Questions & Answers
Dachshunds are a long-bodied, short-legged type of hound and are known for their loyalty, intelligence and fun-loving personalities. They usually have a playful and energetic nature, and are easy to train. However, because they were bred to be hunting dogs, they may be more prone to chasing small animals and barking loudly. They are most comfortable in an environment where they can get plenty of exercise and mental stimulation. As far as their needs go, they do not require much in terms of grooming or special care.
No, dachshunds are not hypoallergenic. Hypoallergenic dogs generally refer to breeds that do not shed very much or produce a low level of allergens, which unfortunately does not include the dachshund. Thankfully, dachshunds do not require as much grooming and brushing as some other breeds but they are not considered hypoallergenic. As a short-haired breed, regular brushing is important to prevent an excessive amount of shedding.
Dachshunds tend to have sensitive stomachs, so the best dog food for them is a high-quality, balanced diet with appropriate ingredients. When choosing a brand, look for something that contains real meats as the primary protein source, good carbohydrates like brown rice or oatmeal, fruits and veggies as natural sources of vitamins and minerals, healthy fats and more. Avoid any products that contain added fillers, dyes or preservatives. If possible, it's always best to feed your Dachshund organic, non-GMO ingredients.
Preparing your home for a new Dachshund is a great way to ensure your pet's safety and happiness. First, create a space dedicated to your pup such as a quiet and cozy corner with a soft bed, water bowl, and toys. Next, take into account your pup's strong need to dig; you may want to choose an area in the yard with sturdy fencing that is a safe place for him/her to do this. Finally, consider getting a few doggie gates to block off dangerous rooms in the house (e.g. laundry, bathroom, kitchen).
Dachshunds come in two sizes standard and miniature. The standard size ranges from 16 to 32 pounds, while the miniature size ranges from 8 to 11 pounds. The size of the Dachshund can make a significant impact on its behavior. The miniature Dachshund is best suited for people looking for a small, companion dog that is more manageable in size. They also tend to require less exercise than their standard counterparts. The larger size of the standard Dachshund is ideal for those who want an active, athletic dog.
While Dachshunds aren’t the most athletic canines, some may be able to join you on running excursions. Before considering taking your pet, speak with your veterinarian to learn more about your specific pup. With most Dachshunds, it’s best to start slowly and build up to a longer run. It’s also recommended that you don’t run your pup on the asphalt or in extreme temperatures as they can cause pain in the Dachshund’s long back and thin coat.
Dachshunds can make excellent family pets, and they can be great with children. They are intelligent and loyal companions, and they enjoy spending time with their human families. Generally, these dogs are friendly and eager to please their owners. It's important to note that specific breeds and individual dogs can be calm and docile, yet others may be excitable and energetic, so it's always important to consider individual characteristics when making a decision about a particular pet.
The amount of training minutes per day that you need to dedicate to Dachshunds depends largely on various factors such as the objectives of your training, the age and temperament of your dog, as well as the physical and mental condition of your Dachshund. Generally, it is recommended that a Dachshund receive 1-2 sessions of 5-20 minutes each day. It is important to adjust the timing and frequency of your training to ensure that your Dachshund has the best opportunity to learn effectively and efficiently.
