Questions & Answers
Dachshunds are affectionately known as "hotdogs" due to their long body and stubby legs. An interesting fact about Dachshunds is that they were originally bred to hunt badgers because of their resilience. They have a strong sense of smell and an independent streak that makes them incredibly effective hunters. They are one of the smallest breeds of "hound dogs", weighing typically no more than 20-32 lbs and typically standing between 16-32 inches tall.
Managing allergies with Dachshunds is best done through proper grooming and vacuuming regularly, as they are prone to shedding. Wiping them down often with a damp cloth or pet wipes can help reduce the amount of airborne allergens caused by dander and salon clippers can keep their fur at a reasonable length. Although most experts suggest against the use of bathing too frequently for any dog breed to prevent skin irritation, if allergies are severe then spot-treating specific areas with hypoallergenic shampoos can help.
Feeding your Dachshund should be done carefully to ensure their health. Generally speaking, it's best to avoid giving Dachshunds table scraps fed from you or another person as this can encourage begging and obesity. Additionally, high-fat items such as bacon, sausage, hamburgers and hot dogs should be avoided. Xylitol, a sweetener used in many foods such as gum, candy, baked goods and some diet foods, can be fatal to Dachshunds, so these items should never be given to them.
While Dachshunds generally have few special requirements, they do benefit from positive reinforcement, regular exercise, and a balanced diet. Properly socializing your Dachshund is also important as they are an outgoing breed and need to be comfortable around people and other pets. In addition, it is important for the long-term health of your Dachshund to ensure he or she is groomed on a regular basis. Grooming should include brushing and checking for lumps, bumps, or anything else that seems out of the ordinary.
Dachshunds are small, sturdy dogs that range in size from miniature to standard. Generally, the miniature variety will weigh around 11 pounds or less, while the standard size can weigh up to 32 pounds. They typically stand 8-9 inches tall at the shoulders, but the miniature Dachshund is usually between 5-6 inches tall. Despite their size, they are strong and known for their muscular chests, short legs, and long, low body shape. They may not take up much space, but they are big personalities in a small package!
Dachshunds are very active little dogs that require a good amount of exercise. Generally speaking, they need between 30 to 45 minutes of physical activity each day, depending on their age, health, and size. This could include playtime, walks, or trips to the park. Regardless of the activity, it's important that the exercise is both mentally and physically stimulating. Additionally, being in the sun can be beneficial for their overall health. However, it's important to monitor the amount of sun exposure and avoid overstretching their legs due to their unique body shape.
Absolutely! Dachshunds make wonderful family dogs. They are loyal, loving, and affectionate with their people, even with children. They are also an intelligent breed and respond well to training and obedience commands. In addition to being good with people, Dachshunds also get along great with other household pets such as cats and other dogs. They are protective of their family and make excellent watchdogs, so they are a great addition if you are looking for an extra feel of security in your home.
Dachshunds are amongst the most intelligent of breeds. Though not naturally talented in obedience, they have the capacity to understand commands quickly, forming tight bonds with their owners. With an active mind and plenty of energy, they are incredibly curious and love digging and exploring qualities that signify intelligence. Additionally, they are incredibly loyal and responsive to human contact; not only seeing their human as an authority figure, but also as their leader. All in all, Dachshunds are certainly considered smart dogs.
