Questions & Answers
Dachshunds are a small breed of hound originating in Germany. These dogs are part of the working group, bred to be used as badger-hunters and their development dates back hundreds of years. They are a unique breed and recognizable by their elongated bodies and short legs, giving them the characteristic dachshund shape. Known for their energetic and playful personalities, dachshunds enjoy activity, exercise and being part of the family. They are known to have great adaptive skills and will do well in homes, apartments and other environments.
Allergies can be managed with Dachshunds, but it requires special attention to ensure the health and safety of both the pet and the owner. The first step is to discuss your allergies with your veterinarian so they can recommend the best breed for you. Next, look for breeds and individuals that share hypoallergenic characteristics. When bringing your Dachshund home, create an allergen-aware household by using hypoallergenic bedding, regularly cleaning the pet's area, and brushing them outside if possible.
Finding the best dog food for a dachshund depends on the individual pooch. Generally, a formula that contains a high-quality protein source as the first ingredient and good carbohydrates for sustained energy will be beneficial. Additionally, it's always a good idea to look for options specifically designed for smaller pooches, as dachshunds are on the smaller side. These types of formulas typically feature smaller pieces or kibble to make them easier to chew, while also being nutrient-dense and nutritionally complete.
A Dachshund is a loyal and spunky breed of dog, and as such they'll need a great space to call their own. To properly prepare your home for your new four-legged friend, you'll need to create a safe and welcoming atmosphere. Ensure you've thoroughly de-cluttered any areas a puppy would have access to and secure any electric cords.
Dachshunds come in three distinct size varieties: standard, miniature, and kaninchen, or rabbit. Standard Dachshunds are typically 16-32 pounds and 8-9 inches in height at the shoulder, whereas miniature Dachshunds are typically 11 pounds or less and 5-6 inches in height and the kaninchen variety are 4-5 pounds and less than 6 inches in height. Due to their long and slender bodies, Dachshunds are often referred to as 'sausage dogs'.
Dachshunds can enjoy swimming, although they might not be natural swimmers like other dog breeds. Some Dachshunds might take to it with enthusiasm while others might need some convincing. Even if they don't seem to enjoy it while learning how to swim, with proper care and patience they can learn to like it. They may even surprise you with their swimming skills, as they can be determined and persistent. As with any activity involving water, guardians should take extra care to provide their Dachshund with the safest environment and equipment.
Dachshunds often make wonderful family pets that get along well with children. Generally, this breed is well-natured and enjoys being around people, and typically gets along great with children. With proper socialization and training, these dogs can be a fantastic addition to any family. Dachshunds have a playful attitude and can bring joy to any household. That being said, due to their size, they may be too boisterous for very young children. As with any breed, supervision and introductions should be done gradually and carefully.
Training a Dachshund requires commitment and daily dedication. While it may depend on your individual pup's energy level and past experiences, the amount of time you should plan to spend on training each day is typically about 15 to 20 minutes. But you should plan to spend time working with your dog in some way, either through training or play, every day to ensure they get proper physical stimulation and mental stimulation.
