Questions & Answers
A Dachshund is a small, elongated breed of dog that originated in Germany. It is known for its short legs and long body which results in a distinctive shape. They usually have short, smooth coats, though some may have long or wiry hair. While Dachshunds are often characterized as being comical or playful, they can also be loyal and devoted to their family. They are great companions and make for a fun-loving addition to any home.
Dachshunds are considered to be a low-dander breed; however, they are not completely hypoallergenic. They do shed coat, which can aggravate allergies in some sensitized individuals. Additionally, their facial wrinkles and contact with saliva can also cause allergic reactions. It is thought that individuals with allergies may be able to tolerate Dachshunds better than other breeds with higher amounts of dander and salivation.
Dachshunds are companion dogs that require a well-balanced diet for their continued good health. It's important to feed your Dachshund a diet specific to their breed and size. Look for a high-quality dog food with moderate fat and protein levels, as well as added vitamins and minerals. It's okay to include a few healthy snacks or treats if you choose, but they should never exceed 10% of your dog's overall diet.
Becoming the best puppy parent for your Dachshund requires dedication and a commitment to learning. First, familiarize yourself with the common health conditions associated with the breed and learn how to recognize signs of distress. Make sure to take your puppy to the vet for regular checkups, follow their recommended vaccinations and de-worming schedule, and watch for signs of parasites. Additionally, you should educate yourself about nutrition and dietary needs of the breed. Develop an exercise regimen for your puppy to prevent future conditions of obesity or malnourishment, as well as relieve boredom and excess energy.
Dachshunds come in two distinct sizes standard and mini. The standard size is sometimes referred to as "Dachshund Standard" and is typically considered the "normal" size. These Dachshunds generally range from 16 to 32 pounds when full grown, with a body length measuring 16 to 32 inches from shoulder to hip. On the other hand, Dachshund Minis or "Tweenies" are smaller with a mature weight typically ranging from 11 to 16 pounds and a body length that usually measures about 11-14 inches.
Taking your Dachshund running can be beneficial for both the pup and you, however, before you do it is important to consider the health risks associated with it. Certain Dachshunds, due to their short legs, are at greater risk of developing joint problems or spinal column compression if you over-exert them. Additionally, Dachshunds can tire easier than other dog breeds, so it is critical to be aware of your pup’s exhaustion levels and adjust accordingly.
Yes, Dachshunds are typically good with kids. They possess big personalities that are ideal for families with children. However, all Dachshunds have different temperaments and personalities. Due to their small size, they must be handled with care. It's important to have appropriate supervision to ensure their safety. It is also essential to teach children how to socialize and interact appropriately with their Dachshunds. Training and a loving home setting will help both the human and canine family members get along, creating a happy and healthy atmosphere.
The amount of time you need to dedicate to training a Dachshund differs greatly depending on the age and level of obedience of the particular dog. The general recommendation is 20-30 minutes of regular training per day. This training can be broken up into multiple sessions throughout the day or condensed into one longer session as long as the dog is comfortable and not showing signs of boredom or exhaustion. It's important to keep the sessions fun and interesting by varying the activities. It's also important to use positive reinforcement – rewards and praises – to encourage proper responses.
