Questions & Answers
Dachshunds are spunky, loyal, and lovable dogs with a big personality packed into a small body. They come in a variety of coat colors and markings, such as red, black, chocolate, cream, and brindle, as well as long-haired and wire-haired varieties. Dachshunds enjoy games like fetch and tug-of-war and make excellent walking companions as they do need regular exercise. It's important to socialize your Dachshund early and frequently in order for them to become confident, friendly, and well-adjusted pups.
Dachshunds are not a hypoallergenic breed. While they are low-shedding and have a less-allergenic coat, their dander (dead skin cells) can still act as an allergen and their fur can collect pollen and mold spores. People who own or are considering owning a Dachshund should pay attention to allergies and visit an allergist or their doctor for help in assessing their allergies and the environment.
Dachshunds are small dogs, and their dietary requirements should be tailored accordingly. A good diet for a Dachshund should consist of high-quality, complete and balanced commercial food specifically made for this breed or for small breeds. This commercial food should provide a sufficient amount of protein, vitamins and minerals to ensure their optimal health and development. It's also important to provide occasional and appropriate treats. It may even be beneficial to offer a variety of protein sources (not just one) in order to provide an adequate nutrient intake.
To be the best puppy parent for your Dachshund, there are a number of steps you can take to ensure your puppy grows into a well-behaved and healthy adult dog. Begin socializing your puppy at a young age by introducing him to as many new people, environments, and other animals as you can. Practices such as crate training, structured playtime, and positive reinforcement can help your puppy easily transition to new home life.
Dachshunds are generally considered small dogs when compared to breeds like Golden Retrievers and German Shepherds. They typically weigh between 16 and 32 pounds and stand anywhere from 8 to 9 inches tall at the shoulder. However, there can often be a larger variation in size for Dachshunds depending on their lineage and type (smooth, wirehaired, and longhaired). Regardless of if they are considered big or small, they make great and loving furry companions.
Yes, some Dachshunds really enjoy swimming! They are natural swimmers since they were bred primarily for the purpose of hunting game in wetlands. Dachshunds naturally have short legs but their thick coat also helps them to stay buoyant in the water. However, not all Dachshunds are natural swimmers so it's always best to check first with your veterinarian to make sure your pup can enjoy a dip in the pool.
Generally speaking, Dachshunds are very affectionate and social creatures. Many of them do great with kids and have the patience and even-temperedness necessary to handle being around children. As with any dog, proper socialization and obedience training from an early age is essential to ensure a long and happy relationship with your children. Additionally, it is important to supervise children and your Dachshund around one another, particularly if the Dachshund is still a puppy.
The amount of time spent training your Dachshund each day will depend on the dog's individual needs and level of progress. Generally, aim for about 10 to 15 minutes per session. Depending on the complexity of the commands you are teaching and the type of reinforcement techniques used, this time can fluctuate. As your Dachshund becomes more accustomed to their training regimen, you may find that the desired behaviors are learned more quickly, resulting in fewer training sessions in a single day.
