Questions & Answers
Dachshunds are one of the most interesting, yet misunderstood breeds. They are very active and enjoy spending time with their families. They will bark to get attention, but they are really just full of personality and love to play. Their short legs and long bodies make them great at activities that require agility, such as agility training and tracking. Furthermore, they tend to be incredibly affectionate and loyal animals that bond closely with their owners. They also have a remarkable sense of smell, making them excellent hunting dogs.
Dachshunds are not considered hypoallergenic, meaning it is possible to be allergic to this breed. Hypoallergenic means that a dog does not produce allergens that are known to cause reactions in people allergic to pet dander. Dachshunds shed frequently and their coats are made up of a combination of hair and fur, producing dander that can lead to allergic reactions. It is not recommended that people who suffer from allergies or respiratory problems bring a Dachshund into their home.
Dachshunds are omnivorous and generally enjoy a varied diet encompassing a variety of proteins, vegetables, carbohydrates, minerals and vitamins. A high-quality, nutritionally balanced dog food is important for maintaining a healthy Dachshund. Many Dachshund owners choose feed their pup both wet and dry food, as it assists with the oral maintenance of their unique body shape and teeth alignment. Some of the top brands for Dachshunds are Hills, Royal Canin, Purina, and Acana. All of these brands have both dry and wet food.
As a Dachshund puppy parent, there are a few key steps you can take to ensure the best possible overall experience for you and your pup. Make sure to provide your pup with physical exercise and mental stimulation via activities such as walks, play, and training to keep them engaged and active. Next, establish a routine and rules for your pup this will provide structure and help your pup understand what you expect from them. Additionally, provide plenty of love and positive reinforcement each day by giving treats or other rewards for good behavior.
Absolutely. Dachshunds are usually considered small dogs because they are typically much smaller in size compared to many other popular breeds. Their average height ranges from 8 to 9 inches and their weight usually does not exceed 11 pounds. Generally speaking, small dogs are defined as any breed that is under 22 pounds in weight. As it stands, Dachshunds comfortably fit within this description. In addition to their small size, the personality of a Dachshund is often much more laid back and tender than that of a much larger breed.
Absolutely, it is possible to take your Dachshund running. However, it is important to be aware of the breed's specific needs and limitations. Due to their short legs and long backs, they are quite susceptible to back injury, so care should be taken to ensure they are not jumping too high or running too fast. Walking at a leisurely pace is generally the best way to exercise your Dachshund and give them the chance to explore nature. Keeping your pup on a leash during runs is also a good idea, especially in areas frequented by other animals.
Generally, Dachshunds are known to be great with kids and make wonderful family companions, with their patient, loyal and loving nature. They are expert cuddlers, always happy to lie with their humans and form strong attachments. Dachshunds also tend to be gentle and playful, making them a great companion for kids. That said, it's important to note that all dogs, including Dachshunds, have their own unique and sometimes unpredictable individual behavior, so it's always a good idea to supervise interactions between kids and dogs.
Training a Dachshund to be obedient can be a rewarding experience for you and your pup! For successful obedience training, use positive reinforcement to reward desired behaviors; like verbal praise, treats, and plenty of belly rubs. Consistency and regular practice are key; aim for 15 minute training sessions a few times a day. Familiarize your fur baby with basic commands like sit, come, stay, and down; and use them throughout their daily routine to further enforce good behavior. Have patience, as this breed is independent and will not always respond on your first command.
