Questions & Answers
Dachshunds are an incredibly special breed of dog that are often referred to as "sausage dogs" or "wiener dogs" due to their unique bodies and short legs. In terms of fun facts, a Dachshund is capable of running 11 miles per hour and is the smallest of the hound breeds. Many people also don't realize that Dachshunds come in three different sizes – standard, mini and kaninchen – and a lot of their color combinations are actually quite unique.
Dachshunds are not hypoallergenic dogs. A hypoallergenic dog is one that has been bred to have a low dander and low shedding levels to minimize the amount of allergies that a person has to the animal. While some people may be less allergic to Dachshunds compared to other breeds of dog, they are not considered hypoallergenic.
Every breed of dog has its own nutritional needs, so the best dog food for a Dachshund may vary depending on a variety of factors including his age, activity level, and any health issues he may have. Generally speaking, experts recommend a balanced nutrition plan for a Dachshund that is made up of high quality proteins, carbs, essential fatty acids, and fiber. Since Dachshunds are quite active and have a tendency to become overweight, a food that is tailored towards lean body mass and contains whole grains and low amounts of fat is an excellent choice.
Before getting a Dachshund, you should be sure to purchase a few essential items. A collar and leash are necessary so you can take your pup for walks. A food and water bowl is important to ensure your Dachshund is adequately nourished. A crate is great for potty training and establishing safe boundaries for your pup. Treats and toys are also essential for providing stimulation and reinforcing positive behaviors. Finally, you'll want to get some flea and tick medicine as well as designate an area in your home that will provide your pup with a safe, comfortable place to rest.
The size of a Dachshund puppy will depend on the type of Dachshund you have chosen. The general size of a miniature Dachshund is about 11 pounds and 8 inches, while a standard Dachshund will range from 16-32 pounds with a body length between 8-9 inches. However, before getting a puppy, be sure to research the history of the parents and their previous litter as this will give you a better idea of the expected size of your puppy once it's full grown.
Dachshunds are an energetic and spirited breed of dog. While they may not be as exceedingly active as some other breeds, they certainly enjoy plenty of physical and mental stimulation. They love taking walks and rushes of energy, particularly when playing with their owners or other dogs. Dachshunds can be quite fearless when they are in familiar environments such as their own backyard or a neighborhood park. They are quite persistent and don’t give up easily when it comes to tasks that they set out to accomplish.
Dachshunds typically do get along with kids and make great family pets, as long as the dog is socialized around children from an early age. Generally, Dachshunds are a playful breed and can be very affectionate and loyal. Children should always be supervised when playing and interacting with a Dachshund, as with any dog, as the breed is known to be a bit on the mischievous side.
The amount of time required to effectively train Dachshunds each day will vary on a case by case basis. Generally speaking, they are a very eager and responsive breed that will patiently learn routines based on short and frequent 10-15 minute training sessions. Over time and with consistent practice, owners should gradually increase the amount of minutes dedicated to reinforcing commands and exercises. Practicing a few minutes each day is a great place to start, however it should eventually increase to 30-45 minutes on a daily basis to ensure that Dachshunds can retain the skills learned and develop proper behavior.
