Questions & Answers
Dachshunds are classified as a hound breed, which are defined as dogs that are used for hunting game by scent or sight. They have an incredible ability to follow a scent trail, but also have a lot of energy which can make them difficult to keep up with when out on a hunt. Generally speaking, Dachshunds are characterized by their long-bodied, short-legged structure, and most have a long, low-set muzzle and drop ears.
No, Dachshunds are not hypoallergenic. Dachshunds are a breed of small hound that have a double-layer coat of long hair, which tends to give off more dander and trigger allergic reactions. This breed also has a high tendency to shed, making them more difficult to keep in a hypoallergenic environment. People with severe allergies should take extra care to consider the breed before making a commitment to owning a Dachshund.
Dachshunds should not be fed items that contain a lot of sugar, fat, and sodium, as these can cause weight gain, diabetes, pancreatitis, or other digestive issues for your pup. Additionally, they should not be fed products with fillers, artificial flavoring, or added preservatives. In general, it is best to feed them food specifically designed for Dachshunds, as this will provide them with the nutrients and calories required for their size and activity level.
Firstly, make sure that any potential hazards in your home that may be dangerous to your new Dachshund are removed or protected. If you have long curtains that your pup can get tangled in, consider securing them higher up on the wall or shortening them. If you have plastic bags or cords lying around, store or secure them in a safe place. Secondly, create a comfortable area specifically for your Dachshund that contains a bed, soft blanket, and a few toys. Establishing a designated, comfortable area will help your pup feel safe and secure in their home.
Yes, Dachshunds are usually classified as small dogs, because they typically weigh no more than 11-16 pounds and stand 5-6 inches tall at the shoulder. Dachshunds are also referred to as "weenies," "wiener dogs," and "sausage dogs," which furthers the assumption that they're a small breed. Even though they may appear small, Dachshunds are known to be very energetic and even somewhat stubborn, which are behaviors typically associated with larger-breed dogs.
Yes, you can take your Dachshund running. It is important to remember that their little legs don't go fast, and their short legs means a short stride, so you need to keep the running portion of your activities to shorter distances than you yourself would be comfortable doing and build up gradually over time. It is recommended to take your Dachshund on shorter runs on softer surfaces like dirt or grass, to protect their joints and bones from injury. They also need to warm up before any exercise or running, just like humans do.
Dachshunds are generally quite affectionate and gentle with children, making them a great pet for families. When properly socialized, Dachshunds are known for being quite playful and friendly with all members of the household, particularly kids. While they do need a bit of patience and training to ensure they behave properly, most Dachshunds are committed to becoming a disciplined member of the family.
Absolutely! Dachshunds are considered to be highly intelligent dogs with an impressive capacity for problem solving. With the right training, Dachshunds can learn commands and tricks quickly and perform well in obedience and agility competitions. They are also incredibly loyal and intuitive which means they can easily remember faces, places, and scents for a long period of time. Furthermore, Dachshunds are known to be independent thinkers, which often leads to quite a bit of mischievous behavior. Despite this, they enjoy time spent with their owners and are always eager to please.
