Questions & Answers
Dachshunds are loyal and spirited companions! They were bred to be efficient hunters of small mammals over 200 years ago and they make excellent watchdogs. Other interesting facts about dachshunds include that they come in three different coat types (smooth, long, and wire-haired) and two sizes (standard size and miniature). Each dachshund breed typically has distinct personality traits, such as being incredibly stubborn or excessively affectionate. Their sausage-like shape is unique and many people find their floppy ears and long body irresistible.
Although it is possible to have allergic reactions to any animal, dachshunds are generally considered to be hypoallergenic dogs since they are considered a low-dander breed. Since allergens attach to pet dander, a low pet dander means that there may be limited exposure to potential sources of allergens--making them a good choice for people with allergies. This does not mean, however, that the person will not experience allergic symptoms.
Feeding a Dachshund requires careful consideration, as it is important to provide a nutritionally balanced diet. Good quality dog food is essential for a healthy Dachshund, and you may want to consider a breed-specific formula. A well-balanced diet should also include nutritious snacks, such as vegetables, small pieces of meat or fish, and low-fat cheese. You should also ensure your Dachshund has water available at all times and is eating regularly.
Before bringing home a new Dachshund, you should prepare the household. Make sure that your home is safe by puppy-proofing, like covering electrical cords, blocking off any dangerous household items, and setting up a safe play area. You should also plan out a schedule for housebreaking and create a feeding and sleeping routine. Training is important too, you should purchase gear such as a harness, crate, and toys that your Dachshund will need.
Dachshunds, affectionately known as 'wiener dogs' and 'sausage dogs', are small, sturdy and long-bodied canines. The breed typically ranges in size from 8 to 9 inches tall at the shoulder and weigh an average of 16 to 32 pounds, depending on the coat variety; smooth-coated dachshunds are larger than wire-haired or long-haired dogs. Generally speaking, full adult size is reached by around 18 months of age.
Generally speaking, most experts would recommend that you walk your Dachshund at least once a day for 20-30 minutes, depending on their overall fitness and energy levels. It's important to adjust the duration of the walks accordingly and be mindful of how much exercise your pup needs. During the walks, you should try to mix up how fast you walk and how far you go, to really benefit your pup's health. Additionally, make sure that your pup is safe while exercising outdoors and have them on a leash at all times.
Generally speaking, Dachshunds do get along with kids, as they are a loyal and enthusiastic breed. They have the energy and enthusiasm for playtime, and they also have the intelligence to understand basic commands and commands related to safety around children.

With proper house training and socialization, Dachshunds can make fast friends with children.
Training a Dachshund can be an enjoyable and rewarding experience with the right approaches, time, and commitment from the owner. While every dog is different, with Dachshunds it's important to use positive reinforcement techniques and remain firm and consistent. They thrive with consistency and clear guidelines, and house training is relatively easy because they are quick learners. Obedience classes might be the best bet as they can provide a safe, stimulating social environment for your pup. Patience, setting boundaries, and understanding your pup's needs are key for optimal training success.
