Questions & Answers
Dachshunds are incredibly fascinating companions. Not only is their very long, slender, low to the ground stature captivating, but they have an intriguing history as well. They were originally bred to hunt badgers and have since been labeled as the "badger dogs" of the hound family. With their large ears, keen sense of smell, and unflagging determination, their hunting background is undeniable. Additionally, dachshunds have held a special place in human hearts for centuries. They were favored by noble families throughout Europe and are just as beloved today.
Dachshunds are not hypoallergenic, meaning they are not ideal pets for those with allergies. Though they are considered to be a low shedding breed, they produce the same allergens that other breeds of dog do. Those with allergies should take extra precautions if considering a Dachshund, such as purchasing pet-friendly cleaners, regularly vacuuming and dusting, and excluding carpets, curtains, and other fabrics from the home.
It is important to feed our beloved Dachshunds a healthy and balanced diet. Ideally, a high-quality dog food designed specifically for Dachshunds should make up the majority of their diet. In addition to their regular meals, snacks like fruits and vegetables can be used as occasional treats. Be sure to avoid anything that is salty, greasy, or sugary, as they are not healthy for your Dachshund. When adding any new food items to your Dachshund’s diet, make sure to introduce them slowly and in moderation.
Ensuring that your home is ready for your new Dachshund is an important responsibility. Start by puppy-proofing your home. Remove dangerous items like electrical cords, toxic plants, and breakable items. Make sure that small objects and materials that could be chewed on and swallowed are out of reach. Additionally, set up a safe and comfortable sleeping area for your pup. Adding a soft blanket or two and a few cozy toys is a good start. Furniture should also be inspected for sharp edges that could potentially hurt your pup.
Yes, Dachshunds are considered small dogs. Generally, they have long slim bodies, short legs, and large ears and eyes, which results in a small dog breed. The American Kennel Club (AKC) classifies them into two sizes: standard and miniature. Standard Dachshunds have a shoulder-height of 8 to 9 inches, and a bodyweight of 16 to 32 pounds. On the other hand, Miniature Dachshunds have a shoulder-height of 5 to 6 inches, and a bodyweight of 8 to 11 pounds.
Absolutely! After all, Dachshunds were bred to be hunters on the ground, so running is surely within their capabilities. However, there are some important things to consider first. Before you begin running with your Dachshund, it's important to observe the breed's general health and size Dachshunds have short legs, and carrying excess weight can put strain on them. Also, since Dachshunds are bred to dig and hunt, they may be tempted to chase small prey, so make sure to keep them on the leash.
Generally, Dachshunds can get along with children very well. With the proper introduction and socialization, these small dogs have an affinity for children, making them a perfect addition to almost any household. Dachshunds require plenty of exercise, and it can be a wonderful opportunity for kids to provide playtime for the pup. While these dogs have lots of energy, they tend to be gentle and patient with kids, so long as they're treated kindly and with respect.
While it is difficult to definitively answer this question, many Dachshund owners often report that their canines are extremely intelligent animals. Dachshunds are loyal, playful, and love to be around their owners, which suggests they are able to form strong and trusting relationships with their humans. Studies have also shown that the breed has an impressive working memory, enabling them to remember commands they've been taught in the past. In addition, Dachshunds are known for their alertness and protective nature.
