Questions & Answers
Dachshunds, also known as wiener dogs, are full of personality and are known for their playful nature. Did you know that Dachshunds can come in a variety of sizes and three different coats; smooth, long, and wire-haired? As the popular saying goes, Dachshunds "may be short on legs, but they're long on love!" This small breed was originally bred in Germany to hunt badgers and enjoys taking long walks, but loves being an indoor pet.
Dachshunds are quite low-shedding and produce a minimal amount of dander, which makes it unlikely that they will cause allergies. However, since every individual's allergies are different, it's impossible to guarantee that a specific breed will not trigger an allergic reaction. You can test for reactions by visiting a home with a Dachshund and seeing if any sneezing, itching, or watery eyes occur.
The best dog food for Dachshunds depends on your individual pup's needs. For example, if your Dachshund has food allergies, you'll probably need an ultra-premium, grain-free diet. On the other hand, if your Dachshund is a senior dog, you'll likely want a diet specifically tailored to their age and needs. Additionally, many Dachshunds may need a diet low in fat and sodium. Some owners may also choose to feed their pet a homemade diet, which should be formulated to ensure your pup is getting enough nutrition.
Before you bring your new Dachshund home, it's important to prepare your home and family for their arrival. Make sure you have a safe and comfortable space all set up for them — this could be their either designated bed or a cozy corner of your home. Start stocking up on the food, treats, and toys your Dachshund will need and set forth rules about what is and isn't acceptable so they know what to expect. Don't forget to familiarize yourself with all the basics of Dachshund care, including grooming, physical exercise, and health check-ups.
Typically, a Dachshund puppy will reach its adult height between 8 and 9 inches when measured from the top of their shoulder. However, their adult weight is much harder to predict, as there are several factors that can influence their size, such as their age, gender, general health, and nutritional intake. Generally, standard Dachshunds will weigh between 16 and 32 pounds when fully grown, while miniature Dachshunds typically grow to be 8 to 11 pounds.
It's generally recommended that Dachshunds get at least thirty minutes of exercise per day, especially since they are a high-energy breed. To ensure your Dachshund is getting the necessary level of physical activity, walking them for at least twenty minutes twice a day is best. Consider breaking these walks up throughout the day and making them as enjoyable as possible with changes of scenery, new smells, and possible sniffing spots for your pup. You should also remember to throw in some playtime or an extra walk on the weekends when you have more time.
Many Dachshunds get along well with children, but it is still important to remember that every dog is different and has its own unique personality. While a Dachshund's small size and friendly temperament can make them a great companion for a young child, it's still important to supervise all interactions between pets and children and make sure children understand how to properly respect and interact with animals. Additionally, it's important to socialize your Dachshund to ensure they remain comfortable interacting with children of all ages.
The amount of time you need to spend training a Dachshund each day will vary depending on the goals you have and the age of the dog. Generally, puppies need more time each day as they learn basic commands and house training, while an adult Dachshund might only need 10 to 20 minutes for brushing up on commands each day. Ultimately, between 10 and 30 minutes per day of dedicated training time should be enough for a Dachshund to regularly practice commands and stay engaged.
