Questions & Answers
Dachshunds are an active, playful breed of dog and make wonderful companions. They were originally bred in Germany to hunt badgers and have many other uses such as scent detection and as a therapy dog. Dachshunds come in two varieties wired-haired and smooth-haired as well as various sizes; standard, miniature, and mini. Exercise is an important part of owning a dachshund, as they need at least 30-60 minutes per day of physical activity.
Dachshunds are not hypoallergenic; therefore, if you or someone in your family has allergies, a Dachshund may not be the best breed of dog for you. Dachshunds have a double coat of hair that traits some individuals to have more allergies than normal. Additionally, due to their size and curiosity they may have a greater chance of bringing in allergens through their fur after visits to the outdoors.
Yes, Dachshunds do have special dietary needs. They are a small breed of dog with short legs and an elongated body, so they need a diet that helps support their unique structure. Their diets should be high in balanced protein, moderate amounts of carbohydrates, and appropriate levels of calcium, phosphorus, and other minerals to help with the growth and maintenance of their bodies. Additionally, they need adequate vitamin and mineral supplementation to help combat any deficiencies from their high energy lifestyle.
Preparing your home for a new Dachshund is key to setting your pup up for success. Before bringing your pup home, make sure you have the necessary supplies like a collar and leash, a bed, some toys, and food and water bowls. Take some time to puppyproof your home. Block off and secure any hazardous areas, make sure any cords are out of reach, and pick up anything that might be dangerous, like small objects and chemicals. Also check your yard for potential hazards, like any open areas or small spaces that your pup may be able to escape through.
The size of your Dachshund puppy will depend on a few things. Generally, the breed standard calls for adult dogs of this breed to stand 8-9 inches tall and weigh between 16-32 pounds. Some individuals may be outside of these standards, however. Diet and exercise will also play a significant role in the puppy's adult size. If the puppy is not given a balanced diet or lacks adequate exercise, they could mature to a larger size than their breed typically grows to. Through proper nutrition and exercise, you can help ensure the puppy reaches a size appropriate to their breed.
Dachshunds vary widely in terms of their affinity for swimming. Some love the water and will happily take a dip, while others take more convincing. Dachshunds typically have a short coat, which can make them a bit more prone to feeling cold than some other breeds, so it's important to not be too overambitious and let them set their own swimming pace. With proper training, many Dachshunds will learn to enjoy the water and with the right safety considerations in place, swimming can be a great exercise or activity for them.
Dachshunds can, in general, get along with other pets if properly introduced and socialized. With proper training and supervision, they can make great companions for other animals. Dachshunds need to be given the same respect, boundaries, and positive reinforcement as you would give any other pet. It is important to socialize them with other animals, create enjoyable experiences, and provide space for them to cohabit peacefully. Through patience, persistence, and dedication, owners can successfully introduce their dachshund to other family pets.
Dachshunds are widely considered to be quite intelligent. This is mainly because they are easy to train and are known for their amazing recall. They are also generally very good problem solvers and learn commands quickly. They retain learned behaviors better than many other breeds, and they are very receptive to new tasks. With the right training and a loving environment, a Dachshund can become an amazing pet and a beloved family member.
