Questions & Answers
Dachshunds are a unique and beloved breed of dog from Germany. These small dogs are in the hound group and characterized by their long, low-slung bodies and short legs. They were bred for their purpose of burrowing and searching dens for small animals such as rabbits, and to follow and flush them out or out of their dens. Dachshunds are typically devoted, bold, and courageous -traits that prove advantageous to their original hunting and working backgrounds.
Managing allergies caused by Dachshunds is possible with proper preventive steps. Pet owners should vacuum and dust their living areas regularly and during especially allergy-heavy seasons. In addition, owners should look for signs of discomfort in their dog when petting or performing grooming tasks, as it might suggest an allergic reaction. Grooming should also be done frequently to keep the dachshund's coat groomed and free from dust and dander, which can act as triggers for allergies.
Dachshunds typically eat a commercial dry pet food that has been specifically formulated to meet their nutritional needs. It is important to avoid overfeeding your Dachshund, as this can lead to weight issues. Some Dachshunds also enjoy wet food which can be used as an occasional treat. It is best to provide your Dachshund with a balanced diet including fresh fruits and vegetables, a quality dog food, and occasional treats.
Preparing your home for a new Dachshund is important. To get started, make sure you puppy-proof your home and purchase all the necessary items for your pup, such as food, dishes, a leash and collar, a bed, a crate, and toys. Additionally, research where your local veterinarians are located and make sure you are familiar with the breed's common health issues. Additionally, consider enrolling your pup in obedience classes or positive reinforcement training to ensure proper socialization.
Dachshunds are known for varying in size based on their breed type. Standard, Miniature, and Kaninchen (Rabbit) varieties of the breed are recognized internationally. Generally, the full-grown Standard Dachshund measures from 8-9 inches tall and from 16-32 pounds. The full-grown Miniature Dachshund measures from 5-6 inches tall and from 11-16 pounds. The Kaninchen variety is the smallest and measures from 4-5 inches tall and is 8-11 pounds in weight.
Generally speaking, Dachshunds have a natural affinity towards water; however, they may not necessarily enjoy swimming. Not all dogs of this breed are fans of getting into the pool due to a variety of reasons, like fear of the deep end, not wanting to get their coat soaked, or simply preferring not to be in the water. It really depends on the individual Dachshund; some may love to take a dip, while others may not.
Dachshunds can usually co-exist happily with kids, especially when they are raised together from a young age. The breed is known for being a generally friendly, alert, and brave companion. While Dachshunds can be shy or suspicious of strangers, they are often quite protective of children. As long as training is consistent and the pup is properly socialized, Dachshunds can make great canine companions for kids.
Dachshunds are very intelligent dogs, often ranking amongst the top 10 most intelligent breeds. With training, dachshunds excel in obedience and agility tasks. These loyal and energetic pups are also very quick learners. They can even be taught to use the litter box! As one of the cleverest dogs, they possess a natural aptitude for problem-solving and are rarely bored. They relish in attention and will stick close to their owners. However, dachshunds also like to get into trouble, so they do require firm and consistent discipline.
