Questions & Answers
Dachshunds are a breed of small, short-legged hounds originally bred in Germany in the seventeenth century. They are typically friendly and active dogs with a lot of energy, making them great companions for children or people seeking an active lifestyle. Dachshunds are also highly intelligent, and owners may want to include various activities to both stimulate their minds and help them use up energy. They come in different coat types, all of which require brushing on a regular basis to maintain their beauty.
Whether or not Dachshunds will cause you to have allergies depends largely on the severity of your allergies. If you have mild allergies, you might not have any issue with a Dachshund in your home. However, if your allergies are more pronounced, you may have some reactions to a Dachshund's fur or dander. It is always best to consult your doctor regarding specific allergies and if having a Dachshund is a good choice for you.
Generally speaking, Dachshunds require the same type of diet as other canine breeds. A high quality commercial dog food that contains all of the necessary vitamins and minerals is ideal, but owners may want to consider options like home-cooked meals that are specifically tailored for the particular needs of their pet. Since some Dachshunds are prone to obesity, it's important to keep an eye on portion sizes. It is also a good idea to speak with a veterinarian in order to develop a feeding schedule and get advice on which type of food is best for the canine.
To become the best possible puppy parent for your Dachshund, the best place to begin is by doing your research. Find out what your pup's required daily dietary needs are, how much exercise it will need, what specific breed challenges it may run into, as well as what kinds of health issues are common in the breed. Learn how to train your puppy, the best way to socialize them, and how to keep them mentally and physically stimulated so that they can remain happy and healthy.
Dachshunds come in two distinct sizes: standard and mini. The standard size typically weighs between 16 and 32 pounds and averages 8-9 inches in height at the shoulder while minis come in under 11 pounds and are usually 5-6 inches in height at the shoulder. The American Kennel Club (AKC) recognizes both sizes officially and has done so since the 1800s. The two sizes breed fairly true to type and there is no definite line between them, so it's mostly preference that dictates which size owners choose.
Dachshunds are definitely an active breed of canine. With their elongated body type and short legs, they make great companions for running, walking, and hiking. They are quite passionate when engaging in activities such as retrieving toys and playing fetch. While they may not be able to keep up with more high-energy breeds, Dachshunds will still add a bit of excitement to your daily routine. As they're sprightly breeds, Dachshunds also enjoy chasing games with their owner.
Generally, Dachshunds do get along well with kids. However, you should always supervise young children when they are interacting with your Dachshund. As with any animal, there needs to be a mutual respect for boundaries, and teaching children from a young age how to properly interact with animals is key. Children should learn that touching a dog without their permission is not okay, and should only pet the dog when the dog is relaxed. Dachshunds can make great family pets, and will bond with their family members in a very tight and sure way.
The amount of time you need to dedicate to training your Dachshund will depend on your pup's age, personality, and the type of behavior you would like to teach or correct. Generally, it's recommended to begin with short, positive training sessions lasting 10-15 minutes a day and gradually increasing the length of the session as your pup's training progresses. However, to ensure your pup develops good habits and obedience you need to consistently maintain a routine.
