Questions & Answers
A Dachshund is a breed of dog originating in Germany. It is recognized for its long body and short legs that make it look like a hot-dog! Dachshunds have three coat varieties: smooth-haired, longhaired, and wirehaired. They are affectionate, alert, and outgoing. They may get along with cats, but be sure to introduce them slowly. Although they can be stubborn, with consistency, they can become great family members.
Dachshunds are not considered hypoallergenic. Since they have a double coat of hair, they tend to shed year-round, which can impacting those with allergies. It is recommended that those with allergies consider a low shedding breed of dog, or one that is considered hypoallergenic. Keeping your home clean and brushing your Dachshund regularly can help minimize the amount of dander and hair in your home.
When selecting the best possible dog food for your Dachshund, there are several factors to consider. Firstly, your Dachshund's age and breed size, as smaller breeds require food with ingredients that meet their specific needs. Secondly, you'll want to choose an option that is high in protein for optimal growth. You'll also want to avoid products with unnecessary ingredients such as fillers, byproducts, and artificial colors and preservatives. Lastly, it's important to check that the food is suitable for your pup's specific dietary requirements.
Preparing your home for a new Dachshund is an important step in welcoming a new furry family member! You'll want to gather all the items that will make your pup feel comfortable and secure in their new environment. This includes having food/water into which you can transition the pup from their original diet, creating a dedicated space for potty training, supplying plenty of toys and chews for when they're feeling restless, and providing a safe way to exercise/explore. Additionally, take the time to puppy proof your home.
Generally, Dachshunds are not considered big dogs; they are considered small-to-medium sized dogs due to their miniature size and long, low-slung body. While they may seem bigger than other small breeds, they typically only weigh between 16 and 32 pounds, making them about the same size as a Beagle or Cocker Spaniel. While they may be longer than some other small breeds, they are typically short-legged. As such, Dachshunds are perfect family pets that do not take up too much space in ones home.
The suggested amount of exercise for a Dachshund is generally between 20-30 minutes per day. However, since every dog's energy level and physical needs are different, the amount of physical activity should be determined based on your individual dog's breed, size, age, health and fitness level. If your Dachshund is older, overweight or underweight, taking longer walks for 30-60 minutes may be more beneficial.
Yes, Dachshunds usually get along very well with kids. In fact, they are typically friendly and playful with children. With their outgoing and affectionate personalities, Dachshunds often form strong bonds with kids. Although they are small and gentle, Dachshunds have a lot of energy and need to be trained to behave properly around kids. It is important to remember that Dachshunds should always be supervised when interacting with small children and should never be left alone with them.
Training a Dachshund is no different than training any other dog; it requires consistency, positive reinforcement, and lots of patience! Start with basic commands such as sit, stay, come, and leave it. It is important to reward your dog consistently with treats to reinforce good behavior. Use treats to help your dog learn and be patient while he or she learns. Generally, four-five practice sessions of five minutes or less a day can help a Dachshund learn quickly.
