Questions & Answers
Dachshunds belong to the Hound Group recognized by the American Kennel Club. This group describes the Dachshund's purpose is to scent, chase, and hunt small game such as rabbits and other burrow-dwelling animals. The breed's long body and short legs help them easily maneuver through difficult terrain, burrows, and tunnels. Dachshunds, also known as Wiener or Sausage Dogs, are known for their strong noses, deep bark, and bright eyes.
Dachshunds are not hypoallergenic. This usually means that individuals with allergies may be more likely to have a reaction to this breed of dog. That being said, some individuals may not be as sensitive to Dachshunds’ fur as they would be to other breeds. To reduce the risk of an allergic reaction, responsible pet owners should groom their Dachshund regularly and keep their fur clean. Additionally, keeping dog beds and other fabric items clean is important.
Dachshunds require a balanced diet that provides essential vitamins and minerals while preventing weight gain. Typically, a good-quality dog food specifically formulated for Dachshunds is best. You can supplement with grain-free, all-natural dog treats that contain no additives or preservatives. Avoid giving your Dachshund processed foods such as table scraps as this may lead to digestive issues and an unhealthy weight. If your Dachshund's diet requires specialized consideration, speak to your veterinarian to ensure their dietary needs are met.
Before getting a Dachshund, it is essential to purchase all the supplies your pup will need. Some absolute must-haves include a comfortable dog bed, high-quality food, food and water bowls, a collar, ID tags, a secure leash, chew toys, a brush and dog shampoo, and nail clippers. Additionally, you may want to look into purchasing a crate to help with training and to provide your pup with a special place to relax. Treats, a potty training schedule, and waste disposal materials can also come in handy.
Dachshunds have a lot of personality, but they may not be considered big dogs. Depending on the breed, they usually range from just a few pounds to about 32 pounds. A very small Dachshund would fit in the palm of your hand, while a full grown adult could fit in your lap. Generally, compared to larger dog breeds such as Labradors, German Shepherds, and Retrievers, Dachshunds might not be considered big. However, their energetic and bold personalities will have you convinced they are larger than life!
Dachshunds are known to be very energetic and active dogs. They have a lot of energy and enjoy getting out for daily exercise. Their small stature does not mean they don't need a good amount of activity in their day-to-day lives. A tired Dachshund is a well-mannered Dachshund. It is recommended that owners give their Dachshunds at least one good walk a day, two if possible, and some playtime. Dachshunds enjoy playing fetch, going on hikes, and swimming.
Dachshunds can be an excellent choice for first-time owners because of their generally friendly demeanor and low-maintenance care requirements. These small, active pups enjoy living in a variety of living environments and they easily get along with children and other pets making them an ideal fit for new owners. They are also quite comical and loyal companions. A first-time owner should remember that Dachshunds require daily exercise to help keep them healthy and active.
The amount of time that you need to dedicate to training your Dachshund or any other dog will depend on your goals for the animal and the age of the dog. Generally, a good rule of thumb is to commit to providing training for at least 10 minutes per day, although it is highly recommended to provide 1-2 hour-long sessions for basic obedience training and puppy training at least twice a week. The duration and frequency of your sessions should also be tailored to your dog's age and personality.
