Questions & Answers
A Dachshund is an adorable breed of dog that originated in Germany centuries ago. It is a small, long-bodied hound-type dog with short legs. It is often affectionately referred to as a ‘wiener dog’ or ‘Doxie’. It tends to be intelligent and alert, with a comically independent spirit. With their droopy eyes, long cylindrical bodies, and curved tails, Dachshunds have a very distinctive look and personality.
While there is a potential for Dachshunds to trigger allergy symptoms, it is important to consider that every person experiences allergies differently. Dander produced by Dachshunds, which is a mixture of tiny flecks of skin that are shed by pets, is one of the most common triggers of pet-related allergies. Though the dander may be released from Dachshunds, people can build up a resistance to their allergens when they have been exposed to them for an extended period of time.
Yes, Dachshunds do have special dietary needs. As with many other breeds of dog, Dachshunds may require a diet that is tailored to their specific nutritional requirements. Because the breed is prone to obesity, their diet should be carefully balanced to provide healthy, low-fat options that will help them maintain a healthy weight. Providing plenty of fresh, quality proteins found in meat-based products as well as whole-grain carbohydrates is essential for the overall health of Dachshunds.
To get your home ready for a new Dachshund, you should prepare it with plenty of play and rest areas. Ensure that there is access to comfortable beds or mats where your pup can rest, as well as space for toys and interactive games. Plan to have both an indoor and an outdoor area with high walls that are securely fenced off where your Dachshund can run and play. Make sure to keep potentially harmful items, such as small objects or chemicals, out of your pup's reach.
The size of a Dachshund puppy may vary significantly. They can grow to anywhere from 8-9 inches tall at the shoulder up to as much as 12-14 inches. Additionally, the weight may range from 12-16 pounds all the way up to 32 pounds. Generally speaking, Dachshund puppies will often fit into the small to medium size ranges, although there are larger Dachshunds that will reach closer to the upper end of the spectrum. Ultimately, it's impossible to tell exactly how big your puppy will be with any precision until they reaches their full maturity.
Dachshunds, also known as 'Weiner Dogs,' are natural water-lovers. While specific answers can vary from pup to pup, most Dachshunds do enjoy swimming, and many owners report that their pups have a proclivity for jumping into rivers, lakes, and even the odd backyard pool. While some Dachshunds may require a bit more coaxing than others, swimming is a great way to exercise, provide mental stimulation, and help with socialization.
Dachshunds can get along with other pets if they are properly socialized and care is taken to introduce them slowly to other animals. Generally, Miniature Dachshunds can socialize easily while Standard Dachshunds may be more hesitant. If the Dachshund was adopted from a shelter, it is probably best to assume he was not well socialized with other animals and proceed with even more caution. To ensure a successful pairing with other pets, make sure all animals are properly introduced in a way that they feel comfortable.
The amount of training that a Dachshund requires depends on several factors, including its age, level of obedience, and how quickly it grasps new concepts. Generally speaking, a puppy should receive around 10 minutes of training every day, while for an adult dog it's recommended to train for at least 15 to 30 minutes daily. If the Dachshund has bad behaviors that need to be corrected, a plan should be developed with the help of a certified dog trainer.
