Questions & Answers
Dachshunds have a few fun facts that you may not know! They have a long and storied history, with stories and myths surrounding the breed dating all the way back to the 16th century. They were originally bred to be badger hunters, as their long bodies and short legs allowed them to fit into tight spaces and pursue prey. Dachshunds are often affectionately referred to as "wiener dogs," or hot dogs, and also make excellent companions. Additionally, dachshunds come in three different sizes, and a multitude of coat colors and types.
Dachshunds are not considered hypoallergenic dogs, meaning they may still cause an allergic reaction in people who are allergic to pet dander and saliva. Although they may not shed as much as some other breeds, dachshunds still shed enough that people with allergies should take necessary precautions during ownership. Taking extra steps to control the environment and regularly clean and brush your dachshund can help reduce the intensity of a reaction in people who have not previously been exposed to the breed.
Generally speaking, Dachshunds have the same dietary needs as most other breeds of dogs. However, due to their long backs and tendency toward obesity, they require a diet that is higher in protein and fat and lower in carbohydrates compared to other breeds. Additionally, they should not be fed human food, as it likely will not provide all the essential nutrients needed. It is important to regularly weigh your Dachshund to ensure that they are maintaining a proper weight and to adjust their caloric intake as necessary.
To ensure that your new Dachshund is comfortable in your home, you should plan ahead for the transition. Start by creating a designated area for your Dachshund to sleep: outfitting a comfortable large crate with a bed and a blanket is a great way to ensure your pup has a cozy place to sleep. Make sure you elevate any food and water dishes, so your Dachshund can access their meals easily. If you plan to be away from the house for an extended period, consider purchasing a few chew toys or a treat-filled toy to keep him or her entertained.
Yes, Dachshunds are officially classified as small dogs according to the American Kennel Club. These playful pooches are known for their elongated bodies and short legs and typically weigh between 16-32 pounds. Dachshunds also vary in size based on their breed type, with the Standard weighing more than the Miniature and the Toy version. Dachshunds make excellent companion animals and can form strong bonds with their owners, making them surprisingly loyal companions.
Dachshunds are a breed known for being playful and active, so ensuring they get adequate exercise is key. Generally, they need approximately 30 minutes a day of a combination of activities, such as walking, playing fetch, and exploring outdoors. To keep them physically healthy, they should get daily walks, and to keep them mentally stimulated, activities such as swimming, agility trials, or playdates with other friendly dogs (or even cats) should be encouraged.
Dachshunds can generally be good with kids depending on the individual dog's temperaments. They do not require a large amount of physical exercise and can provide a lot of companionship to children. If you adopt a puppy, it is important to socialize them and train them properly so the dog learns acceptable behaviors around kids. Dachshunds can be protective and fiercely loyal to their families which can be good, but they also may become too attached to a child and bark or act aggressively towards others.
Training a Dachshund requires dedication and consistency. It's important to establish rules and rewards at an early age to ensure your Dachshund learns what behaviors are appropriate and which ones are not. While it is possible to modify bad behavior through positive reinforcement, establishing basic training from the beginning is often the best approach for creating a lasting bond between you and your Dachshund. Depending on the age and personality of your animal, this process can require anything from a few hours of work to multiple weeks of training.
