Questions & Answers
Dachshunds have some fun facts that make them unique! They were originally bred to hunt down badgers in Germany, and today they come in a wide variety of sizes and colors. They are known for being stubborn and for their low center of gravity which helps them follow their noses to whatever they find interesting. Another fun fact about these adorable canines is that their personalities come in a variety of forms making each individual Dachshund a one-of-a-kind pet. Lastly, they are also known for having large ears which makes them even cuter!
Dachshunds are not a breed typically associated with triggering allergies. While individuals may vary in their sensitivity levels, the presence of a dachshund alone is unlikely to cause a person to have an allergic reaction. This being said, due to the presence of dog fur, people who are sensitive to dander and pet hair may experience some minor to moderate allergic reactions. To be sure, it is best to spend time with a dachshund before committing to owning one, as this will give a better indication as to whether allergies will be an issue.
Yes, Dachshunds do have special dietary needs, as they are prone to becoming obese and developing other health-related issues. To ensure their well-being, their foods should be low in fat and high in protein. They need all the essential vitamins, minerals, and nutrients for appropriate tissue and organ growth and function. A high-quality, commercially-made premium dog food will usually meet their nutritional requirements. However, it's important not to overfeed them, as their long bodies can prevent them from exercising properly.
Becoming the best puppy parent for your Dachshund requires time, dedication, and patience. Start by researching the breed, including proper diet and nutrition, health and grooming needs, physical activity and mental stimulation, and other important considerations. Be sure to provide lots of positive reinforcement to help make your pup's training and behavior modifications successful. Create an environment that is safe and secure and as stress-free as possible, while being sure to provide plenty of age-appropriate play and activities to keep your pup engaged and entertained.
Dachshunds come in two size varieties: Standard and Miniature. The Standard variety typically weigh in the 16-32 pound range and are typically 8-9 inches tall at the shoulder. Miniature Dachshunds typically weigh less than 11 pounds and stand at 5-6 inches tall. There are also Rex varieties, which are slightly smaller than the Standard size. The size of the Dachshund can vary based on its parents and diet, however, these are the typical sizes you can expect from these spunky, loyal breed.
Generally, Dachshunds should have around 30-90 minutes of outdoor/indoor exercise each day. You'll want to start with shorter walks and gradually increase the time depending on the age and health of your Dachshund. This should include mental stimulation in addition to physical exercise for your pup. It's ideal to have three 30-minute walks (or two 45-minute ones) per day. However, this depends on the size and energy level of the Dachshund.
Yes, Dachshunds can make wonderful family companions! These dogs are generally friendly with children and, with proper socialization and training, can get along very well with them. Dachshunds may be small in size, but they are full of life and energy, making them fun for kids to play with. As with any pet, owners should help children understand how to properly interact with their dog, such as teaching them how to touch and handle the Dachshund in a gentle way.
The amount of time that is necessary to devote to training Dachshunds will vary. Depending on the age of the dog, the amount of experience they have with training, and how much time you are willing to devote to it, the amount of minutes per day might range anywhere from 10 minutes to up to an hour. If you are looking to train basic commands and socialize your Dachshund, you should expect to spend at least 20-30 minutes per day.
