Questions & Answers
Dachshunds are a very special breed and classified as a member of the hound group in the American Kennel Club's breed classification system. The American Kennel Club describes a hound as a "dog [that] usually hunts alone or in a small pack. They have keen scenting ability and follow a game's trail with great determination to locate the source of the scent.” Dachshunds specialize in hunting small animals like badgers and rabbits, though their size prevents them from being good swimmers and makes them poor outdoor explorers.
Managing allergies with Dachshunds requires reducing the amount of allergens in your living area. Regularly grooming and bathing your pet will help reduce pollen, dust, and other allergens that they could be bringing into your home. Additionally, removing carpets, and other fabrics that could collect allergens may reduce the amount of allergens in the air. It's also important to properly groom your dachshunds outside and avoid taking them into allergens-prone areas. If needed, talk to your veterinarian about medications to help reduce skin sensitivities or other allergic reactions.
Feeding your Dachshund the right food is important for maintaining their health and well-being. Ideally, you should give them high-quality, pet-specific food that's designed for their age, size, and activity level. It is important to be mindful of the daily caloric requirements of your pet, avoiding overfeeding, and also ensuring they receive the correct balance of proteins, fats, and carbohydrates. To ensure your Dachshund has the required balance of nutrients, make sure the wet and dry food you are providing contains enough vitamins, minerals, and other vital nutrients.
When getting a Dachshund, it's essential to make sure you have the necessary items to make for a positive experience. You'll need food and water dishes, a collar and leash, a bed or crate, a brush, puppy pads and a microchip to ensure your pup is secure. Toys are also a great option for entertainment and to help channel their energy in the right direction.
Dachshunds generally range in size from miniature (less than 11 pounds) to standard (over 16 pounds). Miniature Dachshunds are typically about 8-9 inches tall, while standard Dachshunds are about 9-10 inches tall at the shoulder. Depending on the variety, both standard and miniature Dachshunds typically range between 8-10 pounds for adults. When it comes to length, a standard or miniature Dachshund typically ranges from 8-9 inches in length at the shoulder.
Depending on the age of your Dachshund, the amount of time you should walk him/her will differ. Generally, for a healthy adult Dachshund, it's best to take them for a walk at least 15 minutes each day. This will help keep them mentally stimulated and in shape. You could even break this time up into 2 or 3 walks of 5-10 minutes each throughout the day. Dogs need mental and physical stimulation, and walking is the perfect way to provide this for Dachshunds.
Dachshunds can make wonderful family companions when they are properly socialized and trained. These small dogs are usually friendly and affectionate around people, including children. While they can get along well with kids, they are also known to sometimes be too energetic and jumpy, so extra care should be taken when a Dachshund is around children.
Training your dachshund should take roughly about 30-45 minutes a day. If you are just starting to train them, you should increase the duration gradually and break up the training into multiple, shorter sessions throughout the day. Formal training sessions should be held about three times a day, with 10 minutes of play and reward after each session. Monitor your dog's energy level, as too much training can cause stress and lead to poor results. Be sure to mix up different activities, such as agility training, obedience, and tricks in order to keep the activity interesting and diminish boredom.
