Questions & Answers
Dachshunds are one of the most unique breeds of dog. They are recognizable for their long body shape, short legs, and loving personalities. One of the most interesting facts about this species is that Dachshunds were bred to hunt smaller animals like badgers, rabbits, and even foxes. The longer body served as an advantage when it came to entering underground dens and chases. They are also surprisingly brave for their size and will not back down when it comes to barking a warning at other approaching animals.
Managing allergies with Dachshunds requires conscientious care and planning. It is important to eliminate potential triggers in the home, such as dust and pollen particles. Vacuuming the floors on a regular basis and using a dehumidifier/air purifier to reduce airborne allergens can be beneficial. If your allergies are severe, you may want to consider daily bathing and brushing of your Dachshund in order to remove dander. Additionally, bathing your pet with a shampoo specifically designed for allergies can help reduce the amount of allergens your pet produces.
Dachshunds require a balanced diet that consists of high-quality protein, fatty acids, essential vitamins and minerals. Therefore, the best dog food for them is a food specially formulated for the breed that takes into account any special nutritional requirements a Dachshund may have. For instance, you should look for a brand that has a low-fat formula to protect a Dachshund's sensitive stomach and digestive system.
It is important to properly prepare for your new dachshund. To start, you will need to create a safe, comfortable and familiar space for them in your home. It is best to use pet-safe products such as bedding, toys and food dishes. Make sure to puppy-proof your house by removing anything that could be a choking hazard and setting up clear boundaries for where they can go and how they can behave. Next, it is important to make sure your new pup understands basic obedience like sit, stay, heel and come.
Dachshunds can vary in size, so the answer to the question of whether they are considered big dogs is somewhat relative. When comparing them to standard-sized breeds like a Labrador Retriever or German Shepherd, Dachshunds might appear to be on the smaller side. However, when compared to toy and small breeds, these dogs could be classified as relatively large. Generally, a full-grown adult Dachshund will reach approximately 9-15 inches in length, as well as 11-32 pounds in weight.
Absolutely! Dachshunds may not be the most energetic of breeds, but they are no slouches. These dogs are known for their lively and inquisitive nature, and can be quite vocal at times. Dachshunds also require a daily dose of physical and mental exercise. If not provided, they usually become quite restless and display destructive behavior. It's best to take them outdoors for 30-60 minutes of physical activity each day, including plenty of play, and to engage them in brain-building activities like puzzle toys and games.
Many Dachshund owners have found that these loyal pups have excellent temperaments around children. Dachshunds are very loving toward their families and are affectionate with babies and children as well. This breed tends to be intelligent and can usually be trained with patience and consistency. They may be small, but Dachshunds have enough energy and enthusiasm to keep up with kids without becoming overly boastful or too coarse. Some Dachshunds even enjoy playing fetch or tug-of-war with children and can happily spend hours playing with them.
Dachshunds are intelligent canine companions, however, their intelligence is often underestimated. They consistenly demonstrate a keen willingness to learn quickly with patience and consistency. Known as "Sausage Dogs" due to their short legged build, Dachshunds are surprisingly adept at problem solving, finding creative solutions to complex tasks. It may take them a bit longer to learn something new, but when they do, they retain what they have learned. Additionally, Dachshunds are quite social and enjoy interacting with their owners and family members.
