Questions & Answers
Dachshunds are an incredibly interesting dog breed, due to their quirky, playful personalities and their one-of-a-kind appearance. Their long, low-slung body and big ears make them incredibly endearing, and their spunky attitude ensures that they'll stay in their owner's memory for years to come. What sets them apart from other small to medium breeds is their devotion and unwavering loyalty. They are known for being incredibly trustworthy and loving to their owners and will always be by your side, even when things get tough.
Dachshunds are generally not considered to be hypoallergenic, which means that those who suffer from pet allergies may have an adverse reaction when in close contact with this breed. However, this doesn't mean that everyone with allergies will be sensitive; individuals with pet allergies will need to take their own individual sensitivities into account when considering getting a Dachshund. The breed does have a low-shedding coat, so allergy sufferers may find that regular grooming and managing the amount of fur that accumulates in the home can be helpful for minimizing reactions.
Dachshunds should not be fed raw or undercooked animals or animal products, as this may be unsafe and cause illness. Dairy products, such as cheese and yogurt, should also be avoided, as these may give dachshunds problems with digestion. Chocolate and foods with high fat content, such as nuts, gravy, and bacon, should also be kept away from dachshunds because these foods can lead to harmfully high levels of cholesterol.
Before getting a Dachshund, it is essential to purchase a few essential items. This includes a leash, collar, and food and water dishes. You'll also need to buy food that is specially designed for Dachshunds and treats to reward them. Investing in some comfortable bedding for your Dachshund is also recommended, and you should consider getting plenty of chew toys to help keep them entertained.
Dachshunds typically range from 8-9 inches tall and can weigh anywhere between 16-32 pounds on average. Smaller 'toy' versions, or 'teacups,' may also exist depending on the breeder, and these can be as short as 5 inches tall and weigh up to 11 pounds. Standard Dachshunds, however, have a minimum height of 8 inches and the ideal maximum is 5-6 inches. The lifespan of a Dachshund is anywhere between 12-16 years depending on its diet and health.
Despite their short legs and long backs, Dachshunds can actually enjoy swimming! In fact, many owners report that their Dachshunds love to take a dip in the pool or even a lake -much to their surprise. However, some owners may find that their Dachshunds aren't overly keen on getting in the water. Every dog is different, so some may just prefer to watch from the sidelines. It's important to remember that if your Dachshund does choose to swim, you should always supervise carefully and ensure that they don't become exhausted.
Yes, Dachshunds do tend to get along with other pets, though it depends on the individual dog. Generally speaking, they tend to be friendly with cats, other dogs, and even smaller animals such as birds and hamsters. Good socialisation and training is recommended so that the Dachshund is comfortable interacting with other animals. It's important to be prepared for a period of adjustment when introducing two or more pets, as there can be territorial behaviour.
Yes, Dachshunds are intelligent dogs. They are known for their quick learning abilities and their problem-solving skills. They are curious and love to explore their environment, suggesting that they have a keen mind. They are often clever enough to figure out how to get their own way if given the opportunity and their owners must remain vigilant in providing the proper guidance. Dachshunds are known for their strong memories, from learning commands and recognising familiar faces to remembering paths they have traveled.
