Questions & Answers
Dachshunds are a part of the hound group. They boast a distinguished lineage which goes back more than seven centuries. Their unique shape and their spirited personalities make them a popular choice among dog lovers. They have a long body with short legs, and their ears are long and floppy. Dachshunds possess an incredible sense of smell and are skillful hunters. They don't require a great deal of exercise, but they do have great stamina and endurance. Their thick double coat helps to protect them from extreme temperatures.
Dachshunds, like other canine breeds, will not likely cause allergies in people, provided the owner maintains a clean environment. However, due to dachshunds having a thick double coat, they do bring in more dander than some other breeds and they can be more prone to other allergens such as pollen and dust mites. If any member of the household has a history of allergies, it is best to consult with an allergist to determine the likelihood of hypoallergenic reactions.
Depending on your Dachshund's age and activity level, you may find that different dog foods are best-suited for their nutrition needs. For example, puppies typically need more nutrients and calories whereas elderly dogs may need foods that are easier to digest and have fewer calories. That said, some of the top suggested dog foods for Dachshunds are Hill's Science Diet Small Dog, Royal Canin Dachshund Dry Dog Food and Blue Buffalo Life Protection Small Breed Chicken & Brown Rice Recipe Dog Food.
Yes, Dachshunds have specific requirements for their health and well-being. Short-haired varieties should be brushed regularly and groomed regularly for coat and skin health. They should also receive yearly health checkups and routine vaccinations. Regular teeth cleaning and nail trimming are important preventative care. Owners should be aware of food allergies and adjust their diet accordingly. Exercise is necessary to avoid obesity and to promote strong bones and muscles. They need plenty of mental stimulation to reduce boredom and prevent destructive behaviors. Socialization is key to growing a well-rounded, confident Dachshund.
Generally speaking, Dachshunds are considered small dogs. They typically weigh no more than 16 pounds and stand 8-9 inches taller. Commonly known as "sausage dogs," due to their elongated bodies, Dachshunds often stand out in the crowd. As a small breed, they fit perfectly into most apartments, require less exercise than bigger breeds, and are happy with short, frequent walks. Despite their small size, Dachshunds have big personalities and tons of love to give.
Dachshunds are active, yet small in size, and require regular exercise to stay active and healthy. Generally, these unique dogs need around 30-45 minutes of exercise per day. Activities can include long walks, a bit of running, time in an enclosed backyard, or chasing a ball around. Additionally, it's important to keep Dachshunds mentally active with interactive puzzle toys which can help to keep their little minds and bodies stimulated. Please note that Dachshunds may require a shorter exercise regimen in extreme hot or cold temperatures due to their short fur.
Dachshunds can get along with other pets, though their behavior can vary depending on their individual personalities and past experiences. If they are properly socialized, they can make great companions for other pets, large or small. In general, they are usually quite tolerant and loyal with their cohabiting animal friends, although they can tend to be wary of strangers. With patience and proper training, Dachshunds can adjust well and even enjoy bonding with other pets, provided that all parties involved get along.
Training a Dachshund can seem challenging due to their independent and stubborn temperament, but with the right approach, your pup can learn important obedience skills with relative ease. It is important to start training your Dachshund early on, as the sooner the lessons begin the easier your pup will find the process. Establish clear boundaries and outline a reward-based system of commands and cue words your pup can understand. With patience, consistency, and plenty of positive reinforcement your Dachshund will learn routine behaviors like coming when called and walking without a leash.
