Questions & Answers
Dachshunds are truly unique and full of fun facts! For example, these friendly dogs are believed to be descendants of ancient breeds from Egypt, Greece and Rome. Dachshunds were initially bred to hunt badgers and other small animals and were therefore given their name, which translates to "badger dog" in German. It has even been suggested that Dachshunds once had a larger stature than they do today and were typically used to hunt larger animals, such as wild boar.
No, Dachshunds are not hypoallergenic. Although they are a low-shedding breed of dog, they still have dander which can trigger allergies in sensitive people. Dachshunds also have an average coat that requires regular grooming, for which they must be bathed and brushed. Depending on the individual, the potential for aggravating allergies may be higher or lower. In order to determine whether or not a Dachshund is suitable for someone with allergies, it’s best to spend time with the breed before deciding.
Dachshunds typically require a balanced diet made up of quality food full of whole grains and proteins. They may require more or less food depending on their activity level and age, and may need more calories if they're spayed/neutered or overweight. Since they're prone to becoming overweight, they should be fed smaller, more frequent meals rather than free-feeding. It's important to also provide your dog with plenty of water and try to limit their intake of table scraps as most human food isn't suitable for them.
Becoming the best puppy parent for your Dachshund requires dedication and patience. It is important to provide them with plenty of affection, as Dachshunds are very social dogs that need regular attention. Make sure to provide plenty of mental and physical stimulation through age-appropriate play, walks, and mental games. Sticking to a regular feeding and exercise schedule will help keep your Dachshund healthy and provide necessary structure.
The size of your Dachshund pup depends on its breed and gender. Generally, adult dogs of the standard Dachshund breed can reach up to 9 inches tall and 16 pounds while miniature Dachshunds grow up to about 5-6 inches tall and weigh up to 11 pounds. However, like most puppies, your Dachshund pup may exhibit rapid growth at the start and then grow steadily until maturity. Some pups may exhibit delayed growth after maturity, however, they usually always reach their eventual standardized size when fully grown.
Generally speaking, it is a good idea to make sure you give your Dachshund at least 30 minutes of daily exercise. Typically, this includes walking your pup for 15-20 minutes in the morning and then, if possible, another 15-20 minutes in the evening. This will ensure they get enough physical activity and mental stimulation to remain happy and healthy. Remember, this is a small breed so their energy levels may require shorter walks or longer breaks throughout the day. Additionally, we suggest regularly changing up your route to ensure your pup has a chance to explore and stimulate their senses.
Dachshunds typically do get along with kids, as long as they are properly trained and socialized. Dachshunds, also known as "weiner dogs" or "sausage dogs", are generally friendly and loyal. They can be quite patient and tolerant when it comes to little kids. Like any other breed, however, patience and socialization are key. It is important for the kids to be taught how to appropriately interact with the dog and the adults should supervise the children at all times. It is also helpful to introduce the dog slowly to new situations.
Training a Dachshund is not necessarily easy, however it is certainly possible. It is important to understand that they can be particularly stubborn, and they may challenge you by testing your authority. Patience is essential when training, and try to keep your sessions short and meaningful in order to ensure that your Dachshund is able to retain what is being taught. Establishing a positive environment is key, as it allows your Dachshund to be open to learning without feeling threatened.
