Questions & Answers
Dachshunds belong to the hound family and are sometimes referred to as the "Sausage Dog". This nickname comes from the Dachshund's long, slender body and short legs, which give them their characteristic elongated look. Their small size and friendly disposition also make them a popular breed among owners who are looking for a loyal companion. With their long, curved tail, floppy ears, and distinctive bark, Dachshunds have a unique personality that makes them a wonderful addition to households of all sizes.
Dachshunds, while not strictly hypoallergenic, may be better suited for people with allergies than other breeds. They have a short coat that does not shed heavily, and their dander (dead skin cells) is relatively low compared to many other breeds. Certain other breeds have coats designed to prevent the shedding of dander more effectively, so it may be worth considering these breeds if you are particularly sensitive to allergies. However, it is always best to speak to a veterinarian experienced with the breed before making a decision.
Dachshunds should not be given table scraps or any kind of human food. Certain foods that humans enjoy can be harmful to your pup due to their size and specific metabolism. High-fat foods like avocados, macadamia nuts, alcohol, chocolate, garlic, onions, and grapes are all toxic for your dachshund and should be avoided at all costs. Additionally, treats like sugar-free gum, raisins, and xylitol can also cause serious illness so it is best to avoid those items.
Yes, Dachshunds have some special requirements that are important to consider when caring for one. They are very active dogs so they need some daily exercise to keep them healthy and happy. It's important to give them plenty of attention and playtime to help them feel secure and help prevent them from becoming bored and acting out or developing problem behaviors. They have proportionately long backs in comparison to their legs, so owners should be careful not to overexert the breed while playing or exercising to prevent back injuries.
Dachshunds vary in size, so it is impossible to predict the exact size of your puppy, however it can usually be classified into one of three sizes: standard, miniature, and a "tweenie" size. Standard Dachshunds are the largest and typically weigh 16 to 32 pounds. Miniature Dachshunds typically weigh 11 lbs or under, while "tweenie" Dachshunds are a slightly smaller version of the standard size and usually weigh between 12 and 16 lbs.
Absolutely! Taking your Dachshund for a run is an excellent way to provide them with physical and mental stimulation. However, running with a Dachshund should be done with caution. Dachshunds are a particularly small breed, and their long spines make them more vulnerable to injury than other breeds. Otherwise, they have a lot of energy and stamina and really enjoy running with their owners. Start by running short distances initially, and increase the distance gradually over time.
Dachshunds can absolutely get along with other pets! Generally, they are a friendly breed. That being said, some Dachshunds may need a bit more socialization and training, as it will allow them to feel more comfortable around other animals. With patience, your Dachshund can learn to happily coexist with the other pets in your home. It is important to introduce your Dachshund to these other animals slowly, and in a controlled environment.
Dachshunds are certainly intelligent dogs. With a great sense of smell, they excel in activities such as hunting, but also make loyal, devoted companions. Aside from being great at tracking, they are also very social, easily trained, and excellent at problem solving. Notably, they remember routines very well, love to learn new things, and enjoy playing interactive games. Due to their intelligence and sense of humor, Dachshunds are also incredibly entertaining. In addition, these pups are independent thinkers and are capable of making decisions on their own.
