Questions & Answers
Dachshunds have a fascinating history and are known for their endearing personalities as well as their unique physical traits. Most famously, their robustly-built bodies are low to the ground and their legs are longer than they are tall, giving them a "hotdog" look. Given their diminutive stature, they are remarkably brave, fearless in the face of large, unfamiliar animals. Additionally, among all dog breeds, Dachshunds are especially loyal and strongly devoted to their human companions.
Dachshunds are not considered hypoallergenic, as they do shed, although generally less than other breeds of similar size. Allergens reside in the dander, saliva, and urine of any animal, so even with a small amount of shedding it is important for those who are allergy-prone to take extra precautions when caring for and living with a Dachshund. It's important to keep the dog's coat groomed and clean, and to vacuum regularly to reduce the amount of allergens in the home.
Dachshunds require a highly nutritious diet that is tailored to their individual needs. Dry kibble is an ideal choice, as it's designed specifically for small-breed dogs like Dachshunds. Additionally, wet food should be incorporated into their diet, as it provides the necessary moisture they need. A combination of wet and dry food is recommended to ensure they get all of the important nutrients their body requires. Treats should be given in moderation, only when warranted as a reward for good behavior.
As you prepare for your new Dachshund, it is important to ensure you have the necessary items and supplies. Make sure you purchase some comfortable bedding for them, as well as food and water dishes. Provide your new pet with a leash, and look into getting a proper harness for them as well. Take into consideration the breed’s unique needs, such as its predilection toward digging and barking, and have enough space to give them a proper area to play.
Dachshunds come in two sizes: Standard and Miniature. The Standard size typically weights between 16 and 32 pounds and is usually 16 to 32 inches long at the shoulder. The Miniature usually ranges from 11 to 16 pounds and is no more than 16 inches tall. Although it is possible to have an 18-inch Miniature, anything taller than this is considered to be the same size as Standard.
Dachshunds are active and playful dogs, though they tend to tire easily due to their short legs. Although they are known for their small size they have a big-dog personality that can be too much for an inexperienced or timid owner. Despite their short legs, Dachshunds still need plenty of exercise to stay healthy and fit; regular walks, trips to the park, and interactive games are all beneficial. Depending on the individual, some Dachshunds will have boundless energy while others may prefer lounging around for most of the day.
Dachshunds can make great family dogs that get along with children. While these dogs are often referred to as "sausage dogs," they are incredibly social and can form strong bonds with kids. However, it is immensely important to socialize Dachshunds from a young age so they are used to the presence of children and other pets. Dachshunds have great personalities and they can learn to adjust their behaviors with proper training, making them fun and loyal pets.
Dachshunds are known for their spirited dispositions, likely due to their courageous genes. Intelligence-wise, this breed require much-needed mental stimulation to keep them curious and active. They can be observant and can often solve puzzles on their own if they are given a lot of opportunities to learn. They are clever and eager to learn, excelling in obedience tasks such as basic commands and house rules. And, with enough training, Dachshunds make great watchdogs and are fearless in defending their territory.
