Questions & Answers
Dachshunds are an adorable breed of dog that have a lot of fun characteristics. Some fun facts about them include that they were originally bred in Germany to hunt badgers, which is why they got the nickname "little badger dogs." In England, they are referred to as "sausage dogs" because of their long, thin bodies.
Dachshunds are not considered a hypoallergenic breed. While there are some mixed breeds and individuals among the breed who may produce less dander or other allergens, since they are not specifically bred for this trait it cannot be guaranteed across the board. Therefore, it is best to research breeds known to be hypoallergenic to make an informed decision that is suitable for your particular allergies. Additionally, if you are considering getting a Dachshund it may be beneficial to meet with an individual one to evaluate if they cause any unwanted reactions.
Generally speaking Dachshunds have a very robust dietary system and can usually thrive on the same diet as other breeds of dog. However, due to their long spine and deep chest, Dachshunds can be prone to developing a condition called Gastric Dilatation-volvulus or Bloat. This condition is very serious and can be life threatening. Feeding Dachshunds several small meals throughout the day as opposed to one big meal can help to reduce the risk of developing Bloat.
Before getting a Dachshund, it is essential to purchase the necessary supplies such as a bed, food and water dish, grooming supplies, collar and leash, a sturdy and secure crate, toys, and treats. Having these items on-hand will ensure your Dachshund has a safe and comfortable environment. Additionally, it is important to keep up with your dog’s regular vet visits to help them stay healthy and safe. Make sure to check in with your veterinarian about any vaccinations your pooch might need.
Dachshunds are considered small to medium in size compared to other breeds of dogs. Their long bodies give them an appearance of a bigger dog, but in reality, their height typically ranges from 8-15 inches and their weight is typically between 16-32 pounds, making them considerably smaller than the average large breed. Although they can be stocky dogs, they tend to be friendly companions and great lap dogs, fitting in well with a variety of lifestyles.
An exact number isn't set in stone when it comes to how much you should walk your Dachshund each day. Generally speaking, the average amount of walking/exercise recommended for a Dachshund is 30 minutes per day. However, the total amount may vary depending on individual fitness levels and age. For dogs that are younger and more active, you may wish to increase the amount of walking to 45 minutes per day. For senior dogs or dogs with a range of physical limitations, a maximum of 20 minutes per day may be more appropriate.
Dachshunds can indeed make wonderful family dogs. They are generally very loyal and loving towards all family members, adults and children alike. Due to their small size, these canines are well-suited for living in smaller homes such as apartments, but their energetic personalities mean they need some time outdoors to run around and let off steam. Dachshunds are also known for their intelligence and ability to be trained, which can make them an entertaining addition to any home.
Training your Dachshund can be a very rewarding experience. The key is consistency when it comes to training your pooch. Start training early, as soon as your pup is old enough to be handled and learn. It is important to demonstrate patience and positive reinforcement when it comes to training. Make sure you reward them for good behavior by offering treats, cuddles and verbal praise. Start with simple commands and gradually increase difficulty as your pup progresses. Be clear and consistent with your expectations and timing, as this will help them to understand what you expect from them.
