure they provide their pet with plenty of exercise as they can become playful and excitable when not stimulated enough.
Dachshunds are an intelligent breed of dog and can be trained relatively easily. They are eager to please and thrive on the attention and stimuli associated with learning commands. Studies have shown that they are able to quickly master new commands, and their trainability is generally rated very highly. They can pick up behaviors quickly, as long as the training is consistent and positive. Dachshunds have keen noses and are able to follow strong scents over a considerable distance, making them great working dogs for hunters.
