Questions & Answers
Dachshunds are a lively and loyal breed of dog that make excellent companions. They come in two sizes: standard and miniature, and a variety of colors including black, tan, and red. Dachshunds are usually good with children and other dogs, but may become territorial in their own home. They require daily exercise to remain physically and mentally healthy, and benefit from regular grooming. Dachshunds are known for being lively and curious, and love to cuddle and play. Though they may bark to alert their owners of danger, they generally make wonderful family pets.
Dachshunds are not typically considered hypoallergenic, as they typically shed hair and dander, meaning they can trigger allergic reactions in people with allergies. However, some individuals may not have an allergic reaction to Dachshunds if you have allergies, it's best to test your reaction to the breed before bringing one into your home. Additionally, it's important to take regular steps to control your pet's dander and shedding. This can include regular bathing, vacuuming, and cleaning of your pet's bed and living areas.
Dachshunds, like any other dog breed, should not be fed anything that is not specifically designed for their diet. Certain human foods, such as chocolate, onions, garlic, grapes, raisins, and any food high in fat (like candy or chips) can be dangerous for a dachshund. Foods containing xylitol, like sugar-free gums, can also be hazardous.
Before you invest in a Dachshund, there are a few essential items that you should purchase in order to make sure your pup is comfortable and has its needs met. Start by buying a quality collar that's fitted and sturdy, with proper Dachshund measurements. It's also a good idea to pick up some chew toys to satisfy chewing needs and help relieve stress. Dental hygiene is important for your doggo, so purchase some specific toothpaste and toothbrush or finger brush.
Dachshunds come in two sizes: standard and miniature. The standard size has an adult weight between 16 and 32 pounds, and height between 8 and 9 inches at the shoulder. The miniature size typically weighs 11 pounds or less, and stands 5 to 6 inches tall at the shoulder. However, even within a given size there can be a considerable variation in size from one individual to another. In general, most dachshunds are fairly long in proportion to their height and have an overall sturdy appearance with relatively short limbs.
Generally, Dachshunds need around 30 to 60 minutes of exercise per day to stay fit and maintain a healthy weight. For best results, it is recommended to split this into two shorter bouts of activity—like two 15-or 20-minute walks—where the first takes place in the morning and the second in the evening. This will ensure that your pup has ample opportunity to relieve himself during the day, while still allowing him to get some good exercise. If possible, try to vary the locations that you're walking in.
Dachshunds are often seen as one of the best family dogs because of their high levels of companionship and loyalty. They have a gentle, easy-going temper that pairs well with children, making them a great pick for families. Dachshunds have a good size for apartments, so they don't need much space to be happy. They are also smart, easy to train, and incredibly devoted to their humans.
Yes, Dachshunds are highly intelligent dogs. They are quick to pick up new commands and behaviors and they thrive on positive reinforcement. Their compact size makes them particularly well-suited to urban settings, and their active personalities mean they do better when they get plenty of exercise. The playful breed also excels at learning tricks, so even apartment dwellers can find activities to keep their Dachshunds entertained and stimulated. Dachshunds' lively personalities also make them great companions and socialize well with others.
