Questions & Answers
A Dachshund is a breed of dog that originated in Germany as a scent hound. They are sometimes referred to as ‘wiener dogs’ or ‘sausage dogs’, due to their elongated body shape. Dachshunds are friendly, intelligent, and loyal. They come in three varieties—smooth-haired, wire-haired and long-haired—with sizes ranging from Standard to Miniature. Generally speaking, their life expectancy is between 12 to 15 years.
Dachshunds may cause an allergic reaction in some individuals. Allergens vary from person to person, so it can be difficult to predict exactly who will be sensitive to a specific breed. Additionally, specific dog-related allergens, such as dander and saliva, can be a problem for certain people. If you have allergies, or if you are unsure if you will have a reaction, it is best to consult a qualified allergist or medical professional to determine whether a Dachshund will be a suitable pet in your home.
A Dachshund's diet should be adjusted depending on their age, weight, activity level, and health needs. The best option is to feed your Dachshund a premium kibble that is in line with the AAFCO (Association of American Feed Control Officials) nutrient profile for adult maintenance. Look for a kibble that lists a quality protein such as chicken, turkey, fish, or lamb as the main ingredient. Other healthy ingredients to look for are whole grains, fruits, and vegetables.
Purchasing the right supplies before getting a Dachshund is essential for transitioning them into your home and daily routine. Consider acquiring items like food bowls, feeders, a leash and collar, a crate, and a bed. It’s also helpful to get toys to occupy them during alone time. As Dachshunds are spayed and neutered, nail clippers may be necessary to maintain their hygiene. Essential grooming items include shampoo, toothbrush, and a small-toothed comb for brushing their coats. Don’t forget to stock up on treats too!
The size of your Dachshund puppy can vary depending on its parents' sizes. Generally, adult Dachshunds range between 10 and 28 lbs. However, it's difficult to tell exactly how big your Dachshund puppy will grow to be. Many factors can contribute to their ultimate size, including diet, exercise, and genetics. Any potential environmental factors that typically lead to larger or smaller sized breeds can also influence the size of your Dachshund puppy. Therefore, it's safest to plan for a regular sized Dachshund and work from there.
It's recommended to walk your Dachshund for at least 30 minutes each day. Regular exercise is important for the overall health and wellbeing of your pet, so the more time you can dedicate to walking, the better. Regular walks will also help with behavioral issues such as excessive barking, chewing, and hyperactivity. More strenuous activities, such as sprinting and playing fetch, will require more time and intensity, but keep in mind that the important thing is that your Dachshund receives regular exercise and the proper amount of attention.
Generally, Dachshunds are known to get along with other animals and pets if they are properly socialized and raised with them. On the whole, Dachshunds are friendly, curious and eager to please, and as such, usually accept the introduction of other animals into their home. Of course, it is strongly recommended to always provide proper introductions and monitoring time when making introductions to unfamiliar animals and pets. If these guidelines are followed, most Dachshunds should become quite content having the other animals in the household.
Dachshunds are considered to be intelligent dogs capable of quickly learning commands and directives. Their independent and curious nature makes them easier to train than other breeds, and they often understand humans better than other dogs. Dachshunds typically possess remarkable problem-solving skills, an affinity for managing complex tasks, and an eagerness to please their owners by doing whatever is asked of them. That said, Dachshunds are also known for their independent streak, which can make them less eager to please when compared to other breeds.
