Questions & Answers
Dachshunds are small but mighty! They are among the oldest breeds in the world, dating all the way back to 15th century Germany. While the original purpose of the breed was to hunt badgers, Dachshunds today make excellent companions. Fun facts about this special breed include that they come in two sizes: standard and miniature, and can have either smooth, wire-haired, or long-haired coats. They are known for being fiercely loyal and even a little stubborn, which is why they often wear such an iconic expression on their face.
Managing allergies with Dachshunds will depend on how severe the allergies are. First, determine if you or the family member affected by allergies has had any prior exposure to the breed as an indicator of how severe the reaction will be. It's also important to be aware that breeds with longer fur, like the Dachshund, tend to hold larger amounts of allergens, such as dust and dander, making them more likely to trigger an allergic reaction.
Dachshunds need a balanced, nutritious diet that not only provides them with enough calories for energy, but also helps to control their weight. A good quality, grain-free dry kibble is ideal and should contain a named source of real meat, fish, or poultry. Since Dachshunds can be prone to digestive problems, be sure to introduce any new foods gradually for the best results. Avoid foods that are high in fat such as liver, red meat, and some types of fish.
Yes, Dachshunds do have special requirements that must be taken into consideration. Dachshunds are considered a brachycephalic breed, meaning that they have shorter noses and flatter faces compared to other dogs. This can lead to some health issues for them, like difficulty breathing, overheating, and being prone to dental issues. Additionally, due to their broad chest and long back, this breed is more susceptible to intervertebral discs. For this reason, they need a controlled environment and easy access to soft surfaces.
Yes, Dachshunds are indeed considered to be small dogs, as they typically weigh about 16 to 32 pounds and are usually no more than 8 inches tall at the shoulder. Their small size puts them in the lap dog category, and they have the same lifespan as larger breeds; anywhere from 12 to 16 years. Because of their small size, these dogs need attentive care such as regular grooming. In addition, exercise should be kept to a minimum, as their bodies are not made for long, strenuous walks.
Absolutely, you can take your Dachshund running. While it might not be the same experience as running with a larger, more energetic dog, it can still be fun and fulfilling for both of you. As long as you don't push the dog too hard, they can be great running partners. It's important to keep in mind that while they can be energetic, Dachshunds are not born runners, so start slow and make sure they have breaks to rest when needed.
Absolutely! Dachshunds are an excellent choice for first-time dog owners. They are loyal, loving companions who form close bonds with their owners and can be quite entertaining. These intelligent dogs are eager to please and, with patience, will learn basic obedience commands quickly. They have a low-moderate level of activity and don't require intense exercise or activity. Dachshunds are also generally very friendly and easy to get along with, making them a good match for families with children or other house pets.
Training a Dachshund can be relatively easy depending on the individual dog. Some Dachshunds have a natural desire to please their owners and so may take to training more quickly, with minimal problems. On the other hand, other Dachshunds can require much more time and effort to train properly. Fortunately, with patience, consistency and positive reinforcement, you can train your Dachshund correctly and help them to reach their full potential. It is also important to remember that a Dachshund is an individual, and may require a customized approach to training.
