Questions & Answers
Dachshunds belong to the hound group of breeds and are recognized by the American Kennel Club. This breed is also known as a “sausage dog” or “wiener dog” due to their elongated bodies. They are loyal and curious companions with a charming personality. One of the most distinctive and beloved features of this breed is its long drooping ears, which help distinguish a Dachshund from similar breeds.
Unfortunately, Dachshunds are not considered hypoallergenic. Despite their short coats and small size, they do shed hair and dander — material that is linked to allergic reactions. Research suggests that a trigger for most allergic reactions to dogs is dander from their saliva, urine, and sweat, as well as their fur. As such, people with allergies should think carefully before bringing a Dachshund into their home.
Dachshunds are suited best to a diet high in proteins, as it provides them with the energy and nutrition they need. A diet for a Dachshund pup should include nutritional dry kibble, as well as occasional wet food, which is more easily digested than dry. As Dachshunds are smaller than many other dog breeds, they don't require large amounts of food.
Before welcoming your new Dachshund into your home, you should prepare it for a successful and stress-free transition. To get your puppy set up for success, start by researching dog care basics such as proper nutrition, exercise requirements, vaccinations, and potty training. You should also purchase the necessary supplies food, a bed, leash, collar, and toys. Additionally, look into enrolling in an obedience class with your pup (even if they're young) to ensure they learn early obedience and socialization skills.
Dachshunds come in two main sizes: standard and miniature. Standard size Dachshunds generally weigh between 16 and 32 pounds and measure 8-9 inches tall at the shoulder. On average, miniature Dachshunds are 11 pounds or less, with shoulder heights of 5-6 inches. However, there is a wide variety of sizes, colors, coat types, and styles of Dachshunds.
Dachshunds are considered medium-energy breeds and do best with a minimum of 30 minutes of exercise each day. For a healthy, happy Dachshund, it's important to get plenty of daily physical activity as well as mental stimulation. This includes regular walks and playtime in a secure, enclosed area, or free running or jogging outdoors. Exercise will help prevent health problems, such as obesity or heart and lung problems, as well as to reduce any excess energy and encourage positive behavior.
Dachshunds are widely known for their loyalty, friendliness, and affection and can make great companions for families with children. To ensure the best experience, it is important to properly train a dachshund and set clear rules and expectations for interactions with kids. With the right amount of training and patience, dachshunds can learn to view children as members of their pack, and can be very gentle and patient with them. Additionally, their low stature make them well-suited to rough-housing with children.
Dachshunds are generally considered to be quite intelligent and in many cases, even quicker than other dog breeds. They're certainly well-known for their learning capabilities and have the ability to grasp instruction quickly, which makes them great to train. While traits like intelligence vary from dog to dog, Dachshunds are usually quite good at learning new commands and figuring out puzzles. What's more, they are known for being sensitive to their owners' moods and know how to pick up on subtle cues.
