Questions & Answers
Dachshunds are a part of the Hound group in the AKC classification system. They are medium-sized, short-haired hunting dogs descended from the old German badger hounds. They are slim, short-legged, and long-bodied and have an alert and intelligent expression. In temperament, they are lively, devoted, and spunky with a fearless character. Dachshunds may come in three coat types: smooth, wirehaired, and longhaired. Additionally, they may inhabit one of two size varieties: the standard and the miniature.
While some hypoallergenic dog breeds may be virtually non-shedding, the Dachshund is not necessarily one of them. Unfortunately, dachshunds, like any other dog breed, are known to produce pet dander, which is the main cause of allergies in humans. Pet dander is a common allergen that is produced by canine skin cells, urine, and saliva. As a result, having a Dachshund may not be the best choice for individuals who are severely allergic to pets.
Yes, Dachshunds do have special dietary needs. For example, they have a high likelihood of suffering from a condition known as ' pancreatitis', which requires a specially formulated diet. Generally, an optimal diet for your Dachshund should include higher levels of lean protein combined with lower levels of fats, carbohydrates and fiber. Additionally, your Dachshund may need higher levels of vitamins/minerals depending on their age and activity level. Always make sure to consult with your veterinarian first before making any changes to your Dachshund's diet.
Yes, Dachshunds do have some special requirements. Grooming is especially important for these canine companions as they have a double coat for insulation which means that they must be brushed out regularly to keep their fur from tangling. They should also be bathed at least once a month, and their nails should be trimmed every couple of weeks. Exercise is another important requirement, as Dachshunds are very active and enjoy running and playing in a safe environment. A healthy diet with plenty of fresh whole foods is also essential for these dogs, who can gain weight easily.
Dachshunds are not typically considered to be large dogs. Due to their small stature, they generally fit into the small dog category. While there is some variance between individual dachshunds, most adults typically grow to 10-12 inches at the shoulder, and they generally weight between 16-32 pounds. While the size of a dachshund's physique may not be a reflection of its heart, these dogs are known for their larger-than-life personalities, which often disguise their diminutive appearance.
It is possible to take your Dachshund running; however, it's important to note that this breed isn't ideally suited to a vigorous running routine. Dachshunds are not a particularly athletic breed and, due to their short legs, are better suited to slow walks or jogs. As such, when taking your Dachshund running, it's best to start slowly and build up your routine incrementally over time. Furthermore, in hot climates, it is recommended you keep your Dachshund running sessions short to prevent overheating.
Generally speaking, Dachshunds can be excellent family pets and can get along very well with children. While Dachshunds may seem small and delicate, they are affectionate and sturdy, making them great companions for kids. They tend to be protective of their families, and they have a special bond with kids. With an attentive and loving owner, kids can interact with and enjoy time with a Dachshund just like any other pet.
Training Dachshunds should be done for a minimum of 10 minutes per day; however, it can take longer depending on the type of training you are doing and the individual dog. Some activities such as potty training may take longer and require more time and patience than simple commands, so it's important to factor in enough time. Even a few extra minutes of training each day can make a big difference as Dachshunds can be very active and alert. In addition to training, regular exercise is hugely beneficial for a Dachshund and will help keep them healthy and happy.
