Questions & Answers
Dachshunds are truly one-of-a-kind dogs that make a great addition to any household! With their short legs, long bodies and tendency for big personalities, they're sure to bring a smile to your face. One of the most interesting things about these adorable pups is their intriguing history. Dachshunds were originally bred to track and locate game, specifically badgers, and their strong sense of smell and persistence has held true even today. Their miniature size and playful nature also makes them great companions, perfect for bonding with their owners.
Unfortunately, Dachshunds are not hypoallergenic. These small, long-bodied dogs are renowned for being friendly, intelligent, and loyal, but their non-hypoallergenic coats mean that they can potentially cause allergies for people who may be sensitive to pet fur and dander. While they do not need to be groomed as frequently as other breeds, it is important to keep their fur trimmed and well-maintained to reduce potential dander or fur in the air and on your furniture.
Yes, Dachshunds do have special dietary needs. Nutritional requirements for this breed can vary based on age, activity level, and general health. Puppies, seniors, and those with certain medical conditions may require a more customized diet. Nutritionally balanced dog food formulated for small breeds should provide adequate sustenance; however, it is recommended to talk with your veterinarian to determine the best quality and quantity of food for your Dachshund. To keep them healthy and active, Dachshunds should also be given treats formulated for their needs.
The best way to prepare for a new Dachshund is to be as informed as possible. Do research about the breed—learn its personality traits and needs. It's important to understand how much exercise it requires and what type of food it should eat. Be sure to have an area in your home for it to explore and be familiar with any socialization requirements. Any tools, cages, and toys, should also be purchased ahead of time.
Dachshunds are generally considered small dogs, however, the exact size can vary. The American Kennel Club (AKC) classifies the breed as "standard" and "miniature", with the standard size weighing in between 16-32 pounds and the miniature version typically weighing less than 11 pounds. Most Dachshunds will fit comfortably in the category of small dogs. Due to their long, low-riding bodies, they may appear slightly larger than their actual size.
It is possible to take your Dachshund running, but it is important to consider their size, age, and energy level before doing so. While all dogs need physical activity, Dachshunds have rather sensitive backs, so caution should be taken to avoid excessive strain. Short, slow jogs followed by longer rest periods are generally best. If your Dachshund is especially young or elderly, consider taking shorter, more frequent walks instead. Additionally, the type of terrain makes a difference.
Dachshunds can certainly make great family dogs, but it all depends on the individual pup. In general, they are very friendly and loyal companions with a tendency to form strong bonds with their owners. Dachshunds are also intelligent, curious, and relatively easy to train, making them ideal for families with children who can provide them with plenty of love and attention. They generally do not demand much exercise and are content to be indoors.
The amount of minutes you need to train a Dachshund varies depending on the age, personality and skill level of your pup. Generally speaking, it is recommended for your canine companion to receive at least 15 minutes of focused exercise and training every day. For young puppies, an extended training session lasting 30-60 minutes per day can help them learn basic commands, develop good manners, and build a strong bond with their owner. Older, trained Dachshunds can maintain their current level of skill with shorter, but more frequent sessions of 10 minutes.
