Questions & Answers
Dachshunds have quite a few things that make them unique and interesting! Perhaps the most noteworthy is their long, low stature combined with their incredible speed and agility; Dachshunds are quick and they can fit into small spaces which makes them great for digging and hunting. They also have unique personalities that can range from bold and courageous to loyal and loving. Furthermore, they have an incredibly long lifespan, often living to be 15 or more years old, adding even more time to enjoy their loyal companionship.
It is possible that Dachshunds could cause you to have allergies, but it is not guaranteed. Allergies are caused by a person's individual immune system reacting to certain proteins found in pet dander, saliva, and fur. While all dogs contain these proteins, the amount present may vary from breed to breed. Some people may be more likely to be affected by traits such as coat length, shedding levels, and dander production. That being said, Dachshunds are generally considered to have a lower propensity to produce allergens than other breeds.
Dachshunds require a well-balanced, nutritionally complete diet in order for them to stay healthy and happy. Premium kibble designed specifically for their size and age, such as those made with proteins from animal sources, can provide them with the essential vitamins, minerals, and fatty acids they need. It's also important to provide them with a variety of fresh, whole foods such as lean meats, fresh fruits and vegetables, and cooked grains which help boost their overall wellbeing.
Yes, Dachshunds have some special needs to consider before you decide to make one part of your family. They are an energetic breed and require at least 30 minutes of physical activity a day, ideally in a securely-fenced outdoor play space. They do not do well in apartments or small living quarters and need access to a large enough area to move around in. Dachshunds also require regular grooming to maintain the coat's condition and prevent painful mats from forming.
Dachshunds are indeed considered to be a small dog breed. Generally, they have long bodies and short legs, which gives them a surprisingly long stride. Their size ranges from 11 to 32 pounds and they usually reach 8 to 9 inches at shoulder height. This makes them about the size of a small terrier or a medium-sized Chihuahua. Dachshunds come in several different coat types and colors and love to play and scurry around wherever they go. All of these qualities make them one of the most popular breeds of small dogs.
Dachshunds are active dogs that need daily exercise, like walking, running and playing. They require at least an hour of exercise a day, including 30 minutes of running and playing. Depending on the size and energy level of the Dachshund, a longer exercise time may be required. If the Dachshund is an indoor dog, more indoor play such as running up and down the stairs, chasing a toy, and fetching a ball may be necessary to meet exercise requirements.
Dachshunds can be great family dogs if socialized early and properly with children. Usually affectionate and loyal, they tend to form strong bonds with their owners which can also extend to members of the household. With proper guidance, they can learn to participate in games with children and be surprisingly tolerant in play. While Dachshunds may be energetic and require regular exercise, they can also be content to lay on the couch with their family, making them a good choice for families that are looking for an affectionate companion.
Training a Dachshund, like any other breed, requires dedication and patience. It can be a challenging experience, but with the right strategies, a great deal of patience, and a consistent schedule, you can help your dachshund become the best version of themselves. Starting with basic commands such as sit, stay and come, and building up their skills over time, you can teach your Dachshund the fundamentals of good behavior. Be sure to reward them for a job well done and to keep the sessions short (about 10 minutes) so the experience is a positive one.
