Questions & Answers
Dachshunds, originally bred in Germany, are intelligent and playful dogs that are easily recognized by their long bodies, short legs, and docked tails. Fun facts about these iconic dogs include that they are known for their loud and melodic barks, and if they don't get regular exercise, they'll nap all day! Dachshunds come in a variety of coats, from smooth to long and wiry, as well as a variety of colors.
Dachshunds are not considered a hypoallergenic breed, as they do shed fur that may contain allergens. If you suffer from allergies, contact a veterinarian to find out more about the effects of allergies on a pet Dachshund, and what steps you can take to reduce the potential of an allergic reaction. Generally speaking, frequent grooming and regular vacuuming to remove hairs and dander can help minimize allergy-causing triggers. Additionally, getting a short-haired variety of this breed can help reduce the amount of shedding that occurs.
Dachshunds typically should be fed a balanced diet of quality dog food that is appropriate for their age, size, and activity level. Dry food is the most conventional way to feed a Dachshund, but they can also benefit from wet food, which is higher in protein and helps to keep them hydrated. Some owners prefer to mix wet and dry food together, which can help to enhance the flavor and provide a balanced diet.
To prepare your home for a new Dachshund, it is important to ensure that the environment you provide is safe and comfortable. Start by puppy-proofing your home, ensuring there are no hazardous items laying around (e.g. sharp objects or poisonous plants). Consider where you would like your Dachshund to stay and sleep; set up a comfortable space with beds, toys and water. Make sure your furniture is sturdy and that items such as curtains, wires and plants are in safe places to avoid chew hazards.
Dachshunds are a small breed of dog, and generally speaking are not considered as large dogs. Though, depending on a person’s definition of "big" when it comes to dogs, or what they personally consider a "big dog" may be subjective. Generally, Dachshunds are generally quite small, with a weight range of 8-20 lbs and a maximum height of 9-10 inches. Additionally, due to their longer bodies and short legs, they look a lot smaller than their actual size, making them appear even smaller to most people.
Dachshunds are a breed that generally loves to stay active, so they need a moderate amount of exercise daily. A good rule of thumb is to provide them with at least an hour of exercise per day, split up into several play and/or walk sessions. Long walks or runs, vigorous play in the yard, or a few rounds of fetch all provide much needed physical and mental stimulation. Regardless of the activity, it's important to incorporate plenty of variety so that your pup doesn't get bored.
Dachshunds typically get along with other animals but as with any dog, it is important to properly socialize them with other animals when they are young, so they can learn how to appropriately interact. Many Dachshunds can even become best friends and playmates with their animal siblings. With proper socialization and routine play, they can coexist peacefully and happily with other pets.
Dachshunds are generally considered to be quite intelligent dogs. Their eagerness to please and learn new things makes them great companions. They are sometimes known for having a mischievous side and can sometimes be stubborn when they don't want to do something, but overall they do respond well to training and understand basic commands. They can even be taught to play fetch, come when called, and cling to their owners. They have a strong sense of smell and are adaptable to different environments, making them great for outdoor activities.
