Questions & Answers
A Dachshund is a breed of short-legged, long-bodied dog famed for their resemblance to their badger ancestor and spunky personalities. The breed originated in Germany centuries ago and comes in two varieties, the wire-haired and the smooth coat.Both varieties come in one of two sizes, miniature size (under 11 pounds) and standard size (usually between 16-32 pounds). Generally speaking, Dachshunds are friendly, gentle and loyal, but they can be quite stubborn and independent.
No, Dachshunds are not hypoallergenic. The breed is prone to shedding and this may cause an allergic reaction for some people. Furthermore, they do not have the low-dander coats of more hypoallergenic breeds that help reduce the chances of allergic reactions. It's not impossible for a Dachshund to be hypoallergenic, but it is not common. For people with allergies, it is generally recommended to select a breed that is more likely to help reduce their allergic reactions.
Dachshunds typically require a diet high in protein and fat with good quality ingredients, as they need to stay healthy and energized as they are very active dogs. Because of their small size and stature, Dachshunds can easily become overweight from eating foods with lower nutrition value, so it is important to feed them foods that are high quality and specifically formulated for their breed and size. It is also important to watch their calorie consumption as foods with high calorie counts can cause the Dachshund to gain weight rapidly.
Dachshunds are a unique breed that do have certain requirements. Most importantly, due to their long body and short legs, they need to be exercised on a regular basis and allowed plenty of play time. They tend to be territorial, so early socialization is essential in order to prevent aggressive behavior. Dachshunds should also receive regular grooming to keep their coat neat and healthy. They should also have routine veterinary care, including dental cleanings.
Dachshunds can come in three different sizes depending on the breed: Standard, Miniature, and Kaninchen (also known as Rabbit). Standard Dachshunds weigh between 16 and 32 pounds, and measure up to 8 inches deep from the shoulder to the feet. Miniature Dachshunds weigh not more than 11 pounds and measure no more than 5 inches deep from the shoulder to the feet.
Dachshunds are indeed an active breed of dog whose playful nature and high energy level means regular exercise and mental stimulation is essential for them to thrive. They are well-suited to active owners who will give them frequent, long walks or runs. Dachshunds can also be great companions for taking part in activities like agility competitions. Although these breeds can be active indoors, it's important they have access to an adequately fenced outdoor area where they can safely explore and run around freely.
Dachshunds can make excellent companions for children because of their loving and loyal personality. Generally speaking, due to their friendly nature, these dogs can be comfortable around children, although they may become possessive of their toys and need to be watched carefully. Socializing your pup from an early age is key in helping them get along with every family member, including children. Teach the children to be gentle when petting or playing with them and always supervise any interactions.
Dachshunds are often referred to as intelligent dogs. They are known for their feisty, tenacious, and independent nature but possess a surprising capacity for learning. Not only are they loyal creatures to their owners and family, they also retain and remember commands and tricks quickly. As their cute and compact size make them a great choice for city life, their active and determined personality keep them endlessly entertained and a totally great addition to any household.
