Questions & Answers
Dachshunds are a loyal, friendly, and lively breed originally used as hunting dogs in Germany. They are recognized for their short legs and long body, and come in two sizes: Standard and miniature. Though they are laid-back inside the house, Dachshunds can be very alert when in unfamiliar settings. They require regular exercise as well as obedience training to help them learn how to act around other animals and people. Additionally, Dachshunds can be prone to certain health issues, so they should have regular visits to the vet.
Dachshunds are not considered to be hypoallergenic. These dogs have a single-layer coat that sheds frequently and produces dander, which is a common cause of allergic reactions. Some people assume that certain breeds may be less prone to allergies because they have short hair, but this is not necessarily the case. People with allergies should meet with the specific breed before making a purchase decision and discuss their individual allergy issues with the breeder.
Dachshunds have special dietary needs, so it is important to choose the best food for them to ensure they receive the proper nutrition. Wet food is recommended over dry food for Dachshunds, as their small mouths make it difficult to chew dry kibble, and wet food is easier to digest. Foods with high-quality proteins, healthy fats, and fiber are good choices, but make sure to avoid foods with wheat, soy, or corn as potential grain allergens.
Before you bring your new Dachshund home, it is essential to prepare your house for its arrival. Begin by puppy-proofing your home secure cords or any small objects that could be swallowed, clean up any potential hazards, and cover or protect anything that could be chewed. Get familiar with proper Dachshund nutrition and have some food pre-prepared. Moreover, make sure you have the essentials such as food and water bowls, a bed, toys, treats, a collar, and a leash.
Dachshunds, also known as a 'wiener dog' or 'sausage dog', come in two size varieties for the breed standard: Standard and Miniature. The average size of a Standard Dachshund is 8-12 inches tall at the shoulder and 16-32 pounds, while Miniature Dachshunds are usually 5-6 inches tall and weigh 11 pounds or less. Despite the smaller size of Miniature Dachshunds, however, they can still have a lot of energy and an enthusiasm for play.
Yes, you can bring your Dachshund running, as this breed of dog is relatively resilient and athletic. However, be sure to build up your pup's endurance gradually to prevent over-exertion and possible injuries. Additionally, you should bring short, frequent water breaks during your run as the Dachshund has a tendency to overheat easily. Additionally, it's important to select routes that are free of traffic, other animals, and other potential distractions, as the Dachshund has a tendency to be highly excitable and easily aroused.
Dachshunds have a reputation for being great family companions and can make excellent pets for households with children. Generally, this loyal breed is gentle and affectionate and usually gets along wonderfully with kids. All dogs should be supervised around children, regardless of their breed, to help ensure a safe and friendly relationship. Dachshunds are small and sometimes excitable, so they should be handled carefully and taught their limits and boundaries. With proper socialization from an early age, Dachshunds can be great playmates and loving friends.
Training a Dachshund can certainly be a challenge, as many of their behaviors stem from their hunting roots. Although a Dachshund may take more time and patience than other breed types to train, the reward of a well-mannered pup far outweighs the initial difficulty. For starters, it’s important to commit to consistent, firm and positive reinforcement in your training techniques. Be patient and remain consistent with commands and guidelines; a Dachshund can eventually learn tricks and behaviors with time and dedicated effort.
