Questions & Answers
Dachshunds are a unique class of dogs that belong to the hound family. Because of their long, low-slung bodies that can squeeze through small spaces, they have become iconic for their specialized hunting abilities. Dachshunds come in two varieties – smooth and wire-haired – and three sizes: standard, miniature, and toy. All of these variants share unique traits, such as lively personalities, curious minds, and lovable characters. Furthermore, they tend to be devoted companions and excellent family dogs with a good amount of stamina.
Generally speaking, Dachshunds are not hypoallergenic. While certain breeds of dogs have been bred to produce less of the proteins that trigger an allergic response, Dachshunds are not among those dogs. Although individual dogs may be less of an allergen than others, it is not possible to guarantee that a particular Dachshund will be hypoallergenic. If someone allergic to dogs is interested in obtaining a Dachshund, they should speak to their veterinarian and allergist and do plenty of research before committing to a new pet.
Dachshunds should not be fed any type of human food, as some contain ingredients that can be toxic to their bodies. Foods such as chocolate, grapes, raisins, almonds, macadamia nuts, and onions are especially dangerous and should be kept away from Dachshunds. Refrain from feeding your pup table scraps, or cooked leftovers, as this could cause digestive issues. It is best to consult with a local veterinarian in order to determine the most appropriate food for your dog's dietary needs.
Preparing your home for a new Dachshund can seem like a daunting task but with a few simple tips you can make it an easy and pleasant experience! Make sure to dog-proof your home by removing any fragile objects or hazardous items that may hurt your pet. Position food and water bowls in sheltered areas to provide the most comfortable environment. If your dachshund will be roaming indoors, provide plenty of places for them to explore by adding extra beds, pillows, and chews.
Dachshunds traditionally come in two sizes, standard and mini. The standard size is usually between 16 and 32 pounds full grown, and the shoulder height for standards ranges between 8-9 inches. On the other hand, mini dachshunds are smaller and lighter, usually weighing in around 11 pounds or less, and with a shoulder height of 5-6 inches. Generally, a well-balanced dachshund should have a slender, muscular body with a long, elongated shape.
Absolutely, you can take your Dachshund running with you. Before you do so, please make sure you know all the precautions and safety measures you should be aware of. Dachshunds have long, narrow backs, so running could put them at risk for back problems if they don't build up to the activity gradually. Start with short, slow walks and gradually work up to running as your pup gains strength and endurance. Be aware of when your pup is tiring and be prepared to end the exercise session and carry your pup home if need be.
Generally speaking, Dachshunds can get along with children quite well if socialized and trained properly, as they have a lively and affectionate nature. Dachshunds are also typically very patient animals, making them a great choice around kids. Of course, like with any breed, there can always be exceptions, so it's best to supervise any interactions between children and your Dachshund.
Dachshunds have long captured the hearts of many due to their bold and loving nature, but they are often also admired and recognized for their intelligence as well. According to a study conducted by Stanley Coren, Ph.D., Dachshunds are ranked in the top 10 of the smartest dog breeds. Dachshunds are very independent and tend to think for themselves, allowing them to problem-solve their way out of tricky situations. They are also highly trainable thanks to their keen understanding of verbal and non-verbal cues.
