Questions & Answers
Dachshunds are a popular breed of dog known for their short legs and long body. They originated in Germany in the eighteenth century and were bred to hunt small animals such as badgers. Dachshunds are typically friendly and loyal dogs, although they can be a bit stubborn. They tend to bond closely with their owners and can make devoted and loving companions. Dachshunds were originally bred to dig and burrow, and this instinct remains, so it is important to provide plenty of proper outlets for your dog to fulfill this instinct.
Dachshunds are hypoallergenic, meaning they are unlikely to cause allergies. However, some people may still develop reactions to them due to their presence. Depending on an individual's physiological makeup, even hypoallergenic dogs can sometimes be an irritant. To minimize the chances of allergies, it is important to frequently brush and groom a Dachshund as this removes dead hair and prevents fur dander--an allergen--from accumulating.
Dachshunds are known for their voracious appetites. They thrive on a high-quality dry kibble, similar to what you would find in a premium brand dog food. Otherwise, their diet should include fresh meats, fruits, and vegetables. Depending on their age and activity level, Dachshunds will need at least one and a half to three cups of food per day. Be sure to check the portion size and calorie amount listed on the food package. Additionally, provide meals that are a balanced blend of protein, carbohydrates, and carbs.
Dachshunds have some additional special requirements to consider when caring for them. They are a breed susceptible to back problems due to their long bodies and short legs, so it is important to provide them with a supportive bed and prevent them from jumping up and down from furniture or stairs. They are also prone to bad breath, so regular dental health and maintenance is important. Exercise is essential for Dachshunds to stay strong and healthy, and they may require more exercise than some other breeds due to their higher levels of energy.
Dachshunds typically come in two sizes standard and miniature. The standard size typically weighs between 16 to 32 pounds and is about 8 to 9 inches at the shoulder. The miniature size typically weighs less than 12 pounds and is about 5 to 6 inches at the shoulder. It is important to note that while these two sizes are typically seen for Dachshunds, other sizes may exist depending on the dog's breeders and what the parent dogs look like.
While the answer may vary from dog to dog, most Dachshunds enjoy swimming and playing in the water. They are naturally curious and playful and are not intimidated by unfamiliar environments. Many Dachshund owners have reported that their dogs frequently dive into pools and love to swim! Because of their body shape, swimming is a great activity for them to burn energy and expend energy while staying cool and comfortable.
Dachshunds are fantastic family dogs! Although their small size makes them unsuitable for roughhousing with kids, their intelligence and active temperament means they make for great companions. They are loyal, have high energy levels and require regular exercise. Dachshunds are also very curious, always eager to explore and learn new things. Their intelligence makes them adaptable and able to form strong bonds with their family. Dachshunds are known for being a protective breed, fiercely loyal and sometimes anxious around strangers.
It is possible to train a Dachshund, but it is not always an easy task. It can take consistent time and effort to teach a new Dachshund obedience, manners and proper behavior. Not only do Dachshunds have their own personalities, they are also known for their stubborness, and therefore training them can be challenging. However, with the proper guidance and consistent rules, praise,and reinforcement of good behavior, it is possible to have a trained Dachshund that can behave well in both the home and public settings.
