Questions & Answers
Dachshunds are a breed of dog belonging to the hound group of canines. They originated in Germany in the early 1700s and were bred to hunt a variety of small game including rabbits, badgers and other burrowing animals. Dachshunds are especially known for their long, slender body and short legs which give them the unique appearance they are known for today. These dogs come in a variety of colors including red, black and tan and can range in size from miniature to standard.
While there is no definitive answer to this question since all individuals may have a different reaction to a pet's presence in their home, it is possible that having a Dachshund in your home could cause allergies. Allergies can be triggered by pet dander (dead skin cells, saliva, or urine) as well as by the pet's fur. If you have a Dachshund, it's important to maintain consistent grooming and cleaning habits to help reduce the risk of triggering an allergic reaction.
Dachshunds are a unique breed due to their long bodies and short legs, so they require an equally unique diet. Generally, their stomachs are best services with an adult and puppy-specific food that is marked as low-fat on the label and features quality ingredients like complex carbs, healthy proteins, and healthy fats. Additionally, foods fortified with omega-3 fatty acids, glucosamine, and chondroitin can help support digestive health and joint health. Avoid foods with artificial additives, fillers, and lots of sugar.
Before getting a Dachshund, it is important to make sure you have all the essentials in order to keep them healthy and safe. Essential items to have on hand include a comfortable bed that matches their body size, a collar with an ID tag, a leash, food and water bowls, high-quality food and treats, a crate with a comfortable blanket, and pet-safe cleaning supplies. It is also important to have toys for your Dachshund that will encourage them to play and stay active.
Dachshunds are actually a part of a wider category of dogs known as 'Toy Breeds' and are not considered big dogs. They can range in size from 8 to 32 pounds, though some dachshunds can be larger. Despite their small size, they are extremely loyal, full of energy and exceptionally smart. Dachshunds also adapt to living in both apartments and homes with yards and are great companions for people of all ages.
Dachshunds are lively dogs who need at least an hour of exercise daily. A combination of walks, games, playtime, and even a session of swimming can satisfy their exercise needs. It is important to introduce exercise to puppies slowly so that they build up to more intensive activities; this will help to prevent joint and back problems, which can be common amongst dachshunds. To make exercise interesting and fun, it's a good idea to switch up the activities that you do with them.
Dachshunds can, in general, be great family companions and get along well with kids. They are an energetic breed and typically enjoy the company of playful children. However, as with any breed, it's important to supervise children when they are around the dachshund to protect both the dog and the kids. The dachshund should also be well-socialized so it can get used to the presence of other children. If a dachshund is properly socialized, it will typically be gentle and patient with kids.
Dachshunds are known to be bright and alert, making them an intelligent breed. Although they may not be the smartest breed on the planet, they possess an eagerness to learn from their surroundings and from their owners. Dachshunds tend to figure out how to get what they want, which makes them relatively smart to understand basic commands and respond to commands quickly. This intelligence is coupled with their strong will and makes them a challenge to train. They respond well to consistent training and a positive attitude from their owners which keeps them engaged in the process.
