Questions & Answers
A Dachshund is a small-to-medium breed of dog with a long, hound-like body, short legs, and an elongated head. Originally bred in Germany in the 18th century, these dogs were initially utilized to hunt small game such as rabbits and badgers. However, through the years their popularity has grown and today they are cherished as faithful, social, and affectionate companions.
The chances of developing allergies to Dachshunds specifically are quite low. That being said, allergic reactions are a possibility since they produce dander, a common allergen that can be inhaled. If you are already allergic to other animals then you are more likely to have an allergic reaction to a Dachshund. It is important to consider your allergies and speak to a veterinarian before adding a Dachshund to your family. It is recommended to spend time around a Dachshund before making the commitment to owning one, while being mindful of potential allergic reactions.
Yes, Dachshunds have special dietary needs due to their unique bodies. For instance, Dachshunds are prone to obesity and therefore should be fed a food that is high in lean proteins and low in calories. Additionally, owners should be mindful of their Dachshund's calcium and phosphorus intake to avoid bladder stones, as these breeds are especially likely to develop this problem. Owners should also focus on providing good quality wet and dry foods and avoid treats that are high in sugar.
Getting ready for your new Dachshund can be a fun and rewarding experience. Before bringing your pup home, make sure to research the breed and familiarize yourself with the specific needs of owning a Dachshund. You will need to make sure you have all the necessities, such as food bowls, a bed, collar, leash, toys, and treats. You should also establish a housebreaking routine and find a veterinarian for yearly checkups. Spend time socializing your pup so they can be more comfortable in different environments.
Dachshunds are generally classified into two sizes; "standard" and "miniature." Generally, standard Dachshunds weigh 16-32 pounds and measure 8-9 inches in shoulder height, while miniature Dachshunds are much smaller, weighing 11 pounds or less and standing 5-6 inches tall at the shoulder. However, within these two classifications, there are also three different coat types smooth, wirehaired and longhaired which can affect the size of a Dachshund as well.
Dachshunds are an active breed, and therefore need at least 30 minutes every day of exercise like going on walks or playing with toys. For optimal health and weight management, the amount of exercise their body gets should be generous. It's also important to note that different life stages of Dachshunds need varying amounts of exercise, with puppies needing more than adults. Like with most breeds, healthy activity is key for Dachshunds to remain in good condition, and to prevent boredom and destructive behaviors.
Dachshunds can be an excellent choice for a family with children, especially if they have been properly socialized. Generally speaking, these loyal, cheerful dogs tend to bond very closely with their families, including children. They enjoy playing and being petted and are known for their lively, energetic personalities. With proper training and adequate adult supervision, they can become wonderful playmates for children. It's important to monitor interactions between kids and Dachshunds, as their long, low-to-the-ground bodies can make them particularly vulnerable to injury from overly vigorous children.
Training a Dachshund can be done easily with consistency, patience, and plenty of positive reinforcement. Begin by setting up a consistent schedule for potty breaks, feeding time, and walks. Develop positive reinforcement techniques, such as praise and treats, to reinforce good behavior. Spend time playing and socializing with your Dachshund to create a positive bond with them. Teach them simple commands such as 'sit', 'stay', and 'come' using treats. During training avoid punishments or scolding; instead encourage good behavior by rewarding them for it.
