Questions & Answers
A Dachshund is a breed of dog that originated in Germany. Its unique features include short legs, a long and narrow body, and powerful scenting abilities. The breed is known to be an ideal companion in family homes due to their loyal temperaments, yet they also make excellent guard dogs. They come in two varieties, the short-haired and long-haired coat, and in multiple colors such as red, black and tan, and black and cream. The average fully grown Dachshund weighs between 16-32lbs, and can live anywhere from 10-14 years.
Allergies can be managed with Dachshunds by regularly grooming and brushing them, especially their coat and the areas around their eyes and ears that tend to collect dust and dander. Bathing them on a regular basis with a hypoallergenic shampoo can also help reduce the amount of allergens circulating in your home. Vacuuming the floor and furniture where your pet spends time regularly can help reduce the amount of allergens in your home.
The best type of dog food for a Dachshund will depend on the individual needs of your pet. If your Dachshund is experiencing food allergies or sensitive stomach issues, you may want to opt for a food that is hypoallergenic and easy to digest. Alternatively, if you are looking for a balanced diet for your Dachshund, you'll want to search for a food containing the best combination of proteins, carbohydrates, and healthy fats.
To prepare your home for a new Dachshund, you must ensure the space is safe and comfortable. Be sure to remove potential hazards such as furniture with sharp corners and smaller objects that could be chewed and ingested. Find a secure location for storing breakables such as dishes or vases out of reach for your pup. You'll need to puppy proof the space by blocking electrical cords and covering dangerous items with a cloth or using a locking cabinet. Additionally, items like water bowls, food dishes, beds, blankets, and toys should be accessible throughout the home.
No, Dachshunds do not typically fall into the "big dog" category. Considered by most to be a small dog breed, Dachshunds generally range in size from 8-9 inches at the shoulder, and weigh between 16-32 pounds. While they are not typically considered to be a large breed, their shapes give them an iconic look that many find endearing. They are also known to be fearless and feisty, with a feisty spirit much bigger than their stature.
The amount of exercise your Dachshund needs depends on their age, size, and health. Generally, though, walking for around 20 minutes a day is recommended for these dogs. It's important to take your Dachshund on regular walks to provide them with necessary exercise and maintain their muscular and cardiovascular health. During walks, they should be able to pick up the pace, dash and run, and explore their surroundings. If your Dachshund is very young or elderly, their walks should be shorter and kept to a slower, gentler pace.
Dachshunds can be great family dogs when properly trained and socialized. They are loyal and affectionate, making them excellent companions for children. Dachshunds often display a strong willingness to please, so they learn quickly and can be easily trained if given consistent, clear instructions and lots of positive reinforcement. They typically love to cuddle or sit in laps, and they will bark when visitors arrive to alert you. Even though they are small, Dachshunds can be good watchdogs.
Training a Dachshund is certainly not a straightforward process as it differs from other breeds. Dachshunds are extremely loyal and intelligent and have a high prey drive, so they can be hard to control without the right training techniques. Positive reinforcement is your best bet when training, as they are sensitive to criticism and commands. Keeping a regular routine and having realistic expectations are also important. Consistency, repetition, and positive reinforcement will help the Dachshund gain confidence and help with any negative behavior that may be present.
