Can Dogs Detect Covid-19?

The sense of smell of dogs is very useful, they can have 100,000 times the smelling ability of humans and they can sniff out explosives or drugs. Therefore, these pooches are the closest friends of police officers. Scientists at France’s National Veterinary School have revealed that dogs are experts at sniffing out COVID-19, with an accuracy close to PCR tests.

In Dubai, specially trained police dogs were used to assist police to detect passengers who have SARS-CoV-2 arriving at Dubai International Airport. Similar research is underway at the University of Helsinki, Finland.

In the near future, it is likely that our four-legged friends will sniff out COVID-19 at airports to detect the SARS-CoV-2 virus among travelers. With the special study, sweet samples from the armpits of 335 people were tested by PCR and there are 109 people who were positive. Nine dogs were trained to sniff out signs of SARS-CoV-2 infection can indicate positive samples with an impressive sensitivity of 97%.

Of course, using trained dogs is the basis for supporting rapid tests to detect infected people at the earliest. However, we still need a PCR test to determine whether a person is infected with the SARS-CoV-2 virus (COVID-19).

On another research conducted by the University of Veterinary Medicine Hannover in Germany, published in July 2020. Eight dogs were trained for a week to detect SARS-CoV-2 in saliva or tracheal secretions from people with COVID-19. The research found that the dogs determined the difference between positive and negative samples. On average, dogs can identify correctly 82.63% of positive samples as positive and 96.35% of negative samples as negative.

There is still a lot of research needed to conduct before applying widely in airports, but this may offer a new hope to detect infected people in time, prevent the pandemic as soon as possible.

Can Dachshunds be police dogs to detect COVID-19?

Dachshund is a small and may be a tough dog breed. Used to be bred to hunt badgers both above and below ground. As one of the top 10 dog breeds have the best sense of smell and this dog breed is very smart, the dachshund is an ideal choice to assist police officers to detect COVID-19. However, these four-legged friends are not easy to train to be police dogs because they are so mischievous. So they should better be owned at home.

Why Do Dachshunds Often Wag Their Tails?

Dachshund owners often think that puppies wag their tails only to show that they are happy. However, that is not necessarily true. Dachshunds or other dogs often use their tails to express emotions and it depends on the position of the tail so that we can understand our dog’s emotions. It is also important to understand the mood of the dog through the movement of the tail so that we can understand more about our dog puppies and also know what we can do properly things for our dogs.

They are curious

When the tail is outstretched, there must be something that intrigues the dog and the dog wants to discover it right away.

There are many studies showing that the dachshunds or other dogs can express their emotions beyond the position of the tail. For example, when they are wagging their tails to the right, they are feeling positive and conversely. When they are waving to the left, they are feeling uncomfortable about something. This is true when the left hemisphere controls the right side of the body, associated with positive behaviors or emotions, and vice versa for the right brain.

If the tails of these 4-legged friends are raised and wagged, it means they’re ready to do so.

When they are ready to play, the puppy eyes will stare wildly and blink.

Tail between legs

When scared, in pain, or uncomfortable, the doxie dog will clip his tail between his hind legs. Therefore, if their tails are often in such condition, you should take them to the vet.

Ears standing up

Going to a new place, dachshunds will feel very curious. At this point, their ears will stand up.

Ears down

However, when frightened, one or both of their ears will hang down. This happens when they meet strangers or people who scare them.

Opening mouth wide

When dachshunds open their mouths, this means they are getting nagged with anger. This action usually takes place when they encounter strange dachshunds. However, humans who are attached, they open their mouths.

Face licking

Licking is a sign of stress, depression, or anger.

Showing teeth

Showing teeth but not growling is the way dachshunds protect their territory. For example, protect your diet.

Eyes open wide

Dachshund’s eyes are also the soul’s window. When they open their eyes wide and give off a cool look, they are paying attention to you. Remember to respond to this friendly act!

Lying with their stomach up.

Feel happy when dachshunds roll and expose their stomachs in front of you because they have to trust and want to please you, so they act like that. In return for the loyalty of friends, rub their bellies.

Rubbing their face on your knees.

To attract attention, dachshunds often rub their faces on their owners’ knees. That proves they need you. Pressing your nose into your hands means they want to be pampered.

Putting their feet on your knees

If your sausage dog puts his foot on your knee, looks smug, look him in the eye and slowly give up his paws because this action means they’re complacent.

Putting up one leg

A raised leg proves that the dachshund wants to call you. Maybe it’s because they’re hungry, want to play, or just find something interesting.

Turning their back on you

To show their confidence, dachshunds will turn their backs on you.

Dachshunds shake their bodies as a way to relieve stress, such as after bathing.

Dachshunds – The Most Fictional Dogs

Special appearance of Dachshund

Body

Dachshunds are dogs with strange bodies, if you see them for the first time you will feel a bit confused because of the imbalance of their body parts. Their bodies are quite long, on the contrary, their four legs are quite short. When compared to the body length, it is much shorter. Because of such physical characteristics, they are called sausage.

At first, this breed is usually used for hunting, their bodies were quite suitable. can burrow deep into the cave to catch rabbits, mice, and so on. Thanks to their small body, they do this job so well.

