Questions & Answers
Dachshunds are classified as a member of the hound family, a group of dogs originally bred to hunt. They can be further broken down into two categories: Smooth and Wirehaired Dachshunds. They may come in a variety of sizes, but most share features such as a long, narrow body and short legs. Their distinctive coat is usually a sleek, reddish-brown, or they can be black, gray, or with two-tone coats. Dachshunds are generally friendly and alert, so they make great small watchdogs.
Managing allergies with Dachshunds requires some extra attention since they are one of the most common allergy triggers. To minimize allergic reactions, it is important to keep the coat of a Dachshund well groomed to reduce the amount of dander that can escape. It is also important to regularly vacuum and dust the home, as well as keep any upholstered furniture clean to reduce allergen exposure. Additionally, frequent baths can help to keep a Dachshund's coat free of allergens.
Generally, Dachshunds thrive on high-quality, carbohydrate-rich dry dog food formulated specifically for their size. While the exact amount of their daily food intake depends on the individual dog's size, lifestyle, and activity levels, a good rule of thumb is to feed them one-half to one cup of food per day, split across two to three meals. Dachshunds should never be allowed to become overweight. In addition to dry dog food, Dachshunds can benefit from the occasional treats such as fruits, vegetables, and other non-messy snacks.
Preparing for your new Dachshund can be an exciting time! You will need to get supplies like a bed, food, bowl, leash, collar, toys and treats. You will want to puppy-proof your home for when your Dachshund arrives, by tucking any electrical cords, wires or items that might pose as a choking hazard, out of reach. Take a look around your home and see if anything needs to be replaced, so your pup stays safe.
Dachshunds are certainly not considered to be large dogs, as they measure between 8 and 9 inches tall at the shoulder and weigh between 16 and 32 pounds. However, size is not always the most important factor in assessing a dog's stature their heart and behavior, as well as the affection they show their owners, can make them seem bigger than their physical form. In the end, size alone should not be the only indicator of whether a dog is big or small.
The amount of walking your Dachshund needs can vary depending on their age, health, and overall activity level. On average, Dachshunds should get at least 30 minutes of exercise per day. This can take the form of walking, running, or playing. Younger Dachshunds can handle up to an hour of exercise each day, but older Dachshunds may need less to avoid joint pain.
Dachshunds can be a great companion for first-time owners, with their loyal personalities, intelligence, and playfulness. As long as owners are able to provide commitment, attention, and training, Dachshunds can do extremely well in a home environment. However, their size can also present a few problems, such as aggression, which can be managed with time and patience.
Training your Dachshund can be a rewarding experience for both you and your pup! Begin by showing patience and positive reinforcement. It's recommended to start training your Dachshund as early as possible. Establishing basic obedience commands like sit, stay and come can be a good starting point. You can also teach simple behaviors like walking with a leash or manual tricks such as fetch and catch. Be consistent when rewarding desired behaviors and don't forget to praise. Consider enrolling your pup in a formal obedience class for opportunities to properly socialize and interact with other furry friends.
