Questions & Answers
Dachshunds are small hounds with long bodies and short legs. They come in short-haired, long-haired and wire-haired varieties and their coat colors vary from black and tan to red and black. They have a lively, friendly attitude and make wonderful family pets. Physically, Dachshunds aren't meant to jump up and down stairs, so pet owners should be mindful of this. They are also prone to back problems, so they should be exercised with caution.
Although dachshunds do not shed often, they are not considered hypoallergenic. This is because all breeds of dogs have allergens that can cause an allergic reaction in some people. The most common allergens are proteins found in dander, saliva, and urine. These proteins are released through the skin, fur, and breath of all dogs, including dachshunds. That being said, some pet owners who have allergies to dogs may find that dachshunds are less likely to cause an allergic reaction.
Dachshunds should not be given table scraps or large treats as these can cause them to gain too much weight. It is important for owners to research protein-rich ingredients and understand serving sizes for their breed of Dachshund. Additionally, they should not be given food items such as chocolate, onions, garlic, raisins, grapes, nuts, or coffee as these can be dangerous. Avoid bones and other raw treats that could be a choking hazard or cause blockages.
Yes, Dachshunds have certain requirements that should be taken into account when thinking about them as a pet. Primarily, they require regular exercise while the breed is small, they need to be able to run and play, so secure, safe space for play is essential. As a larger breed, they also require proper nutrition and should not be overfed. Keeping them groomed regularly is also a necessity, to help prevent matting or other skin problems.
Dachshunds come in two size varieties, standard and miniature. Standard Dachshunds typically weigh 16 to 32 pounds and stand 8 to 9 inches at the shoulder, while miniature Dachshunds usually weigh less than 11 pounds and stand 5 to 6 inches at the shoulder. Because of their long bodies, Dachshunds can also appear to be much bigger or longer than their height or weight would suggest. Additionally, the well-bred Dachshund will have good balance and structure regardless of height or weight.
Yes, you absolutely can take your Dachshund running, although it's important to be aware of the breed's specific needs. Since Dachshunds have short legs and long, flexible bodies, it's important to keep runs on the shorter side just a few minutes at a time and to avoid hard surfaces like pavement, which can be tough on their legs and backs. Additionally, because their short height and long body don't make them naturally good swimmers, it's important to avoid any open water that could present a drowning risk.
Dachshunds can be a great first-time pet for the right owner. They are considered loyal and playful dogs, and they have a lot of character. They make for great companions and can thrive in a variety of living situations. They do require some special considerations, however. Dachshunds have a high energy level and need plenty of exercise and activity to stay healthy and content. They are also known to bark quite a bit, so it may not be a great choice for those living in close quarters with their neighbors.
Dachshunds are typically very clever dogs and can be trained quite easily. Their ability to learn quickly and remember specific rules make them highly adaptable, trainable, and intelligent. Not only are Dachshunds smart in terms of learning commands, they also demonstrate intuitive problem solving skills, showing themselves as excellent contenders. With the right owner and regularly-scheduled training, a Dachshund can be an incredibly smart and obedient pet.
