Questions & Answers
Dachshunds are one of the most unique and interesting breeds of dog and a source of joy for many pet owners. They are easily recognizable by their long bodies and short legs and their friendly, playful nature makes them incredibly loveable. But what really stands out about them is the sheer diversity in terms of appearance and temperament. Dachshunds come in a wide range of colors, sizes, and coat lengths. Their intelligence and humor often makes them a great empathy companion. They are loyal, affectionate and brave dogs who have the guts to stand up to larger animals.
It is possible that a Dachshund can cause allergies; however, this is not always the case. Allergies can vary person to person, so what affects one individual might not have the same effect on another. If you are particularly sensitive to pet dander, Dachshunds may trigger a reaction. Additionally, the amount and lengths of fur can vary between individual dogs. Breeds that drop more fur, such as longhaired Dachshunds, may cause greater allergies.
Dachshunds are considered to be carnivorous by nature, although they can benefit from a balanced diet that includes both meat and vegetables. Mainly, they should be fed high-quality commercial dog foods, supplemented with healthy scraps and home-cooked meals. When supplementing their diet with meat, it should ideally be lean, such as chicken, beef, or lamb, while avoiding processed human foods like bacon. Offer small amounts of vegetables, such as carrot chunks, broccoli, and celery, as well as fruits like apples and blueberries.
When getting a Dachshund, there are a few must-haves that you should be prepared with. First, make sure to have a comfortable space for your new pooch, such as a dog bed, crate, or area for them to relax. You'll also want to stock up on food and water bowls, appropriate toys and treats, and a brush and shampoo for them to stay clean and happy. Consider getting tags or microchipping your dog as well, in case they become lost.
Dachshunds come in a variety of sizes, ranging from miniature to standard. Their size is usually described using three different terms – miniature (weighing less than 11 lbs), standard (weighing between 16 and 32 lbs) or Kaninchen (weighing between 9 and 12 lbs). All three size variants are classified as the same breed. Depending on the size, Dachshunds may have slightly different body types and coat lengths. Despite their size differences, they are all bred from the same Bloodline and have the same temperament, characteristics, and structure.
Absolutely! Your Dachshund can absolutely join you in running. While longer, more strenuous runs may not be appropriate for dachshunds due to their small size, your pup can likely handle a relatively moderate jog or run with you. Make sure your dog is properly conditioned for the activity and create a warm up routine for them too. Stick to a comfortable pace and keep your runs short at first, adding on extra time and distance gradually.
Yes, most Dachshunds make excellent canine companions for children. Dachshunds are generally sociable animals and get along well with other animals and people, including kids. Since they are small, they usually won't pose a threat to children and enjoy the attention they receive from them. As with all dogs, it is important to ensure children treat the Dachshund with respect and kindness and follow proper safety protocols when interacting with them. Furthermore, early socialization and training are key in helping Dachshunds build positive relationships with children.
It depends on several factors, such as the age and training level of your Dachshund, and the kind of training you're attempting. Generally speaking, if your Dachshund is a puppy, you should aim for at least 15 to 20 minutes of training per day, with a single session or several shorter ones spread throughout the day. If your Dachshund is already an adult and well-trained, shorter sessions throughout the day, perhaps five to 10 minutes in length, should be enough.
