Questions & Answers
Dachshunds are an intelligent, loyal breed and while small in size, their personality often is larger than life. They are curious and lively, and they love to investigate their surroundings. While they fare better in cooler climates and respond well to structure and training, they also make excellent pets for longer walks and rigorous play sessions. However, their former uses as hunting and badger-coursing dogs calls for caution when playing as their prey drive is well developed.
While there is no such thing as a completely hypoallergenic dog, the Dachshund is considered to be a low-shedding breed, meaning that they should produce fewer allergens compared to other breeds. This doesn't guarantee that those with allergies won't have reactions, however, as there are still potential allergens present in fur, saliva, and dander. For those with pet allergies, it is always best to interact with the specific pet beforehand.
Dachshunds are active and intelligent dogs that require a balanced diet of proteins, fats, carbohydrates, minerals, and vitamins to keep them healthy and happy. Good nutrition for your dachshund should include a high-quality dry food specifically designed for small breeds, plus regular meals of meat, rice, vegetables, cheese, and eggs. You should also include treats such as rawhide chews, fruits, and vegetables that are safe for your pup.
Preparing your home for a new Dachshund is an important and exciting task! To give your pup the best start possible, make sure to child-proof your space by removing any objects that could be swallowed or become a choking hazard. Then, it's important to puppy-proof your home so that your pup can explore confidently. This includes checking for small gaps under the baseboard that may lead to the outdoors or to hazardous areas, plus ensuring that all electrical cables, cords, and wires are tucked away and covered.
Predicting the size of a Dachshund puppy can be challenging, as final size will depend on a combination of genetics, diet, and overall health. Generally, Dachshunds come in three sizes: standard, miniature, or tweenie. A full-grown standard can weigh around 16-32 pounds and their length ranges from 8-9 inches at the shoulder. Miniature Dachshunds usually reach a weight of 11 pounds or less and reach heights of 5-6 inches.
Dachshunds are highly active dogs, as they have an impish personality full of energy and need plenty of exercise every day. Although they come in two sizes, their entire breed is known for their hunting skills and need to be stimulated with activities. They make for great companions as they are curious and intelligent and are eager to please. Dachshunds can become easily bored and can act out if they don't get enough attention and going on walks or playing fetch can help keep up their playfulness.
Dachshunds can be excellent family pets, as long as you provide them with an appropriate level of socialization. When it comes to kids, Dachshunds generally get along well with them if they are raised together. Socializing the dog early with the kids can help ensure a smooth relationship. With that being said, it's important to keep an eye on your Dachshund around young children, as their small size and domineering personality can be a bad combination.
Training a Dachshund can be a rewarding experience, although it may take a bit of patience and effort. Dachshunds are intelligent, fast learners but with stubborn streaks. It is important to start training early and to be consistent with training techniques. Rewards for good behaviors as well as loving, gentle corrections for missteps are key. It is beneficial to utilize positive reinforcement such as treats and lots of praise. Keeping training sessions short and fun will help build a strong bond between your pet and you. With dedication, training a Dachshund can be relatively straightforward.
