Questions & Answers
Dachshunds are medium-sized dogs that traditionally belong to the hound class. They are known for their long bodies, short legs, and curved tails. Though friendly and loyal, these dogs are active and make great watchdogs for their owners. Dachshunds come in two sizes (standard and miniature), three coat lengths (smooth, longhaired, and wirehaired), and several coat colors and patterns. They are an intelligent breed and respond well to obedience training.
While Dachshunds are often considered hypoallergenic due to their short fur, it's important to note that there is no such thing as a completely hypoallergenic breed of dog. However, Dachshunds do tend to have a low shedding coat that produces less dander (the main source of allergies) than other breeds. Additionally, their short hair makes them easier to groom and doesn't require as much maintenance or brushing as other breeds that have longer fur.
Dachshunds should not be fed certain foods, as some can be toxic to them. Chocolate, coffee, and foods with a high fat content should be avoided. Furthermore, artificial sweeteners, such as xylitol, can be dangerous and should never be given to dogs. Raisins, grapes, and onions should also be avoided, as these can cause a whole host of health issues. Finally, Dachshunds should not be overfed, as they are prone to obesity.
It is always rewarding for Dachshund owners to be the best puppy parents they can be. One of the best ways accomplish this is by developing an understanding of the breed's behavior and temperaments. Taking the time to learn about the breed specific traits and challenges will help you provide the best care for your pet. Additionally, develop a positive, structured environment in which your puppy can thrive. Establish a routine for feeding, exercise and playtime. Additionally, provide plenty of affection, socialization and training. Incorporate discipline, but don't forget positive reinforcement when appropriate.
Yes, Dachshunds are generally classified as small dogs. This breed is commonly mistaken for a bigger dog due to its unique shape, but the average adult Dachshund is typically between 8 and 11 inches tall and weighs an average of 11-16 lbs. While they may not technically be classified by size as a toy or miniature breed, they certainly are of a smaller stature compared to other dog breeds. Dachshunds tend to be an ideal choice for apartment or small living spaces due to their small stature combined with their intelligence and playful nature.
An appropriate amount of walking for your Dachshund would depend on their energy levels, as well as how old they are. Generally speaking, young puppies under 5-7 months should not go beyond 10 minutes of walking per day, whereas an adult dog should have around 30-minutes of walking, split into two separate walks each day. During this, remember to adjust the intensity of your walk depending on the heat and weather in some cases, it's reasonable to keep the activity to the cooler times of the day.
Yes, Dachshunds usually do get along with other pets if raised together from a young age. These dogs have a sweet temperament and are typically friendly and tolerant of other animals. For an ideal home situation, it is important to properly introduce you Dachshund to the other animals in a calm and relaxed setting. It is even better if the other animals in your home can be exposed to your Dachshund as puppies, so they all grow up together and get used to each other's presence.
It really depends on your individual Dachshund's energy level and needs. Generally speaking, a Dachshund should get at least 20 minutes of outside exercise and training every day, with additional indoor training in shorter bursts. This could include teaching them basic commands such as sit, stay, come, heel, and leave it, as well as teaching them basic tricks. By giving them adequate exercise and training, you can help ensure that they are mentally and physically healthy.
