Questions & Answers
Dachshunds are a truly unique breed of dog that have many interesting characteristics that make them special. One of the most interesting aspects of Dachshunds is their long, low-slung bodies that make them ideal for navigating tight spaces. This allows them to be surprisingly agile and speedy runners, despite their size. Additionally, their bold, energetic personalities make them a popular choice among families. They have a brave heart and inquisitive nature, which leads them to embark on adventures and never shy away from a challenge.
Dachshunds are not hypoallergenic, meaning they are not pre-disposed to not cause allergic reactions. People with allergies can have varying reactions to different breeds, and Dachshunds are no exception. While there are other breeds that are described as hypoallergenic, there is no guarantee that one individual dog will not cause an allergic reaction.
Dachshunds have relatively similar dietary needs to other dogs, but there are some special considerations you should take into account when feeding them. Due to their long back, Obese Dachshunds can suffer from an uneven distribution of weight; therefore, you should adjust your pup's portions to a healthy body weight. Since their short legs cannot support their body as well as other breeds, high-calorie meals should be avoided. You should also include glucosamine and chondroitin supplements in your pup’s diet to support their joint health.
Before welcoming your new Dachshund into your home, it's important to make sure your home is a safe and comfortable environment. First, puppy-proof the home by placing breakable items out of reach and providing chew toys. Buy a pet-friendly bed with soft padding so your Dachshund can rest comfortably. Take the time to establish rules and create a regular feeding schedule. Start off by providing plenty of treats, toys and daily walks to help your pup get accustomed to your home. Establish a comfortable area for your pup to call their own.
Absolutely! The Dachshund is a small breed of dog that is classified by the American Kennel Club as a Toy breed the smallest in its group. The maximum weight of an adult Dachshund is typically 15-16 pounds, making them among the smallest of all dog breeds. In addition to their diminutive size, Dachshunds are known for their active personalities and alert temperaments, making them ideal companion animals. They are also one of the longer-living breeds surviving anywhere from 12-16 years.
Taking your Dachshund running is not impossible, but it requires some thought and preparation in order to ensure your pet's safety and comfort. Generally, smaller breeds like Dachshunds are not able to handle longer distances due to their short legs and slower metabolisms. Therefore, if you decide to take your pooch running, it's important to start with shorter distances and increase gradually. Make sure that your pup is fit enough, otherwise it can lead to over-exercise or even injuries.
Dachshunds can make ideal furry companions for first-time owners. Often described as having an excellent temperament and being particularly devoted to their owners, these lively dogs can bring joy into any household. Due to their small stature, they take up minimal space but all owners should bear in mind that this breed is very active and requires regular exercise and stimulation. Dachshunds require firm, consistent and positive training due to their independent nature. However, they can be easily house-trained and can offer a loyal and dedicated relationship to their owners.
Dachshunds are certainly very intelligent canines, and have developed the reputation of being clever and resourceful. These small-statured dogs are known for their spirited, yet tenacious nature, and frequently challenge their owners to keep up with them. Owners of these clever pooches will tell you that the Dachshund's intelligence can sometimes be a problem, as they often come up with creative and sometime mischievous ways to use it.
