Questions & Answers
Dachshunds are a class of hound-type dogs that are often referred to as sausage dogs due to their long bodies and short legs. They can range in size from miniature to standard and are usually long-haired, but other colors and shorthaired varieties are also available. Dachshunds have become extremely popular in recent years for their playful attitudes and intelligence. They are highly loyal and make great friends.
While Dachshunds are known to be short-haired dogs, they are not considered hypoallergenic. Unfortunately, it is difficult to find a truly hypoallergenic breed, as all dogs produce proteins that can induce allergic reactions in humans. Regular brushing and vacuuming can help reduce the production of dander, but it is best to consult an allergist to find out if a Dachshund is the right dog to own for those with allergies.
Yes, Dachshunds have specific dietary needs due to their unique physiques. Long and low-bodied, they have elongated internal organs, which increases their risk of obesity and gastric bloat. Therefore, it's important to closely monitor what and how much you feed your Dachshund and be aware of your pet's individual needs. Avoid high-fat foods, and limit treats and table scraps. Offer foods with protein, fiber and vitamins.
To become the best puppy parent for your Dachshund, start by researching the breed so you can understand your pup's special needs. Provide plenty of walks and exercise, as Dachshunds need regular activity. Devote quality time to training and socialization to help your pup build confidence and learn basic commands. Ensure that your pup has a healthy diet, since an appropriate meal plan adds nutrition and prevents unwanted behaviors from developing. Visit your vet regularly to keep your pup up-to-date with vaccinations and preventive medical care.
Dachshunds come in two sizes: standard and miniature. The standard size Dachshund typically weighs 18-32 pounds and is 16-32 inches in length, while the miniature size weighs under 11 pounds and is 12 inches or less in length. Other smaller varieties have been bred, though they are not officially recognized by the American Kennel Club. It's important to note that size isn't the only difference between the two types of Dachshunds; they also differ in coat and color, as well as their personalities.
Dachshunds are a lively and active breed that require a fair amount of exercise and playtime each day. Depending on the age, size, and health of the individual dog, recommended exercise for a Dachshund can range from minimal to moderate. Generally, a young and healthy Dachshund should have 30-60 minutes of exercise per day, split into two or three sessions depending on a busy schedule. To achieve optimal health, older dogs should get around 20-30 minutes of exercise several times daily.
Dachshunds typically get along well with other animals, as they are in general friendly and tolerant. However, just like with any breed, some training and socializing is necessary to ensure that they get along with other pets. With proper attentiveness and care from their person, Dachshunds can become great companions for other members of your family, both human and pet. Allowing them to play together in a safe environment helps ensure that your Dachshunds not only coexist peacefully with other pets but that they also share a strong bond.
The amount of time each day required to train Dachshunds will vary as each pup is unique. Generally, it is recommended to set aside between 10-20 minutes per day to work on basic commands such as "sit," "come" and "stay." Depending on the desired behavior, if advanced training is necessary, it may be beneficial to add an additional 10-30 minutes each day. Socializing is also an important part of training, and taking your pup for a walk should be part of your routine.
