Questions & Answers
Dachshunds are famously known for their long bodies and short legs, but they have many unique characteristics that make them special. Some fun facts about this breed are that their name actually comes from the German word meaning "badger dog" because the breed was originally bred to hunt badgers. Also, Dachshunds come in three sizes, standard, miniature, and tweenie, and four coat varieties, smooth, wirehaired, longhaired, and dapple. Additionally, Dachshunds often learn tricks quickly and are very loyal.
Unfortunately, Dachshunds are not hypoallergenic. While their short coats mean they're relatively low-maintenance in terms of grooming, they do still shed some fur and produce allergens like all other dogs. If you or someone in your family have allergies, you may want to look into breeds that have been bred specifically to be hypoallergenic such as a Poodle or a Bichon Frise.
Dachshunds should not be fed chocolate, grapes, raisins, alcohol, or any kind of nuts, as these items can be toxic. They should also not be overfed, as this can lead to health issues, such as obesity. Dachshunds can't digest high-fat foods like bacon, sausage, or hot dogs, so it's best to avoid giving them these foods. Furthermore, recipes containing raw or undercooked eggs, meat, or fish should not be fed to a Dachshund as these can lead to illness.
If you're welcoming a new Dachshund to your home, there are a few steps you should take to ensure a safe and comfortable living environment for your pup. First, make sure to puppy proof your home by removing anything you don't want them to get into or that may cause potential harm, like laundry tablets, small toys, and electrical cords. Second, be sure to provide them with a safe place to relax, sleep, and occasionally hide like a crate or kennel.
Dachshunds are often described as being long and low to the ground and they usually are! These small-to-medium-sized dogs can range from around 8-9 inches up to around 9-10 inches when measured from the shoulders to the floor. Depending on the breed, they normally weigh around 16-32 pounds. Dachshunds can be miniature, standard, or "tweenie" sized, too. The American Kennel Club (AKC) details that all three sizes should have the same appearance and character just a different size.
Dachshunds are not known to be avid swimmers, however it does not mean they cannot enjoy a dip in the pool or lake. Generally, they can be trained to swim and may even enjoy it, but it is important to not leave them unattended in the water to ensure their safety. Dachshunds often have longer bodies and limbs than other breeds of dogs, so their swimming ability is more limited due to their build.
Dachshunds are quite popular family dogs. With their compact size, alertness, and playful nature, they’re great at providing love and companionship for the whole family. They’re generally low-maintenance dogs that can get along well with different types of people and pets. Dachshunds have no problem adapting to apartment living and usually don’t need much exercising. Their inherent loyalty and protective nature make them great watchdogs. Dachshunds are friendly, curious, and full of personality, making them an engaging option for any family.
It really depends on the individual dog. Dachshunds are known for being smart and quick to learn, but training one is not necessarily easy. Each dog's personality and temperament should be taken into account when training and they may require different methods and techniques to be successful. Each dog responds differently to different methods so it is important to find what works best for your Dachshund. Additionally, it's important to remember that patience and consistency are key factors to successful training.
