Questions & Answers
Dachshunds, or 'sausage dogs' as they are sometimes called, are full of unique facts and quirks. They originated in Germany in the 16th century and were bred to hunt badgers and other creatures. One fun fact is that dachshunds come in a variety of sizes, from the standard 'long-haired' to the miniature variety. In fact, the Guinness World Record for the smallest living dog is a Dachshund! On average, dachshunds live 12-15 years and can easily be trained.
Dachshunds are not considered hypoallergenic, meaning that they can trigger allergies in people who are sensitive to dogs. While all breeds of dogs are known to produce some dander that can lead to allergic reactions, it has been observed that those with longer, courser coats tend to produce significantly more allergens than other breeds. Dachshunds, with their longer, wooly coats, are known to be an especially bad match for people with allergies.
Dachshunds usually require high-quality, well-balanced food that is designed specifically for their breed. When it comes to serving size and type of food, there are several things to keep in mind. To ensure that your Dachshund is getting the proper nutrients, aim to feed a diet that is rich in protein and low in fat. Fresh foods such as lean meats, vegetables and fruit can be a great supplement to or replacement for dry kibble. Additionally, a Dachshund’s diet should always be supplemented with proper amounts of essential fatty acids and vitamins.
Preparing for a new Dachshund is an incredibly rewarding experience. Before bringing your pup home, it’s important to purchase necessary items such as food and a bed as well as familiarize yourself with its breed. Make sure to research what your Dachshund needs in order to be content and healthy. Knowing its activity and social needs can allow you to better prepare your home, schedule, and lifestyle. This is especially relevant if you have other animals or children that the pup will need to get accustomed to.
It's hard to know exactly how big your Dachshund puppy will be when it is fully grown, as the size of a mature Dachshund can vary depending on the breed and parentage. Generally, a fully grown Dachshund will stand anywhere from 8 to 9 inches (20 to 23 cm) at the shoulder and weigh somewhere between 16 and 32 pounds (7 and 15 kg). Of course, some Dachshunds can be bigger or smaller than this and you can use a growth chart to assess your pup's health and size.
Dachshunds are an active breed and typically need around 30 minutes of exercise every day. Moderate walks or play can help your Dachshund stay healthy, agile, and mentally stimulated. This should include both mental and physical activity so be sure to include plenty of interactive play sessions! If you want to take your Dachshund for a run, opt for shorter ones and remember each pup is different; some may require more exercise than others.
Dachshunds can make wonderful family companions, especially with children! They generally have a friendly, outgoing, and playful disposition, making them an excellent breed to introduce to any family with youngsters. Although their size and robust energy level may suggest otherwise, Dachshunds tend to be quite gentle and patient with their owners, and it is not uncommon for them to develop strong bonds with children. Their intelligence and eagerness to please means that they can be easily trained to meet the needs of each family member, making them an ideal family pet.
Absolutely, Dachshunds are smart. They are well known for their ability to think, reason, and be independent. They are devoted, loyal companions that form close bonds with their humans and love learning new tricks. A Dachshund may take a little longer to learn than other breeds, but their intelligence and willingness to please more than make up for the extra time. Additionally, with early socialization and training, Dachshunds can become a much-loved member of the family.
