Questions & Answers
A Dachshund is a long-bodied, short-legged breed of dog that originated in Germany during the 17th century. Bred originally as an independent hunter of badgers, Dachshunds have been used throughout history for multiple purposes such as being a loyal hunting companion, an excellent guard or watchdog, and even a lapdog. Most notably, the Dachshund is characterized by a rather unique, squat appearance that has become associated with the breed’s versatility.
Dachshunds, like all dogs, can cause allergic reactions. However, this is likely due to the individual's level of allergens rather than the breed. While the amount of dander produced by a Dachshund may be more than some other breeds, there are several measures you can take to minimize potential allergic reactions. Make sure the dog is groomed regularly, as this helps keep the coat clean and decreases the amount of dander. Regular vacuuming and dusting of your home will help minimize exposure to the allergens.
Dachshunds are meat eaters, and they thrive on a balanced, high-protein diet. It's important to purchase a high-quality dog food that is formulated specifically for Dachshunds, or any small breed. Such foods should include fresh meats from chicken, beef, or fish as the primary ingredients. In addition, your pup will benefit from fresh fruits and vegetables, preferably organic. Foods such as sweet potatoes, apples, carrots, and spinach are particularly beneficial. For treats, you can opt for healthy options like plain yogurt or Chicken Strips.
Before introducing your new Dachshund to your home, it is important to take certain steps to ensure that they feel comfortable and safe. Start by creating a safe environment for your pup to explore and make sure to puppy-proof your home. Move any potentially hazardous items, like chemicals, out of their reach, secure any exposed electrical outlets, and cover all sharp edges. Some extra items that can help include a comfortable bed, a safe place for them to hide and feel secure, toys for them to play with, a collar and leash, and food and water bowls.
Dachshunds are typically marketed as a small breed, but their size is often dependent upon the variety. Generally, the standard dachshund is considered a medium-sized dog, while the miniature and the kaninchen (“rabbit”) are classified as small breeds. Typically, a standard dachshund will weigh between 16 and 32 pounds, with a height of 8 to 9 inches. Miniature dachshunds weigh in at 11 pounds or less and stand 5 to 6 inches tall.
Dachshunds can enjoy going for a swim, but it is important to ensure that they are comfortable with the experience. It is always a good idea to introduce your Dachshund to the water slowly and not force them into a situation that could make the dog uncomfortable or even scared. Some Dachshunds enjoy hopping into a kiddie pool, or paddling along in a lake or at the beach. Some are more timid and will require more time and patience to get accustomed to the water. Some may even refuse to go in the water altogether.
Dachshunds are typically great family dogs depending on a variety of factors. They are loyal, friendly and playful, which allows them to be great companions to children. Dachshunds are also highly intelligent and trainable for basic, common commands such as 'sit', 'stay' and 'come'. Of course, the breed is known for their tenacity and strong-willed attitude, so consistent reinforcement of commands is important to keep them in line.
The amount of time you need to spend training a Dachshund each day depends on several factors, such as how old your Dachshund is, the time you have available, and what kind of commands you are teaching the dog. Generally speaking, the recommended amount of time you should spend training your Dachshund is about 15-30 minutes per day, although some dogs may require more. It is important to be consistent with the training, as this will help the Dachshund to understand your commands more quickly and easily.
