Questions & Answers
Dachshunds are small, long-bodied, and low to the ground, which is why they're often known as "wiener" or "sausage dogs." They're brave and bold dogs who make wonderful pets, though they want to be the alpha and can be stubborn. A Dachshund needs an experienced caretaker who can be patient and consistent with training and discipline. Dachshunds love attention and can be social but also have moments of intense telepathy when they want to be left alone.
Dachshunds do not usually give people allergies, however it is possible for people to have an allergic reaction when exposed to any type of fur or dander. Allergies can be caused by contact with an animal's skin, saliva, urine, and dander. Even if you're not allergic to the pet itself, pet hair and dander can cause reactions in allergy sufferers. If you have any known allergies, it is recommended that you be cautious and check with your doctor if you plan to bring a Dachshund into your home.
Trips to the doggy store are always fun, but it's important to remember that certain snacks can be harmful for Dachshunds. As a rule, you should aim to feed Dachshunds only commercially-prepared foods that are specifically designed for their small digestive systems and their unique nutritional needs. Another rule of thumb is to keep human snacks away from these dogs, as they can be too fatty or contain ingredients that aren't safe for them, like raisins, grapes, xylitol, and onions.
To become the best possible puppy parent for your Dachshund, start by making sure that he or she receives proper nutrition, sufficient exercise, and regular veterinary checkups. Also, take the time to get to know your pup's individual personality, so you can adjust training methods to fit their needs and develop a strong bond. Providing toys, stimulating mental activities, and plenty of socialization will help them thrive. Additionally, be thorough in your research to make sure any supplies or services you utilize are safe, highly-rated, and ideally suited for Dachshunds.
The size of your Dachshund puppy can vary based on several factors, so it can be hard to give an exact estimate of their eventual size. Generally, it's expected that an adult Dachshund will measure about 8-9" in height. However, this can also depend on the breed type, as some larger and smaller varieties are available. Additionally, if you have a mix breed, you may see traits of several different breeds in the size of your pup. Ultimately, you will be able to make a more accurate estimate of your pup's size as they grow.
It depends on the individual Dachshund and its activity level, but typically between 30 and 60 minutes per day is ideal. For older or less active dogs, 30 minutes is generally sufficient, while younger and more active Dachshunds may need up to an hour of walking every day. The exercise should be fairly evenly spread throughout the day for best results. Taking your Dachshund for a good walk will not only help it stay healthy and fit, but will provide mental stimulation for your pet as well.
Dachshunds can be perfect for first-time owners, as they are highly intelligent and loyal dogs with an independent disposition. They fit well into smaller living spaces, require less intensive exercise compared to larger canine counterparts, and come in various sizes. Dachshunds are typically good with children, as long as their interactions are handled in a safe and supervised manner, they enjoy companionship, and appreciate having a job to do. Additionally, since they have a reputation for being vocal, you should understand they may bark a bit.
The amount of time you need to train a Dachshund varies greatly on the individual needs of the pup. As such, there is no one-size-fits-all solution some pups may only need five minutes per day, while others may need up to an hour. Generally, any frequency between five minutes and one hour per day is recommended to reinforce good behavior, teach problem-solving skills, and otherwise maintain proper training. But remember, too much training can overwhelm the pup, so provide enough time for frequent breaks to let the pup rest and recharge.
