Questions & Answers
Dachshunds are loyal, enthusiastic, and affectionate. They are also one of the oldest dog breeds, having been around since the 15th century and were originally bred to hunt badger, hence their name which is German for badger-hound. They come in two sizes, standard and miniature, and three coat types, smooth, long, and wirehaired. They generally live between 12 and 16 years and are playful as adults, which is unusual for a breed their size. Adding to their charm is their short stature, large barrel chests, and longer back legs.
There is no definitive answer to whether or not Dachshunds will cause allergies. Allergies vary from person to person, and one individual may experience an allergic reaction to a Dachshund while another might not. People who suffer from pet allergies should take precautions when introducing any pet into their home, including a Dachshund, as all animals produce dander and saliva that may trigger allergic reactions. If you are concerned that you may experience an allergic reaction, you can always consult your doctor or an allergist to determine the best course of action.
Dachshunds are active, energetic dogs that need the proper nutrition to stay healthy and happy. Finding the right food for a Dachshund is important, as it should provide the optimal combination of proteins, fats, carbohydrates, and other nutrients. Some veterinarians recommend food specifically designed for small dogs, while others suggest a food designed specifically for Dachshunds because of their unique nutritional needs. Dry food is generally the most recommended type, as it is less likely to cause obesity.
The most important rule for a happy and healthy pup is to be a patient and responsible pup parent for your Dachshund. It is important to give your pup adequate exercise, but also provide them with plenty of playtime and bonded time with you. As Dachshunds have a habit of becoming easily bored, make sure to offer them stimulating activities such as chew toys and hide-and-seek games. You should also stay on a regular feeding schedule and protect your pup’s sensitive digestive system with ample amounts of fresh, high-quality dog food.
Dachshunds typically reach heights of 8 to 9 inches when fully grown, and weigh in at 15 to 30 pounds. Because they come in three size varieties, it is important to consider which size will fit into your home and lifestyle the best. Miniature Dachshunds are the smallest, and usually weigh less than 11 pounds while Standard Dachshunds can be up to 32 pounds. That said, they are a remarkably adaptable breed of dog, and as long as they have plenty of exercise and attention, their size should be no issue.
Dachshunds can be trained to enjoy swimming and some may even find it rewarding. Generally speaking, dachshunds tend to be less interested in swimming than other breeds, as their long bodies and short legs make it more difficult for them to keep afloat in the water. However, with the right guidance and patient instruction, many Dachshunds can learn to enjoy swimming, and even become proficient at it over time.
Dachshunds can get along with other pets, such as cats and other small dogs, if the introduction is managed carefully and done so gradually. It's important to ensure that the environment is safe and comfortable, and that the pets have enough space to keep them from feeling crowded and confined. The Dachshund must also be adequately socialized and, if possible, the other pet should have received socialization training beforehand.
It is recommended that Dachshunds are trained for at least 15 minutes per day. This could involve a short walk and a few fun training sessions focused on obedience or agility. The amount of training per day will depend on what activities you are looking to do. For example, if you are looking to do some obedience or agility competitions, then you need to up the amount of daily training that you do. It is important to note that consistency is also key. It is better to do a short training session every day than a long session once a week.
