Questions & Answers
A Dachshund is a popular breed of short-legged dog, originating in Germany during the 1700s. Bred as a scenthound and later as a terrier for badger hunting, Dachshunds boast a spirited temperament and courageous nature. Well-known for their sleek, elongated bodies, short legs, and muscular necks, they come in three varieties: Longhaired, Wirehaired, and Smooth-haired. Each variety also has a standard size, miniature size, and even a "kaninchen" size.
Dachshunds are not hypoallergenic, meaning that they do not possess the quality of causing fewer allergic reactions in people than other breeds. It is important to note that even theoretically hypoallergenic breeds can cause allergic reactions in some people, and hypoallergenic is not the same as “non-allergenic.” Worse, individual dogs may still cause allergic reactions in some people, even if their breed is not typically associated with allergenic reactions.
Dachshunds, like other breeds of dog, have specific dietary needs that require attention. They tend to have sensitive stomachs, which means their diets must be tailored to help avoid issues like gas, vomiting, and other digestive issues. It is important to monitor meal size and frequency, ensuring they are being fed the right amount of a quality diet, and also offering an occasional treat that won't disrupt their meal plan. A dry food diet is necessary for dachshunds for their dental health, as it has a tendency to help them maintain a good coat condition as well.
Dachshunds are intelligent, loyal, and active dogs that require daily exercise, training, and attention to stay happy and healthy. They have certain breed-specific requirements such as never overexerting them, due to their long backs, and having a firm lap for them to curl up comfortably in. These animals have sensitive skin and sensitive paws and are prone to ear infections and yeast infections in their skin folds. They also need well-trimmed nails, regular grooming, and regular teeth and gum cleaning.
The size of your Dachshund puppy will depend on a variety of factors, including their breed and gender. Typically, Dachshunds grow to a length of 8 to 9 inches and a weight of 16 to 32 pounds. However, some may be larger or smaller depending on the parental size. On average, the expected size of a full-grown Dachshund can range from a 5to 6-pound mini to a 32-pound standard, with a wide variety of sizes in between.
Dachshunds are known to have a lot of energy and they need regular exercise to stay healthy. The amount of exercise each one needs depends on their age and activity level. In general, an adult Dachshund should be able to walk for at least 45 minutes twice a day, while puppies and senior dogs need fewer minutes of walking. Other activities like playing fetch or having a game of tug-of-war are also good for your pooch as they help stimulate mentally and physically.
Yes, Dachshunds are a great option for first-time owners. While they are small and require less exercise than, say, a Labrador Retriever, they still need good stimulation and a reasonable amount of activity. Dachshunds are affectionate and loyal, but can be challenging to train. Owners should be firm but gentle, use positive reinforcement, and set clear boundaries. If you're patient and consistent, your Dachshund will reward you with years of loyalty and tons of love.
Dachshunds are considered loyal and very intelligent. They are known for being surprisingly resourceful and easily trainable, capable of understanding a command in fewer repetitions than other breeds. They have the smarts to use their environment to their advantage, willing to problem solve to help themselves. Extremely alert, when made aware of the situation, they can devise their own plan of attack or strategy. They have good memories and can recall commands that they have been given in the past. Along with their keen sense of smell and vocal assertiveness, Dachshunds are very smart.
