Questions & Answers
Dachshunds are a breed of dog classified in the Hound Group category. Hound dogs come in a variety of shapes and sizes, and Dachshunds are known mostly for their long, low body and short legs. This is unique among most other breeds of dog and makes them well suited for flushing out burrowing animals and as well as rabbits and other prey. Their temperament tends to be friendly and bold and they are very active.
Dachshunds are not considered hypoallergenic since they are a breed of dog that sheds. Most allergens are associated with a dog's dander and saliva, and Dachshunds are known to shed their hair which may cause allergies in humans. Those who are allergic may react to dander, drooling saliva, or the proteins found in urine and feces. While a Dachshund may not be hypoallergenic, some individuals may react better to certain breeds over others.
Dachshunds usually do best on a diet of high-quality dog food that is specifically designed to meet their nutritional needs. The diet should include lean proteins, complex carbohydrates, and a sufficient amount of fat. Fresh water should also be available at all times. Supplements such as fish oil, calcium and omega-3's can all be beneficial as well. Feeding your Dachshund fresh foods like meat, eggs, fruits, and vegetables can also help supplement their diet.
Preparing for a new Dachshund can be an exciting time! To ensure your pup has everything they need to be happy and healthy, make sure you set aside time to get your home ready. Start by puppy-proofing your home, tucking away any small toys or items that your pup could potentially get into and chew. Gather the proper equipment, such as a comfy bed, crate, leash, and collar.
Dachshunds, also called wiener dogs, generally reach a mature size of 8-9 inches in height and 16-32 pounds in weight, although this can vary depending on the particular dog's breed. Standard Dachshunds are slightly larger than the miniature variety, averaging up to 16 inches in height and 32 pounds in weight. Dachshunds are short-legged, but long-bodied dogs, with an active, playful personality and friendly disposition.
Dachshunds are an active breed, however, they don't require a lot of exercise compared to some of the larger breeds. At a minimum, Dachshunds should get 20 to 30 minutes of exercise daily. During the exercise session, it is important to include a mixture of walking, running, and playtime. This will help maintain a healthy weight as well as strengthen their muscles and bones. Likewise, providing a safe area for them to run around in off-the-leash will help keep them mentally and physically stimulated.
Generally speaking, yes, Dachshunds can often get along well with other pets. However, just like any other dog, every Dachshund is unique and will differ in terms of their sociability with other animals. It is important to remember that every pet will bring its own temperaments and behaviors to any given situation, so it is best to approach any situation with caution and be prepared for the unexpected.
Training a Dachshund is certainly possible but there are certain challenges to bear in mind. Dachshunds have strong personalities and particularly strong minds, so that training can often require a little extra patience. At the same time, they have an eagerness to please so when rewards and positive reinforcement are applied to their training, they can quickly become well-mannered and obedient. With a consistent approach and the right attitude, Dachshunds can make reliable and delightful companions.
