Questions & Answers
A Dachshund is a small to medium-sized hunting hound that originated in Germany during the 1600s. The breed is known for its long, low body shape, short legs, and smooth-haired, long-eared head. It is typically seen with tan and black markings, but it also comes in dapple, double-dapple, brindle, and piebald color combinations. They are loyal and fearless pets that easily bond to their owners, but due to their hunting instinct they can be quite persistent in seeking out smaller animals, such as small rodents and cats.
Managing allergies with Dachshunds is possible with the right precautions. If you are considering bringing a Dachshund into your home, be sure to take steps for preventing allergic reactions. Allergy-reducing practices include regular grooming and brushing, vacuuming often, washing your Dachshund's bedding and items regularly, and avoiding carpeting or drapes. Be aware of potential irritants, such as fragrances, dander, pollen, and mold spores, and either remove or reduce exposure to these items.
Your Dachshund will need a diet that fits their size and activity level. You may want to consider a high-quality, age-appropriate dry food specifically designed for small breeds like Dachshunds as a base. Some veterinarians also suggest adding wet food to help increase hydration and avoid low-grade urinary tract issues, or adding supplements like glucosamine to minimize joint pain. Talk to your vet about other dietary options and get their advice on which foods will best help your pet thrive.
Preparing for a new Dachshund should include researching what kind of food should be fed, securing any necessary supplies (such as a leash), learning more about the breed, and properly training your pup. It is important to understand a Dachshund's needs for exercise and socialization. This breed tends to be particularly high-energy, so it's important to have the time and space to let the pup run and put their energy into some structured activities so they don't become destructive. It is also essential to look into health concerns specific to the breed.
Dachshunds are not considered large, but they do have a big personality! Generally, they are considered a small breed, weighing between 16 to 32 pounds. However, if you measure their body mass in relation to their short legs, they have more mass relative to their height, giving them the appearance of a larger dog. While they may not technically be considered one of the big breeds, they are certainly a breed of dog with a larger-than-life personality and presence in homes and backyards everywhere!
Absolutely! Exercise is an important part of keeping your Dachshund healthy and active. With that in mind, you can certainly take your Dachshund running with you. Before doing so, however, make sure you understand the activity level of your pup. Some Dachshunds may have medical or behavioral issues that would prevent them from running, so it's best to check with your veterinarian before starting. Furthermore, always keep your Dachshund on a leash and make sure that your pup is comfortable with the pace and terrain.
Yes, Dachshunds typically get along quite well with other pets in the household, including cats and other dogs. These energetic and alert canines are active and friendly and may even bond closely with other animals, particularly if they are raised together as puppies. Socialization of the Dachshund with other pets should begin at an early age, through positive reinforcement and timed interactions with peers. Dachshunds can easily learn to share attention while happily playing and exploring with their peers.
Yes, Dachshunds are considered to be quite intelligent. They are alert and learn basic commands quickly.

Additionally, Dachshunds are fiercely loyal and devoted to their owners and are eager to please them. Because of these attributes, they make wonderful companion dogs.
