Questions & Answers
A Dachshund is a breed of small to medium-sized hound-type dogs that originated in Germany. They are incredibly friendly, intelligent and loyal, and would make an excellent companion for both people and other animals. They average between 8-11 inches at the shoulder and can weigh up to 32 pounds, but they can also be as small as 8 pounds.Dachshunds were first bred in the 16th century in Germany to search for badgers and other burrowing creatures.
Although there is no definitive answer, most experts tend to believe Dachshunds are not hypoallergenic. A lot of people dealing with allergies often turn to hypoallergenic breeds because they produce less dander than other breeds. However, Dachshunds, like most other breeds, can still produce allergens that can trigger an allergic reaction. It's best to consult a doctor or allergist to determine what type of breed may be the best fit for you if you suffer from allergies.
A proper diet for a Dachshund should include proteins, carbohydrates, and fats. Protein sources such as lean meats, chicken, fish, and eggs provide essential nutrients and amino acids that support their muscle tone and overall health. High-quality carbohydrate sources like whole grains, oats, and brown rice of energy and vitamins. Fats offer essential fatty acids and a concentrated source of energy. There are also special formulated meals for Dachshunds available in either dry or canned forms offering balanced nutrition specifically designed for their needs.
Before getting a Dachshund, it is important to prepare the supplies your pup will need to be happy and healthy. You will need to get a comfortable crate, leash, collar and tags, food and water bowls, and a bed. You will also need to purchase food formulated specifically for small dogs, as it is designed to meet their unique nutritional needs. If you plan to take your pup on walks or to the dog park, a harness and doggie poop bags are a must.
Dachshunds can vary in size depending on their breed, but generally speaking, they range from 8 to 35 pounds. They can reach lengths of 16 to 32 inches from the tip of their nose to the tip of their tail. Dachshunds come in two sizes: standard and miniature. The standards are usually larger than the miniatures, usually weighing between 16 to 32 pounds and reaching lengths of 16 to 32 inches. The miniatures usually weigh between 8 to 11 pounds, and reach lengths of 10 to 12 inches long.
Dachshunds may not be renowned for their swimming abilities, though many can enjoy a leisurely dip in the water provided the proper precautions are taken. Since they are a short, stocky breed, their natural adipose layer of insulation can help keep them warm while swimming; however, this doesn't mean they are the same as true water-loving breeds such as retrievers. Dachshunds can benefit from the water if given healthy interactions with it that develop slowly from puppyhood, teaching them proper safety and comfort levels so that they can safely explore the water.
Dachshunds can be good with kids, depending on how they are raised and treated. Dachshunds are small in size, but can be quite active and demanding. For this reason, it's important that children respect them and are aware of their size. With proper socialization and training, they can be generally good-natured around other people, including kids. It also helps if both the pet and the kids are well supervised so that potential problems can be avoided.
Dachshunds can be incredibly intelligent, and the longer they spend time with humans, the smarter they become. They are often quick to learn commands and tricks and can thrive in challenging situations. They also have excellent problem-solving skills and tend to bond strongly with their people. Despite their diminutive size, Dachshunds can be remarkably independent and adaptable, often having a greater understanding of their owners than they give them credit for.
