Questions & Answers
Dachshunds are a breed of small hound that originated in Germany and were originally bred to hunt badgers. They are usually long-bodied and short-legged, and come in a variety of colors and coat types. They are energetic and enthusiastic and require regular exercise and training, as well as good nutrition. Dachshunds tend to be loyal family companions and enjoy the company of their owners. They are intelligent, independent, and can be stubborn at times. It's important to provide early socialization and obedience training to ensure that they become comfortable and responsive around people.
While Dachshunds are considered to have low-shedding coats that reduce levels of dander, Dachshunds are not hypoallergenic. Dander, made up of tiny particles of skin, is the primary cause of allergies in humans. Even though Dachshunds have a coat type that blocks dander from freely entering the air, some people can still be triggered by it.
Yes, Dachshunds have special dietary needs as they are vulnerable to weight gain and must be closely monitored to ensure they are receiving the right nutrients, and are not over-eating. Generally, Dachshunds should be fed two to three meals each day, making sure to split their daily caloric intake appropriately. High quality, age-appropriate dog food should be chosen which is low in saturated fats and carbohydrates and ensure they get the right balance of proteins, minerals, vitamins, and fatty acids.
Before you bring a Dachshund into your home, you should make sure that you have the proper essentials needed for their care. A few key items to consider are a comfortable, spacious pet bed, food and water dishes, plenty of high-quality dog food, a leash and collar, grooming supplies such as a slicker brush, an appropriate size crate for potty training, and lots of dog toys. Also consider having pet insurance to protect against unexpected bills or medical treatments.
Dachshunds typically reach a maximum size of 16-32 pounds with a height of 8-9 inches and length of 13-15 inches. While there are some variations between Miniature, Standard, and Kaninchen size Dachshunds, they generally sport a strong and muscular body that is slightly longer than it is tall. They are often referred to as "wiener dogs" due to their sausage-like shape, and no matter their specific size, they all share the same alert and energetic character traits.
Absolutely! Dachshunds are a breed that loves to stay active and take part in physical activities; whether it's walking, running, or playing, your Dachshund will love to join you. It is important to gradually build up the running distance to ensure Fido does not suffer from any overexertion. Make sure to check with your vet beforehand to ensure your furriend is fit for running. Also, ensure to have plenty of water breaks and provide your pup with healthy exercise snacks to reward him.
Dachshunds have the potential to be great family dogs and good with children, when properly socialized and cared for. Dachshunds can be incredibly loyal and loving companions for children when given the opportunity, and research shows that they can even reduce levels of stress amongst the children they interact with. As with any dog, early socialization and obedience training can go a long way in creating a positive relationship with children, as it helps ensure that the dog is accustomed to different people and new stimuli at an early age.
The amount of time spent training Dachshunds each day can vary depending on a variety of factors such as the age of the pup, the difficulty of the commands being taught, and the pup's individual learning ability. On average, however, 10-15 minutes of focused training per day will suffice. This routine should be repeated regularly to ensure that Dachshunds maintain their skills and remain responsive to commands. Depending on the results of each session, this time may need to be increased or decreased.
