Questions & Answers
Dachshunds are a unique breed of dog that have some fun facts! Did you know, for example, that the German name of the Dachshund translates literally into English as "badger dog"? They were bred to hunt badgers and have incredibly strong prey drives; making them exceptionally talented at catching small animals, such as rabbits and moles. Furthermore, Dachshunds come in three coat varieties: smooth-haired, wire-haired, and long-haired. Each has its own unique personality making Dachshunds, in general, incredibly versatile.
Despite being a popular family dog, Dachshunds are not considered hypoallergenic as they have a double-coat and may cause allergic reactions to some people. It is not unheard of for people to experience sneezing, wheezing, red itchy eyes, runny nose or a rash after coming into contact with their fur. However, the amount of dander released by the Dachshund will vary depending on their individual coat and lifestyles. If allergies are the primary concern, it is recommended to seek out breeds that have not been known to cause allergic reactions.
Dachshunds are typically active dogs and should be fed a high-quality dog food diet that contains all of the essential vitamins, minerals, protein, and fat. This diet should be tailored to the breed, as sighthounds are more prone to developing an iron overload. Good sources of protein for Dachshunds include lean cuts of meat such as beef, lamb, and chicken, as well as fish, eggs, and beans. Complex carbohydrates like brown rice, with an accompanying carbohydrate such as sweet potatoes, are also beneficial.
Yes, Dachshunds have a few special requirements that must be taken into account when caring for them. First and foremost, due to their long backs, Dachshunds are prone to back issues, so care must be taken when allowing them to jump off of furniture or playing with them. Furthermore, they are known for being quite active, so regular exercise is important to keep them healthy and happy. Grooming requirements must also be considered, and while shorthaired Dachshunds need less frequent brushing, longhaired require more.
Yes, Dachshunds are considered small dogs. They are typically between 8 and 11 inches tall and can weigh up to 16 pounds at maturity. Dachshunds are long-bodied and short-legged, making them appear even smaller. With their short fur, long snout, and stubby legs, this breed is one of the most recognizable in the canine world. They are loyal companions, and although they are on the small side, they have the heart of a large dog. Great for apartments, Dachshunds will bring plenty of joy to their owners.
Dachshunds are active pups and need regular exercise in order to stay healthy and happy. Most dogs in this breed should get at least 40 to 60 minutes of exercise every day. This should include both physical activity, such as walking or running, and mental stimulation through playtime or interactive toys. While your Dachshund is young and healthy, it is important to build its stamina slowly and steadily. This helps the dog’s little legs to stay strong and prevents injuries. Be sure to break up exercise sessions to avoid overworking your pup.
Generally, Dachshunds do well around children if they are socialized properly from a young age. With their small stature, they make for great companions and can even provide guidance to kids that are just learning to take care of pets. Dachshunds generally like being around children, though they can be a bit stubborn or independent at times. With a little patience and consistency from an adult, they can bond well with kids and form strong and loyal relationships.
The amount of training time needed for Dachshunds each day can vary, depending on the age and behaviour of the specific dog. Generally, it's recommended that they receive at least 15 minutes every day, however, the optimal training time for younger puppies and adolescent dogs is closer to 30-45 minutes. If you have a mature dog that already knows basic commands, you may still want to spend 10-15 minutes per day reinforcing good behaviour or introducing new commands and tricks.
