Questions & Answers
Dachshunds belong to the hound-group of dogs. They have long slender body shapes and short, stubby legs. They were bred to hunt badgers and small animals, and are confident, loyal, and courageous. They come in a variety of different colors and coats, including long-haired, short-haired, and wirehaired. Additionally, they come in three different sizes: standard, miniature, and remix. Generally, they are a hardy breed and require minimal grooming. Dachshunds are known to be loyal, affectionate, and friendly.
Dachshunds are not considered hypoallergenic, even though their fur may appear short. As a result of their double coat, their fur can be quite dense, making it difficult for people with allergies. This can also cause the dogs to shed more and further agitate allergies. Although there are no hypoallergenic breeds of dogs, there are some breeds such as Malteses and Bichon Frises that tend to be better for people with allergies due to their minimal shedding.
Dachshunds can be notoriously picky eaters, but there are some good food options to provide your pup with the balanced nutrition it needs. In most cases, you should feed your Dachshund a high-quality dry dog food that has been formulated specifically for small-breed dogs. These types of foods tend to have more protein and fat than regular dry dog foods. You can also supplement its diet with wet food or a limited selection of human food such as plain cooked meat or fish, fresh vegetables like green beans, carrots, and cooked potatoes.
Dachshunds are a unique breed of dog that do have some specific requirements. These dogs need plenty of socialization which requires time and patience. Because of their long body, they require some extra care to protect them from injuries. Dachshunds' delicate backs make them prone to intervertebral disc disease and other joint issues, so they need to have their activity moderated and monitored to ensure they don't become overexerted. Keeping these dogs lean is also a key component to their health.
While Dachshunds are not typically considered to be "big dogs" compared to more common hefty breeds such as German Shepherds, their bodies are generally longer and their heights can reach 8-9 inches. They also have a surprising weight potential of up to 32 pounds, which can be considered somewhat "big" when compared to other small-sized dogs. However, their small stature means that they do not have the same muscular and physical appearance of larger breeds. Additionally, their small size can make them appear more like lap-dogs, rather than dogs that require more exercise and space.
Walking your Dachshund is an important part of keeping it healthy and happy! Generally, a good baseline is to walk your pup 20 to 40 minutes per day, split into two walks. Breaks for play as well as rest are recommended throughout the day to ensure the pooch is getting mental and physical stimulation. If you are unable to provide 20 to 40 minutes a day, consider more frequent, shorter walks throughout the day or playing games in the yard.
Many Dachshund owners will tell you that their beloved pet is loyal and devoted to children. Generally speaking, these dogs do get along well with kids when they are socialized and raised properly. As with any pet, to ensure a positive relationship between the pet and children, it is important to supervise interactions. Dachshunds also benefit from lots of attention, exercise, and mental stimulation, so involving children in activities with the dog can be a great way to strengthen the bond.
Training a Dachshund can be an enjoyable challenge. While these dogs can be intelligent and loyal, their independent streak makes them a bit of a challenge to train. The key is consistency it's important to not only provide the necessary training but also to be consistent in reinforcing the desired behavior. Dachshunds are energetic and need lots of exercise and mental stimulation, so providing a varied routine that includes both physical and mental activities is important. Additionally, these dogs thrive on positive reinforcement and consistency, so rewarding good behavior and enforcing boundaries is also key.
