Questions & Answers
Dachshunds are one of the most beloved breeds around the world! Fun facts about these beloved canines are that Dachshunds were originally bred for hunting small prey like badgers and other small critters.
No, Dachshunds are not hypoallergenic. This breed of dog does tend to shed, and therefore produces allergens. Since they do shed, Dachshunds are not good choices for owners who suffer from pet-related allergies. However, this does not mean that all Dachshunds are equally allergenic. In fact, Dachshunds with a thicker coat tend to be less allergenic than those with a shorter coat.
Dachshunds are a hearty breed, and they usually require balanced nutrition from their daily diet. There are a variety of food options that will provide satisfactory levels of nutrition for a Dachshund, including commercial dog food, vegetables, whole grains, rice, proteins such as chicken and beef, small amounts of fruits, and offal which should be minimally processed. Choosing a real food diet for a Dachshund should include fresh, non-processed ingredients when possible. Allergens should be avoided as much as possible to ensure adequate nutrition with minimal health risks.
Dachshunds require a lot of special attention and their needs vary depending on their age and lifestyle. Compared to other breeds, they have a higher chance of developing back problems so they should only be exercised on flat surfaces and their activity levels should be monitored. Additionally, due to their long backs, their food and water bowls should be elevated so that their body stays in an upright position while eating and drinking. It's also important to brush their coats regularly as they are prone to skin problems.
Dachshunds, also known as wiener dogs because of their sausage shape bodies, typically range in size from 5 to 33 lbs when full grown. The variant of Dachshunds also affects their size; the standard Dachshund weighs up to 32 lbs, while the miniature Dachshund weighs no more than 11 lbs. The longer-legged selection, the Dachshund-Rabbit, is the smallest and typically weighs between 5 and 11 lbs.
Dachshunds are considered an active breed of dog and need an appropriate amount of exercise daily to stay healthy and happy. An ideal exercise plan for a Dachshund should include some form of physical activity each day, such as brisk walks, running, and playtime. Daily physical activity keeps their muscles strong, maintains their ideal weight, and helps prevent boredom behaviors. All activities should be age-appropriate, taking into account any issues or chronic illnesses the dog may have.
Dachshunds can be wonderful family companions and usually get along well with children. They are generally good-natured and playful, however, they can be quite mischievous and possessive. With the proper socialization and training, early and often, they learn to be accept children as part of the family and will interact with them in a positive manner. It is also important to remember that each pup is an individual and may be more or less tolerant of children.
Training a Dachshund can be rewarding and easier than you might expect. Start by reading up on the breed and familiarizing yourself with their habits. Then, start socializing your pup with people and other dogs. Building a good relationship with your pup is key to successful training. When the pup is comfortable, begin training basic commands like sit, stay, come, and heel. Use food rewards combined with verbal praise when they obey commands. Keeping trainings sessions short and consistent will help your Dachshund learn and stay focused.
