Questions & Answers
Dachshunds are a breed of dog belonging to the hound family. They are typically long-bodied with short legs, and because of their low profile and longer bodies, they have become known as the “sausage dog.” Dachshunds also come in a variety of coat colors and patterns such as black and tan, chocolate and tan, cream and red, and various others. They have an intelligent and lively personality. Since dachshunds are an ideal breed for chasing small game, they are also known for being a tireless hunter.
It is possible for some people to be allergic to Dachshunds, however this is not common. Human allergies to cats and dogs are usually caused by dander, saliva, or urine rather than the fur itself. It is wise to observe any changes to your physical and mental health if you are considering getting a Dachshund, since even the most low-dander breeds can still sometimes cause allergies. Generally, if you don't have allergies to other animals, you are unlikely to be allergic to Dachshunds.
Dachshunds are energetic dogs that thrive on a good quality, species-appropriate diet. It is important to feed your dog an age-specific formula as puppies have different nutritional needs than adults. When choosing their food, look for food labeled as either AAFCO-approved or that has complete and balanced nutrition. As far as quantity, divide their daily servings into two or three smaller meals every day. It is important that you avoid giving them any foods that are high in fat, as this can cause them to become overweight.
Before getting a Dachshund, some essential items you should consider buying include a comfortable bed, collar and leash, toys and treats, grooming supplies, a crate for training and safekeeping when not supervised, and food and water bowls. Additionally, a good quality food specifically tailored to a Dachshund's needs will help ensure proper nutrition. Additionally, regular vet visits are highly recommended as Dachsunds are prone to back problems and joint issues. All of these should be purchased prior to bringing home your new furry friend to ensure a positive and healthy relationship.
Yes, Dachshunds are typically considered small dogs. They are in the toy dog breed category and typically weigh between 16 and 32 pounds, with standard Dachshunds weighing up to about 35 pounds. Dachshunds have long bodies and short legs and are known for their crazy antics! They are alert, active companions that are loyal and affectionate with their family members. Despite their small size, potential owners should be aware that Dachshunds can be willful and require firm, consistent training and socialization to ensure they understand their place in the household.
Dachshunds are quite active dogs and therefore require plenty of exercise in order to stay healthy and fit. At a minimum, these dogs should be taken on a daily walk and should have the opportunity for regular play sessions. Dachshunds enjoy walking, running and swimming, all of which make great forms of exercise for them. Depending on their age and activity level, Dachshunds should receive anywhere from 30 minutes to two hours of exercise each day. It's best to provide a variety of different activities to keep them stimulated.
Dachshunds can generally get along with other pets if they are properly socialized. To ensure that your Dachshunds get along well with the other pets in the household, it's recommended that you introduce them to one another gradually. Start by keeping them separate at first and allowing them to gradually become familiar with each other's scent. When you observe their behaviors showing signs of acceptance, you can introduce them in a controlled manner with an attentive owner present.
Training Dachshunds can be a very rewarding experience, but it does take some dedication and time. Generally, it is best to aim for at least 10-15 minutes per day. This can be broken up into a few five-minute sessions. Allowing your pup to become familiar with daily training sessions, and keeping the sessions short but consistent, will help them learn the basics quickly. Keep in mind that puppies may require frequent potty and play breaks, as well as additional time for cuddles.
