Questions & Answers
Dachshunds are one of the most unique and interesting breeds around! Originating in Germany in the early 17th century, Dachshunds were bred to hunt small game like rabbits and badgers. With their elongated bodies, long legs, and sharp sense of smell they were well-suited for the task! They also tend to have a reputation for being mischievous. The determined nature and hardworking personalities of Dachshunds have made them adored by people everywhere.
No, Dachshunds are not hypoallergenic. As is the case with all pets, allergen levels will vary from animal to animal. However, Dachshunds have a double coat that tends to be thick, which means that they will generally shed fur; not only could this lead to higher allergen levels, but it could also mean that they would not be good candidates for people who are especially sensitive to pet dander and other allergens.
Dachshunds are susceptible to many health issues, so it is important to provide them with a balanced diet. Avoid feeding your Dachshund most human foods, including chocolate, onions, garlic, fruit seeds and pits (especially apricot, apple, cherry and peach), dairy, products containing xylitol, raw eggs, grapes and raisins, and meat from a bone. Additionally, look for high-quality dog food that is age, size and activity level-appropriate for your Dachshund.
When it comes to bringing up and taking care of your Dachshund, it's important to become a knowledgeable and prepared puppy parent. First and foremost, make sure to provide adequate nutrition and exercise for your pup, as this will help them to stay healthy and happy. Provide plenty of positive reinforcement when teaching your pup how to sit, stay, and walk on a leash. Additionally, make sure to provide a safe, comfortable, and quiet environment, and to check with your local veterinary office for advice and routine check-ups, vaccinations, and flea/tick preventatives.
The size of your Dachshund puppy can vary depending on a few factors, such as if you adopted a miniature, standard or rabbitsized Dachshund type. Generally speaking, miniature Dachshunds reach a full grown size of five to seven inches in height, while standard type sizes reach eight to nine inches. Rabbit-sized Dachshunds are the smallest of the group and are usually between five to six inches at maturity. Dachshunds tend to gain most of their size during the first year of life in order to reach their full height.
Dachshunds are highly active dogs that are full of energy and enthusiasm. They enjoy long walks and plenty of opportunity for play, and don’t do well if left alone for extended periods of time, as they need company and stimulation. This breed is also known for their high intelligence and is often very trainable. Dachshunds are brave and determined, and can often be quite crafty in pursuit of a goal, or keeping their minds active with a puzzle toy.
Dachshunds are often referred to as a "big dog in a small body," and with good reason. Dachshunds are certainly capable of making terrific family dogs. As with any other breed, how a Dachshund behaves as a family pet depends largely on how it is raised and trained. Those that are given special attention and nurturing will adapt well to a family lifestyle. They are loyal to their owners and can be an excellent companion for children, being patient and fun-loving.
Dachshunds are indeed smart dogs! They have been bred to be intelligent in order to hunt, so they are incredibly active in searching for prey and sniffing out clues. They can learn commands quickly and can be trained to do tricks. They also display a natural curiosity that motivates them to explore and interact with their environment. Above all, they are loyal and attentive to their owners, and have a strong emotional intelligence. All of these traits make them a shrewd and resourceful breed.
