Questions & Answers
Dachshunds are small dogs that often come in two very distinct varieties: the longhaired or smooth-haired variety. Bred to roam badger dens, these distinctive dogs make wonderful companions and are members of the Hound Group of breeds as categorized by the American Kennel Club. Dachshunds are known for their playful attitude and compassionate nature, and have been described as independent, loyal and resilient. Although they may sometimes be shy or reserve with strangers, they are curious and adapt so well to house and city life they are frequently found in urban dwellings.
Whether or not a Dachshund will cause you to have allergies depends on your own individual susceptibility to allergies. For instance, if you have allergic reactions to other animals, then it is likely that you may experience some form of allergic reaction if you come in contact with a Dachshund. However, most people do not experience any signs of allergies when around a Dachshund, as it is a hypoallergenic breed. Furthermore, the breed has a sleek, short coat which does not shed much or release dander, which is a common allergen trigger.
Dachshunds typically eat a diet that consists of commercial dry kibble and specialized treats. It is best to consult with your veterinarian to develop a balanced diet specific to your pup's age and any medical concerns they may have. Dry kibble should contain a combination of proteins, carbohydrates, fats, vitamins, minerals, and other important nutrients. The amount of food should be based on the individual's size, activity level, and overall health. Adding wet food, non-starchy vegetables, and nutritional supplements, such as fish and flaxseed oil, also may be beneficial.
Before bringing your new Dachshund home, it is important to create a safe and comfortable environment for them. Make sure to doggie-proof your house by removing any sharp or small items that they may be able to ingest. Set up a space for your pup with a comfortable bed, a few toys, and freshly washed bowls for food and water. Also, be sure to get baby gates to restrict access to certain areas. If you plan on crate training, set up a crate with an inviting bedding.
The size of a Dachshund puppy may vary, depending on the breed type. Generally, a full-grown Dachshund will be between 8 and 9 inches tall at the shoulder, and weigh between 16 and 32 pounds. Miniature Dachshunds are usually smaller, typically about 5 to 6 inches in height and 11 pounds or less when fully grown. Adult size can usually be predicted based on the size of a pup's parents and siblings. Your breeder should be able to provide you with more information that will help you to estimate the future size of your puppy.
It is not a universal truth that all Dachshunds like to swim, however some absolutely do enjoy being in the water. Some Dachshunds enjoy cool water temperatures, while others may take a while to get comfortable enough to explore the swimming experience. Dachshunds that are bred specifically for water sports competitions tend to be stronger, more eager swimmers. Some Dachshunds are able to swim naturally, due to their body type, while other need extra help and accessories like doggie life vests.
Yes, Dachshunds typically get along very well with kids. Dachshunds are a friendly and loyal breed, and have a great capacity for love and affection. They are very affectionate and friendly with their owners, as well as other people and children. While they can be independent thinkers and can be stubborn when it comes to training, they are generally considered to be gentle and patient with kids. They have a lot of energy, which can be a great companion for children.
Dachshunds have a reputation for being smart. In fact, many owners will say their pets outsmart them at times! Limited genetic variation can breed a stubbornness in Dachshunds, but with proper training, they can quickly learn behavioral and obedience cues. Their short legs give them surprising agility and their intelligence helps them pick up a variety of tricks and commands. Dachshunds can even be trained to play hide-and-seek and can be taught to recognize when they're not being paid attention to.
