Questions & Answers
A Dachshund is a short-legged, long-bodied dog breed of the hound-type. The breed's standard size was developed to scent, chase, and flush out badgers and other burrow-dwelling animals, while the miniature Dachshund was developed to hunt smaller prey. The name "Dachshund" is of German origin and literally means "badger dog", from Dachs meaning badgers and Hund meaning hound or dog. It has various nicknames, including "Wiener Dog" and "Hot Dog".
Dachshunds are not hypoallergenic, meaning they are not considered a good fit for those with allergies to pets. However, they do not have a particularly strong "doggy odor" or fur-shedding potential, which can cause irritation for those with allergies or asthma. Additionally, frequent bathing and maintenance is important for any pet, and proper care can help keep Dachshunds from having a strong scent that might aggravate allergies. Ultimately, allergies to any pet should be taken into consideration prior to adoption or purchase.
Dachshunds do have some specific dietary needs, as do most breeds of dogs. A dachshund's digestive system can benefit from food that contains higher amounts of protein and fat, as well as high-quality sources of fiber such as pumpkin or sweet potato. Dachshunds can also tend to be prone to obesity, so owners should take care to provide a healthy balanced diet with appropriate calorie and fat levels in order to maintain their additional weight. Additionally, as with all breeds, fresh water should be available year round for your dachshund.
Before bringing home a Dachshund, it is important to make sure that you have all the necessary supplies such as food and bowls, a collar and leash, a suitable bed, some chew toys, brushes and nail clippers, flea and tick treatment, and puppy pads. Additionally, it is recommended to have a vet checkup scheduled and to set up an appointment to have the pup microchipped for its safety.
Dachshunds are considered a medium-sized breed and typically grow to be between 8-11 inches tall at the shoulder, and weigh between 16-32 pounds. There are 3 different size varieties of Dachshunds, including the standard, miniature and kaninchen. Standard Dachshunds are the largest of the three with a size range of 16-32 lbs with an average of 25 lbs. The miniature Dachshund generally weighs between 11 and 16 lbs and stands 8-11 inches at the shoulder.
Yes, you can take your Dachshund running! Keep in mind that smaller dogs like the Dachshund have shorter legs and will tire more quickly than larger breeds. It is advisable to start off by taking slow jogs of a few blocks, gradually increasing difficulty and distance as your pooch builds stamina. To keep your Dachshund from overheating and avoid potential health problems, remember to exercise in cool temperatures and leave plenty of time for rest.
Dachshunds are often considered a great breed to have around children. They are generally very sociable, affectionate, and loyal. Their small size and friendly nature make them excellent playmates for children. Generally speaking, Dachshunds also require less exercise than some larger breeds, so they are better-suited for families with children who may not be able to provide a high level of physical activity. Dachshunds tend to be very intelligent and can easily learn basic commands, such as "no" and "stay".
Dachshunds can certainly be considered smart dogs! They are intelligent and may learn a variety of tricks and commands, and they respond quickly when stimulated. They are also known for their innate problem-solving abilities, which helps them to stay out of trouble and adjust to different settings. Additionally, they have an unrealistically good sense of smell and a strong instinct for self-preservation, both of which are useful for escaping difficult situations. Dachshunds can also be demanding and stubborn, demonstrating a unique combination of intelligence and independent-mindedness.
