Questions & Answers
Dachshunds are an amazing breed of doggies! They are brave and protective of their family, but still very loving and loyal. Fun facts include that Dachshunds originated in Germany in the 16th century and were originally bred to hunt badgers, hence their "dach" name. Their long and lean body shape allows them to fit easily through narrow passages to hunt badgers. Dachshunds also have very long and sensitive noses that can pick up scents from far away! It is said that this breed of dog is afraid of thunder and loud noises!
Dachshunds are not hypoallergenic. This does not mean that they are bad choices for people with allergies; however, they do have a tendency to shed and may cause allergies to flare up if you are sensitive to pet dander. That being said, Dachshunds do not produce more allergens than other breeds, so if you are fairly tolerant of pet dander, a Dachshund could still make a great pet for you.
Determining the best dog food for a Dachshund depends on several factors, including its age, weight and general health. In general, Dachshunds tend to be active, so you'll want to look for dog food that provides an adequate balance of protein and other nutrients to support their musculoskeletal system, as well as their intellect. Dog food specifically designed for Dachshunds should include ingredients that are easy for them to digest and that have a taste they enjoy.
Preparing your home for a new Dachshund can seem like a big task, but fortunately there are a few steps you can take to make sure everything goes as smoothly as possible! Start by making sure that any stairs in your home are secure and outfitted with a gate, since your pup will likely be small enough to try to go up them. Additionally, put any fragile items in a safe space and keep sharp objects hidden, as your pup will likely be chewing on everything they can get their paws on while they explore.
Dachshunds are indeed considered small dogs. These four-legged companions, sometimes referred to as 'wiener dogs' or 'sausage dogs', typically measure no larger than 9 inches high at the shoulder and weigh no more than 32 pounds. They come in several sizes and colors and can be found with both long and short hair. They are an especially popular breed among smaller homes due to their small size and their loyal, mischievous nature which adds a certain thrill to any home.
Dachshunds are active and energetic dogs, so they require an adequate amount of exercise everyday. Typically, 30-60 minutes of activity or exercise is recommended for Dachshunds. This could be achieved through walks, runs, hikes, playtime at the park, or just playing in the yard. It is important to ensure that physical activities are tailored to the size and energy of the individual Dachshund. It is also important to note that activities should be adjusted according to weather. During warmer temperatures, Dachshunds should be exercised in the mornings or evenings.
Dachshunds can usually get along with other pets, provided they are given the opportunity to socialize during puppyhood. It is important to establish leadership and rules, so the dachshund knows its place in the pack. With proper socialization and training, dachshunds can get along well with other dogs, cats, and smaller pets. If a dachshund has not been around other animals growing up, it may be more difficult to socialize them later, and they may need special introductions and lots of patience when being acclimated to new animals.
The amount of time you should spend training a Dachshund will differ from dog to dog, depending on their age, learning ability, and breed. Generally, you should plan for at least 20 minutes of training each day. This should include time for basic commands, such as sit and stay, as well as mental stimulation activities, like tricks or agility exercises. You may need to spend more time training if your Dachshund is young or has difficulty focusing. However, it's important not to overwhelm your pup with too much training at once.
