Questions & Answers
A Dachshund is a long-bodied, short-legged breed of dog that hails from Germany, where their name translates to “badger dog”. They are spunky, funny, and brave, with an independent, sometimes stubborn streak. They're considered a hound breed and most come in three sizes: standard, miniature, and kaninchen. Their longhaired or smooth-coated fur ranges in shades of black, tan, red, cream, chocolate, and silver-gray as well as some unique pattern combinations.
Dachshunds are not considered hypoallergenic due to their thick coats and hair. They have an outer coat that is generally long or short and an inner coat that is usually soft and dense. As a result, they can be prone to shedding, which can create an allergen and trigger reactions in those with allergies. If you are considering a Dachshund and have allergies, it would be a good idea to spend some time around one, first, to determine if you are comfortable with the amount of shedding they produce.
Dachshunds are a lively breed of dog and require a balanced diet to help them stay healthy. Their diet should be high in protein, while being low in fat. Dry kibble is commonly used as a staple in a Dachshund's diet and should contain essential vitamins and minerals for good health. You can also supplement with wet dog food or treats, but be sure to keep portion sizes appropriate. Some additional foods that Dachshunds can enjoy can include boiled chicken, fruits, vegetables, eggs, and simple carbohydrates like rice or pasta.
Preparing for a new Dachshund takes careful planning and dedication. First of all, you should have all the necessary supplies prepared and ready for when the pup comes home. This includes food, water, toys, bedding, leash, harness, and anything else you may need. Additionally, you should research the breed to understand their specific health, behavior, and training needs. Another important step is to potty train the pup quickly and ensure it has plenty of exercise. You may also want to consider socializing them with other animals and people from young age to ensure proper development.
Dachshunds come in a variety of sizes that depend on their breed. Generally, they average between 8 and 9 inches tall at the shoulder and can weigh around 16-32 pounds, though Miniature or "Tweenie" Dachshunds are slightly smaller, measuring in at 5-7 inches with a corresponding weight of 11-16 pounds. There are also cases of rarer Giant Dachshunds that can measure up to 12-15 inches tall and may weigh more than 33 pounds.
The amount of walking each day for a Dachshund should be tailored to the individual age, breed, and health of your dog. Generally, it is recommended to give your Dachshund at least 30 minutes of walking per day, split into two shorter outings if possible, with the opportunity for additional exercise, such as a short run or game of fetch, for an extra 10-20 minutes as needed. If needed, the outings can be broken into shorter intervals throughout the day as well.
Generally yes, Dachshunds have been found to get along with other pets such as cats and small animals like ferrets. However, it is important to remember that each dog is different and an individual assessment should be done before introducing a new pet. You should make sure your Dachshund is socialized early on, as this can help ensure they welcome other animals into their space. To help your Dachshund adjust, it can be beneficial to introduce them to the other pet slowly, and reward them with treats.
Yes, Dachshunds are considered smart dogs. With a long history dating back to at least the 15th century, this breed of hound was developed to assist hunters with tracking game using their keen sense of smell and ability to fit into tight spaces. They are also resourceful problem solvers with keen memories and are able to understand their owners’ commands almost as quickly as larger dogs. This intelligence and adaptability makes Dachshunds not just good hunting dogs but wonderful companions as well.