In additions, they have a quite long head with deeply sunken abdominals, their chest muscles are large and extremely toned. Moreover, their eyes are slightly protruding, the ears are drooping, make them look extremely cute.

Size

Dachshund dogs are divided into 3 basic types and they mostly differ only in body size. This is also the basis for you to choose which breed you should buy.

Standard Dachshund has a height of about 30-35 cm and weighs 9-15kg when mature.

Miniature Dachshund (small): This is a hybrid Dachshund, they are the result of a purebred Dachshund with the German Spaniel, so they are slightly smaller in size with a height of about 20-25 cm and a weight of 4-5 kg.

Toy Dachshund (toys): Once fully grew, they only weigh about 15-20 cm and the weight is quite light only about 3.5 kg. Because of their small size, they are known as the mini Dachshund. These dogs were bred from purebred Dachshunds with Terriers and Schnauzers.

The Fur And The Color

Thanks to the coat of each baby, the experts have analyzed and divided into 3 basic types of dogs:

Long-haired Dachshund dog

Short-haired Dachshund dog

Fluffy-haired Dachshund dog

Most of the dogs’ fur is quite smooth and shiny. Also, they are known as monochrome dogs. Because the color of the hair on their body is almost black or bronze brown. Parts such as the muzzle, tummy and 4 legs are brighter, yellow or chestnut.

However, there are a few types that are mixed in two colors, but these are quite rare. Some basic colors such as chocolate, dark black and light brown, …

What are the personalities of a Dachshund dog?

Today the Dachshund has a much smaller body size than their ancestors. However, their personalities remain and retain their outstanding identities as they used to:

Activity and mischievous

Dachshund puppies are often enjoyed being walked out, and they especially hate being kept indoors for too long, especially in tight spaces. They also enjoy digging sand and playing frisbee, they also enjoy hunting small animals.

Besides, if you do not chain them or look after them, the possibility that they will run away from home will happen often. Besides, Dachshunds barked loudly even though their bodies were extremely small.

Braveness, strength and being quite shy

Because this dog has an ancient origin as a hunting breed, they retain their extremely brave and strong nature. They may even be ready to battle with opponents that are much larger than them. If they realize that the owner is in danger, they will quickly go to rescue.

However, they are extremely shy and even afraid of strangers. Especially they do not want non-family members to touch their bodies and their house-keeping ability is also very poor.

Loyalty and love for children

The dachshund has an extremely noble quality that is very loyal to their owners, they only worship one owner. Therefore, you should avoid raising an adult one because they will still remember the old owner and disobeying you, even expressing an opposing attitude.

If your family has young children and adopted Dachshund breeds, you will not need to worry about letting them play together. Simply because this dog is very swaddling and extremely friendly. They like to run, play or chase with the kids. However, you should still control the situation to avoid unfortunate events.

Being too stubborn and a little hard to teach

Dachshund is not a docile dog and obeys its owner. They even deliberately protested if they were not satisfied with their owner’s orders. For example, if you forbid them from entering the bedroom, in the opposite, the curious nature will make them find a way to get in, especially when you are not at home.

Because of their unpredictability, you will have a lot of difficulties in teaching and training this dog. You need to tell them who is the owner, what they are not allowed to do and the commands they need to follow.

So when they are 2-3 months old, you need to start training them. The more they grow, the more aware they are and they will become more stubborn and destructive, extremely difficult to put on the framework.

For those who have dachshunds in their home, they will understand why dogs become a member of the family. Dachshunds are not only loyal to their owner, but they are also great friends, soul mates, people even said that “You might not have a lover but you must have a dog”.

It seems like between us and dachshund puppies, there is an invisible bond. When we live together for a while, we will feel like those puppies can understand everything we say.

Recently, scientists have found the evidence shows that this loyal friend really understands what we are talking.

Researchers in Hungary have taken a brain scan of puppies to find out how they handle information when they heard it. As a result, their left hemisphere specializes in processing the words they hear, while the right hemisphere specializes in decoding the intonation that the voice emits, like a human.

Moreover, dachshunds are becoming more sensitive to the compliments and cheerful intonation spoke by their owners. The boring, evenly words, regardless of whether they are excited or sad, will have no similar effect.

So if have the habit of complimenting your puppies, keep doing it more often. Everyone loves to be praised, not only puppies.

According to The Time News, the study was performed on almost Swedes, it’s probably true for some European countries where there are the same standard of living, culture, and dog ownership thinking… But are Asia or other countries culture the same results? That is still a question for researchers to solve in the future.

In addition, CNN News stated that although the study provided strong evidence of health benefits when owning dachshunds. But it had not resolved the question that whether it is depended on age, living style, living condition…

Dachshunds are the rare breeds that, because of their small size, are good for both hunting and urban living. Therefore, they help their owner do more exercise and have a healthy lifestyle.

“When living in a cold environment, dachshunds will want to be walked by their owners. And in hot climates, they just want to be in the yard and do not want to go out. Besides, it also depends on the behavior and health of the people. It’s difficult to get the exact result when the study performed in Sweden and applied for the US” said Fall, veterinarian and epidemiologist professor at school Swedish university

Some people have other opinions that when talking about relieving stress, many people like to own other dogs or even other animals like cats. And of course, these animal can help the owners have a good health.
