Questions & Answers
Dachshunds are small dogs with unique personalities and shapes. Did you know that Dachshunds were initially bred to hunt badgers, and that's why their bodies are long and low to the ground? They were even known as 'Badger dogs.' The name itself is German, from 'Dachs' for badger and 'hund' for dog. Dachshunds come in two sizes standard and miniature and come in a variety of coat colors and patterns, ranging from solid colors to dappled and piebald.
Managing allergies when living with a Dachshund can be achieved with proper hygiene and cleaning practices. It is important to keep the dog clean and regularly brush its coat outside of the home. Having a designated area in the home where the dog spends most of its time is also recommended, and periodically vacuuming and cleaning the area of dander and hair can help reduce allergic reactions. Consider using an air purifier to help reduce environmental allergens. Keeping the coat of the Dachshund short can also help reduce the amount of allergens produced by the dog.
Dachshunds have nutritional needs that may differ from other breed of dogs due to their small size and their propensity towards obesity. For optimal health, these dogs need a balanced diet with enough proteins and low-fat carbohydrates. Moderation is key when feeding these dogs as they tend to gain weight even if they appear thin. It is best to feed them a portion-controlled diet, cutting out processed foods and including healthy treats. Also, it is helpful to mix slow-release carbohydrates such as oats and quinoa into their diet to provide sustained energy throughout the day.
Yes, Dachshunds typically have some special needs that owners should be aware of before getting one. They need plenty of love and exercise, so owners should be prepared to take their pup on daily walks, as well as to dedicate at least 30 minutes a day to their pup for playtime. Dachshunds have a strong herding instinct so it's important to provide them with plenty of mental stimulation and activities that exercise their minds. Otherwise, they can tend to become naughty and destructive.
The size of your Dachshund puppy may vary depending on several genetic factors. Generally speaking, these dogs reach their full size between the ages of 8-12 months and can range from 8-32 pounds. Dachshunds typically have long, slender bodies, along with short legs, which make their average height range between 5-9 inches. Keep in mind that there is no such thing as an average size for Dachshunds, and your puppy may be larger or smaller than the suggested size range. Furthermore, male and female puppies may differ in size.
The amount of physical activity that your Dachshund needs is based on their age, overall health, and level of physical fitness. As a general guideline, it is recommended that every adult Dachshund gets at least 30 minutes of physical activity every day. If your Dachshund is young and full of energy, it is wise to increase the amount of activity to up to an hour per day. Not only will regular exercise help keep your Dachshund fit and healthy, but it will also help promote and maintain healthy behavior for your pet.
Generally speaking, Dachshunds tend to get along well with other pets if they are socialized early and often. However, like all dogs, it depends on the individual Dachshund and the other pet. With time and patience, most Dachshunds can learn to co-exist peacefully with other pets in the home, given proper introductions. That being said, proper behavior around other animals needs to be reinforced to avoid any skittishness or territorial aggression that can arise.
Dachshunds can be quite smart, although they don't possess the same problem-solving ability of some other breeds. They do, however, have an intent focus and are willing to learn. They are often eager to please their owners, and if properly trained, they can learn various commands and obey instructions. On top of that, they are often very loyal and affectionate toward their humans, so they can be an enjoyable companion. While they don't require time-intensive training, it's important to stay a few steps ahead and keep them engaged mentally.
