Questions & Answers
Dachshunds are a breed of dog that have been around for centuries. They were originally bred to hunt badgers and have a unique build suited to that purpose. One fun fact is that they have four distinct sizesstandard, miniature, kaninchen, and rabbit. They come in a wide range of colors and coat types from shorthair to wirehaired. Despite their small size, they are a loyal and brave breed and make excellent watchdogs. Another fact is that they are an intelligent breed that loves to please their owners and can be easily trained.
Different individuals have different levels of allergic reactions to various breeds of dogs, including Dachshunds. While there is no way to predict whether or not you will be allergic to a Dachshund, it is possible that you may have an allergic response to the breed. The best way to determine if a Dachshund will cause you to have allergies is to spend some time with the breed to assess your sensitivity.
Dachshunds do have certain dietary needs that should be taken into account to ensure they stay healthy. They should follow a balanced diet that is specifically tailored to their breed's needs. Dachshunds can be particularly prone to becoming overweight, so it is important to provide appropriate amounts of healthy food that is low in fat and high in protein. Additionally, they should be fed two smaller meals instead of one large meal a day. Dachshunds should also be given high quality commercial foods to supply them with adequate levels of vitamins, minerals and other nutrients.
Preparing your home for your new Dachshund is an exciting endeavor! To make sure your little pup is comfortable and happy in their new environment, begin by setting aside a space to store their food, treats, and toys. This can be a specific cupboard, shelf, or even a corner in the living room, so long as it's away from the heat. Setting up a bed in a quiet, relaxed place within the home is essential; Dachshunds are often fond of sleeping in snug, dark spaces, so consider investing in a crate.
Absolutely Dachshunds are considered small dogs! They're often referred to as the 'Wiener Dog' or 'Sausage Dog' due to their elongated bodies. In most cases, the average Dachshund adult measures between 8 and 9 inches in height with a body length of 16-32 inches and weighing anywhere between 8-30 pounds. Consequently, a Dachshund generally takes up much less space than your typical large breed dog.
Dachshunds are an active breed of dog, and while they are a small dog they do need at least some exercise in order to stay healthy and content. Adult Dachshunds will require at least a 30-minute walk each day, preferably at least twice a day. They should also have access to a secure backyard or off-leash area where they can run and explore. Even an indoor activity such as fetch or flyball can give a Dachshund some mental and physical stimulation.
Dachshunds are known to be loyal, loving and spunky dogs, making them a great fit for first-time owners. They typically do not require a lot of exercise, but they don't mind a bit of exercise either. Dachshunds are notoriously stubborn, so first-time owners should be prepared to provide plenty of structure and consistent training. They are independent-minded, so plenty of patience is also important.
Training your Dachshund is possible and a great way to strengthen your bond with your pup. Start by socializing your pup with different people, animals, and environments. Positive reinforcement is the best way to train a Dachshund, and rewards such as treats, verbal praise, and petting can be used to reinforce good behavior. Spend time teaching your dachshund basic commands such as sit, stay, come, and down; these commands will help you control your pup in different situations.
