Questions & Answers
A Dachshund is a breed of a short-legged, long-bodied dog whose ancestry goes back to 15th-century Germany. Dachshunds come in a variety of colours and coats, and weighing anywhere from 16 to 32 pounds, they can either be miniature or standard size. Dachshunds tend to have playful and loving personalities, which makes them great family pets. They are typically known for their friendliness and curiosity, and their devotion to their families often leads to them barking whenever they sense any sort of 'unease' in their environment.
Dachshunds are known for their short fur, which can make them more appealing to allergy sufferers since less dander is often present in short-haired breeds. However, it is important to note that no breed of dog is completely non-allergenic, so you should always consider visiting a breeder and spending time with a Dachshund before committing to adopt one to ensure it is a good fit for your allergies.
There is no one-size-fits-all answer as to the best dog food for Dachshunds because each pet is different. That being said, as with any breed, Dachshunds should be fed a high-quality diet that meets their unique energy needs, whether that be a dry kibble or wet food. When selecting a food, be sure to read the ingredients label and make sure it is high-quality and contains only real, whole foods. Look out especially for added sugars and fillers, which shouldn't be included in a proper diet for any canine.
Preparing your home for your new Dachshund is an important and exciting step. To create a comfortable and secure living space, you'll want to start by making sure you have the appropriate gear. Ensure that you have a secure, escape-proof crate for your pup and line it with a comfy bed or blanket that can be easily laundered. Place items like bowls, toys, and a litter box in easily accessible areas.
Dachshunds may be considered big dogs depending on the source you use to define "big". Generally speaking, Dachshunds are considered small to medium-sized dogs, although some taller and longer-bodied Dachshunds may exceed the weight and size specifications for those size categories. When compared to other toy and small breed dogs, Dachshunds are classified as bigger. Additionally, some Dachshunds sport longer bodies compared to their legs, giving them an appearance of being larger than they actually are.
The amount of time that you should spend walking your Dachshund per day will depend on their age, size, and overall health. As a general guideline, an adult Dachshund should get at least 20-30 minutes of exercise every day. You can split this up in shorter 5-15-minute walks two to three times per day. For puppies, shorter 1-5-minute walks two to three times per day may be more suitable.
Generally speaking, Dachshunds get along with kids pretty well. They can possess an affectionate nature that lends itself well to forming strong bonds with children, especially if they're introduced to the household at an early age. Additionally, Dachshunds tend to have a high tolerance for interaction with kids, and many owners have reported that their pooch is incredibly loyal and playful with their child. Of course, breed temperament can always vary, so if you're considering adding a Dachshund to your family, that individual's temperament and background should always be taken into consideration.
Training your Dachshund can be a big endeavor, but it is totally worth it! Start by teaching your Dachshund basic commands such as 'sit', 'come', 'heel', and 'stay'. Following the same pattern and always using positive reinforcement will help your Dachshund learn them quickly. Also make sure to give them lots of playtime and playdates with other dogs to help them socialize and gain confidence. Finally, try to take them for long walks each day to keep them healthy and improve their stamina over time.
