Questions & Answers
Dachshunds are classified as a member of the Hound Group in the American Kennel Club, making them part of a larger group of scent hounds. These dogs come in a variety of shapes and sizes, with their long backs and short legs allowing them to have great levels of stamina when following a scent. Dachshunds have short coats that can range from smooth and sleek to long and wirey, with a wide array of colors and patterns to choose from. This unique breed is known for its loving and loyal nature, and makes a wonderful companion for people of all ages.
Dachshunds are not hypoallergenic. They do still have a coat that produces a lot of dander, which is a common allergen. Furthermore, they shed quite a bit of hair, and this debris can also bring on allergies in some people. While breeds are often said to be hypoallergenic, there is no guarantee that any animal won't trigger allergies. Ultimately, it's best to visit a shelter to get a feel for how these dogs may interact with someone who suffers from allergies.
Dachshunds are small dogs that need special diets to keep them healthy. A balanced diet with proteins, carbohydrates, and fats is essential. Make sure the food you feed your Dachshund is high-quality and specifically made for this breed. When it comes to type of food, it is best to feed your Dachshund dry kibble as these foods provide adequate quantities of essential nutrients. You can also include non-processed treats such as sliced vegetables, fruits, and kidney beans, but do not replace regular meals with them.
Preparing for a new Dachshund should include gather as much information about this breed as possible. Doing so will allow you to develop a better understanding of their needs and behavior that is unique to Dachshunds. Making sure your home is safe, secure, and prepared for the new arrival is essential. This includes being aware of any hazardous items or spaces to which the dog must not have access. Providing the ultimate food and lifestyle for your new addition is also important, so looking into high-quality diets and choosing a vet are important steps.
Dachshunds come in three sizes: Standard, Miniature, and Cani-Sports. Standard dachshunds are generally 16 to 32 pounds and usually range in height from 8 to 9 inches. Miniature dachshunds are smaller, weighing only 11 pounds or less with a height between 5 and 8 inches. The Cani-Sports class is a newly-developed cross between a dachshund and a miniature pinscher that has been bred to weigh 15 to 25 pounds with a height of 8 to 10 inches.
Dachshunds are indeed active dogs that enjoy plenty of exercise and activities. Whether it's a brisk walk around the block or a more lengthy jog, these short-legged, long-bodied dogs can keep up with the best. Not only that, they are also great playmates with young children and other small pets. These dogs thrive on affection and time spent with their owners, so providing daily exercise opportunities will help keep them happy and healthy. Dachshunds can become easily bored, so introducing games and alternate activities is recommended, such as walks, retrieval and agility.
Generally, Dachshunds are quite compatible with children. Dachshunds are an immensely loyal breed and most of them will become devoted to their families, making them excellent playmates for children. Socialization and training will be key, though. With a kind and consistent hand the owner will help the Dachshund learn that it's okay for children to handle them, as well as help to prevent any behavior that could potentially be dangerous for kids. Generally, Dachshunds have wonderful temperaments and, with the right environment, blend well with newcomers, including children.
Absolutely! Dachshunds are incredibly intelligent dogs, often ranking highly across measures of working intelligence, problem-solving, and obedience. They are often highly intuitive when it comes to understanding their owners, and can pick up on commands relatively quickly with the proper training. They have a reputation for being strong-willed, but this is likely due to their independent nature, which can be beneficial in certain situations.
