Questions & Answers
A Dachshund is a short-legged, long-bodied, hound-type breed of dog. They are often referred to as 'Sausage Dogs', and their characteristic long backs and short legs make them easily identifiable. Dachshunds come in a variety of coat types including wirehaired, smooth-haired, and longhaired, as well as colors such as red, tan, cream, brown, black, chestnut, and rarely badger-colored.
Managing allergies when choosing a Dachshund as a pet can be challenging, but it doesn't have to be impossible. It's important to consider the quality and type of fur the Dachshund will have. Dachshunds come in three varieties of fur: smooth, wirehaired, and longhaired. The wirehaired variety tends to be hypoallergenic because its fur does not shed, so it would be the best choice for those with allergies. Additionally, regular brushing and grooming can help keep dander, pet allergens, and dust to a minimum.
An appropriate diet for a Dachshund should be an age-appropriate, nutritious, and balanced food formulated specifically for small-breed dogs. It is important to check the ingredient list for any food you choose to be sure that it meets the nutritional needs of your dog. For example, it should have high-quality proteins for muscle growth and repair, as well as fiber for proper digestion. It should also contain omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids for skin health and a lustrous coat. Additionally, antioxidants and probiotics can be beneficial to strengthen immunity and improve digestion.
Preparing for your new Dachshund is an exciting process! The most important things to consider before you bring your Dachshund home are food, toys and training. Make sure to pick up a high-quality food specifically designed for small breed dogs. Highly recommended are kibble that are free of fillers, grains, by-products, and added sugar. Toys should be age-appropriate and durable, as Dachshunds are known to be quite strong chewers. Finally, and perhaps most importantly, be sure to make training a priority.
Dachshunds may be small in size, but they are full of personality, which is why so many people love them. Although they are small, they are not considered a “big dog” by most standards. They typically weigh between 16 and 32 pounds, and they usually measure from 8 to 9 inches from the shoulder. Dachshunds are considered a medium-sized dog breed, as many other breeds can reach up to 100 pounds. Even though they don’t reach the same size as bigger dogs, their bold personalities can still fill a room.
Dachshunds are certainly active dogs with plenty of energy, although they are also known for being stubborn and obstinate. They need plenty of exercise and enjoy playing games, going on long walks, and engaging in a variety of physical activities. When given proper exercise and training dachshunds can be a delight to their owners, although without regular physical activity they can become troublesome. Though they don't need to engage in vigorous sports or activities, they should have a structured routine of exercise and activity.
Dachshunds have a history of being an excellent family dog. While somewhat independent, they are loyal and affectionate, especially with their families. They are generally good with kids, having a playful disposition and kind nature. Dachshunds form strong bonds with their family members, including the children, often considering them an equal in the household. As they are small, typically weighing up to 32 pounds, they may be well-suited for families with younger children since they are less likely to knock them over.
The amount of training time needed per day for a Dachshund can vary depending on the age, health, and skill level of the individual pup. Generally, 15-30 minutes a day is recommended, however, young puppies may benefit from more frequent, shorter training sessions throughout the day to help keep their attention. As a new owner, it is important to tailor your training specifically for your pup's needs. For example, if you have a hyper Dachshund that still needs to learn some basic commands, start with shorter 5-minute training sessions more often during the day.
