Questions & Answers
Dachshunds are a hound dog breed in the AKC Hound Group. They are lively, loyal, and brave dogs that come in three sizes: Standard, Miniature, and Kaninchen (Rabbit). The Dachshund is perhaps best known for its surprisingly long body and short, stubby legs that were bred to help them maneuver underground to hunt for their favorite prey—badgers and other burrowing animals. Dachshunds have an internal perseverance and playfulness which make them extremely intelligent and enjoyable companions.
Not necessarily, it depends on the individual and the severity of their allergies. Dachshunds, like all breeds, do not typically cause allergies in humans. However, they can still cause an allergic reaction in those with severe allergies as the dog's fur, dander, and saliva contain allergens that can trigger such reactions. The best way to determine whether or not you will have an allergic reaction to a dachshund is to spend time with one, ideally by visiting a friend or family member who owns a dachshund.
Finding the best dog food for Dachshunds involves understanding their nutritional needs. A high-quality food specific for small-breed dogs should meet their energy and nutrient requirements without excess calories. Look for a diet with the right balance of animal protein, fat, carbohydrates, vitamins, and minerals, and make sure it is free from unwanted fillers and additives. Because Dachshunds may be prone to bloat, consider a diet that uses smaller kibble pieces to prevent over-eating and lessen the risk of gastric problems with larger chunks of dry food.
Preparing your home for a new Dachshund is important for both the dog and your family. The best way to get started is by puppy-proofing your home. This involves taking the time to secure or remove items that could harm your pup, such as cords and wires, off-limit plants, toxic cleaning products or hazardous items. Additionally, research dog-friendly furniture or treatments that will help protect the items in your home. Remember, your pup will need its own space as well.
Dachshunds are not typically considered a 'big dog' breed, as they typically weigh less than 30 pounds and stand relatively low to the ground. While a single dachshund may seem larger than other breeds due to its body shape, they are generally considered to be a small-to-medium sized dog. As such, they are not suitable for families or owners who want a larger dog for protection or similar purposes. Contrary to popular belief, size does not determine a dog's intelligence, personality, or ability to bond with humans.
The amount of walking you give your Dachshund is going to vary depending on several factors like age, weight, health, and breed. Generally, Dachshunds should get 30 minutes to an hour of exercise every day which can include a nice walk around the neighborhood plus some play time. If your Dachshund is young, energetic, and in good health, you should aim for the longer time frames. For older, less active, or Dachshunds that are carrying extra weight, then a shorter 30 minutes is all that is needed.
Dachshunds make a great pet for first-time owners due to their intelligence, affectionate nature and small physical size. They can learn commands quickly and make great companions provided they are given the proper love and attention. Dachshunds can be an ideal pet as they have a relatively low maintenance coat which only needs brushing and occasional grooming. Furthermore, they are small enough to be housed in apartments and require just a moderate amount of exercise. With 14 years of potential life expectancy and minimal health issues they will outlive many other breeds and become a faithful, life-long companion.
Training a Dachshund can be a very rewarding experience, especially for first-time owners, as Dachshunds are highly intelligent and easily trainable. However, like with any breed, consistency is key when it comes to training. Although Dachshunds learn quickly and can pick up commands in no time, they may be stubborn at times and need extra patience and clear boundaries. It may take longer than usual for them to adjust to the house rules, but once they understand what is expected of them, they will rarely challenge the owner's authority.
