Questions & Answers
Dachshunds are considered to be a part of the hound dog breed, belonging in the same class as Beagles, Foxhounds, and other breeds that were bred for hunting. These dogs have long, slender and muscular frames with short legs that result in a rather distinct and unique appearance. Their long backs and powerful sense of smell allow them to be excellent hunters and passionate scavengers. Dachshunds are often quite friendly with those they are familiar with, but tend to be wary of strangers.
Dachshunds are not considered to be a hypoallergenic breed. While they may not cause as severe an allergic reaction as other breeds, they do produce dander, which is one of the most common triggers of pet allergies. They are also known to shed quite a bit, so even if the dander itself does not trigger allergies, an excessive amount of dog hair scattered about may still lead to some discomfort. For those considering a Dachshund, it is a good idea to make sure it will not worsen any existing allergies before bringing the pup home.
Dachshunds can benefit from a specialized diet depending on their age and activity level. One of the best types of food for Dachshunds is a high-quality, balanced dry kibble as it helps reduce tartar and plaque buildup, as well as maintain their weight. Additionally, kibble is also easier for them to digest in comparison to wet food. When selecting a dry kibble for your Dachshund, look for formulas with real, high-quality proteins as the main ingredient.
To become the best possible puppy parent for a Dachshund, begin by doing your research. Learn about the breed and familiarize yourself with their specific needs, temperament and exercise requirements. Spend plenty of time with your pup, providing training, socialization and enrichment activities. Become familiar with basic obedience commands and be consistent with how you implement them. Make sure to provide a loving and safe environment as well as a predictable routine. Feed a balanced diet and provide plenty of water, and lastly, make sure to get regular veterinary check-ups that include preventive care.
Dachshunds range from small to extra-large sizes, so the answer to whether Dachshunds are considered big dogs depends on one's point of view. Generally speaking, they are considered a small breed, but there are some extra-large Dachshunds that might qualify as big. That being said, an average size Dachshund stands between 6-10 inches, so even an extra-large one of 35 pounds would be smaller than a medium-sized breed.
While some Dachshunds may be able to jog short distances with their owners, this isn't recommended for most of the breed. Dachshunds are far more optimally suited for shorter, brisk walks. Generally speaking, when running with owners, Dachshunds will become overheated and experience exhaustion more quickly than other breeds due to their short legs and inability to cool off quickly. Furthermore, their long, spine structure may also be damaged if they are taken for intense, long-distance runs.
Dachshunds are generally good with kids, but they can be a bit active and possessive. Many Dachshunds love playing with families and thoroughly enjoy time with their human kids, being very loyal and often fiercely protective. With proper care and socialization, a Dachshund can be a fun and loving companion for children of all ages. Early and frequent interactions with children are important for good socialization, so it's important to make sure the dog is exposed to children from a young age.
Dachshunds have a reputation for being some of the smartest of the dog breeds. They are known for being loyal and loving companions with a great capacity for learning. Their curious and resourceful nature make them excel in training and mastering new tricks. Plus, they have the intelligence to figure out how to accomplish tasks, such as opening latches and climbing gates. With the right motivation and training, Dachshunds can even be taught to bark in response to hand signals.
