Questions & Answers
Dachshunds are incredibly fascinating dogs with many fun facts that you may not be aware of. For example, did you know that there are three varieties of this breed? The standard, miniature, and the toy size dachshund. Each of these sizes comes in two coat varieties, either wire-haired, or smooth-haired. Amazingly, dachshunds were actually bred to be scent hounds and digging dogs originally when they originated in Germany in the 1500s.
It is possible that owning a Dachshund might cause allergies for some people, however, this could vary from person to person. If you're already known to have pet allergies, it's best to consult your doctor or allergist beforehand. Dachshunds do shed, so owners should research the type of fur they have. Low-shed breeds might be less likely to trigger allergies. Grooming your Dachshund regularly and carefully cleaning the space it lives in to get rid of dander/fur can help reduce allergy symptoms.
It's generally not a good idea to feed Dachshunds human food, as it's likely to cause digestive problems. Foods that contain a lot of sugar, salt, and/or fat should also be avoided as they can make Dachshunds very sick. Rawhide treats are also not recommended, as it can lead to choking. Additionally, Dachshunds are particularly sensitive to certain foods, so it's best to keep the following foods away from them: onions, garlic, grapes, and any food containing raisins.
Yes, Dachshunds have certain needs that must be met to keep them healthy and happy. Like all dogs, they need to be properly socialized, receive plenty of exercise, and have a balanced diet full of the nutrients they need. Grooming is important too, as their long, fine coats can become tangled and matted if not properly maintained. In addition, they are prone to developing back problems because of their distinctive body shape, so it's important to be conscious of their body posture during play and exercise.
Yes, Dachshunds are generally considered to be small dogs. All purebred varieties of Dachshund, regardless of their coat type (smooth, wirehaired, or long-haired), as well as their size (standard or miniature), generally range in height from 5 9 inches and typically weigh no more than 32 pounds. This makes them a great option for those who lead an active lifestyle and prefer a pet that is both low maintenance and small enough to comfortably accommodate in most living spaces. They are also known for being intelligent, loyal, and incredibly loving companions.
The amount of time you should walk your Dachshund each day will vary depending on your individual pet's age, energy level, and health. Generally speaking, most Dachshunds require a minimum of 30 minutes of exercise per day, ideally split into two 15 minute walks or a longer walk (up to an hour). Increased exercise may be necessary for younger dogs or those that are particularly energetic, while puppies should be walked for much shorter periods (under 10 minutes), since their bones and joints are still growing.
Generally speaking, Dachshunds are known for being gentle, loyal, and friendly dogs, making them great family pets that also get along well with children. They are often referred to as a "wiener dog" because of their elongated, slender shape. As long as Dachshunds are given proper training, starting from an early age, they can become socialized and very comfortable around children. Because of their non-aggressive nature and size, Dachshunds are often a great choice for households with young kids.
Training a Dachshund can be an enjoyable and fulfilling experience for both you and your pet. However, these dogs have their own unique needs and preferences that require you to do your research in order to best understand how to train them. They are known to be stubborn and have minds of their own, so patience and consistency are key. They are highly energetic and enjoy a challenge, so they can respond well to different types of training.
