Questions & Answers
Dachshunds are a part of the hound group of dogs and are believed to have originated more than 300 years ago in Germany as a hunting dog. They are a small breed and have a long, distinct body shape known as a "dachshund look". The breed has an excellent sense of smell and is often used for scent hound activities like tracking and will even locate truffles. Dachshunds come in two sizes, standard and miniature. They also come in three colors: red, black and tan, or blond.
No, Dachshunds are not hypoallergenic. Hypoallergenic dogs are specifically bred for people with allergies. As such, Dachshunds are not the best choice for someone with allergies as they can still contribute to an allergy reaction. Dachshunds shed their fur and have a dander-trapping coat. This means that they can still create sneezing, runny nose, and itchy eyes in people with allergies. Although there is no guarantee, a hypoallergenic dog is the best option for someone with allergies.
Dachshunds are prone to issues with their delicate digestive systems, so owners should avoid feeding them food high in fats and sugar. Dairy, onions, and garlic can cause stomach upset and should be avoided, as well as foods containing chocolate and grapes. Raw, undercooked, or fatty meats can cause pancreatitis and should be kept away from Dachshunds too. It's a good idea to choose a high-quality dog food made with natural ingredients. Remember to always check with a vet before offering your pet any new food.
Becoming the best puppy parent for your Dachshund comes down to providing them with the best care possible. Start by making sure they receive proper nutrition and exercise, which will help ensure their overall wellbeing. Put plenty of time and effort into building a strong bond of love and trust with your dog, as this will help them in feeling safe and secure. Establishing clear rules and expectations early on will help you stay consistent, while making sure your dog gets plenty of mental stimulation through challenges and activities will keep them entertained and engaged.
Dachshunds can be found in two sizes standard and mini. Standard Dachshunds are considered to be a medium-sized breed and they typically weigh between 16 and 32 pounds and are usually about 7-8 inches tall, depending on the breed. The mini Dachshund, on the other hand, is much smaller in size and usually weighs about 11 pounds or less and stands around 5-6 inches tall. All Dachshunds have long, slender bodies and short, stubby legs, no matter how big they get.
Dachshunds are active dogs that require regular daily exercise and plenty of opportunities to stretch their legs. Generally, they are good at adapting to the activity levels of their owners. An active family who enjoys taking outdoor walks and playing fetch with their canine friend will find that a Dachshund will fit right in and provide a lifetime of companionship and entertainment. While they can be quite lazy from time to time, a Dachshund won't pass up an opportunity to get outside for fun outside games such as rounds of fetch and tug-of-war.
Yes, typically Dachshunds do get along with kids as they are an intelligent, trainable breed with a lot of personality. However, because they don't understand the size difference between themselves and children, they must be shown at an early age how to interact appropriately. The breed can also be snappish and territorial at times, so supervision of any interactions between the two is necessary. When a Dachshund and a child are properly trained and socialized with one another, there can be a beautiful bond between them that will last a lifetime.
Training a Dachshund is not necessarily an easy task. Every dog has a unique personality, so some may be easier to train than others. In general, Dachshunds are smart but will require consistent and patient training. Positive reinforcement tools, like treats and praise, are highly recommended for training Dachshunds. Keeping training sessions short and fun will help your Dachshund to better understand the commands you are trying to teach them.
