Questions & Answers
Dachshunds are an incredibly unique and distinct breed of dog that belong to the hound family. Easily recognizable by their short legs and long, tapering bodies, they are usually classified in the toy group. Often called the “wiener dog” or “sausage dog” given their shape, Dachshunds come in two sizes—standard and miniature. No matter the size, all Dachshunds share the same distinct features such as their long snouts, short muzzles and tall, floppy ears.
Generally speaking, it is not likely that a Dachshund will cause you to have allergies, though it is possible. Dachshunds have short fur which is less likely to cause allergies than the longer fur of other breeds. Furthermore, Dachshunds, like all dogs, will lose some of their fur overtime, and this dander, or shed fur, is more likely to cause the allergies.
Dachshunds should not be fed chicken bones, dairy, or chocolate. Foods that are high in fat, sugar, and salt, including processed foods, should also be avoided. Though tempting, table scraps should always be kept away from Dachshunds. They should also be kept away from uncooked bones or any food that has not been specifically formulated for Dachshunds' nutritional needs.
Before you bring a new Dachshund into your home, you should be prepared for their temperament, needs, and daily routines. Research the breed and familiarize yourself with the basic grooming and care requirements. Ensure that you have the supplies and time to give your new pup the attention it needs to thrive. Make sure your home is puppy-proofed so your new furry family member won't be harmed. Have the supplies to house train your pet, such as some housebreaking pads, pee-pee pads, and specific type of kennel.
The size of your Dachshund puppy will depend on the body type and age of the puppy. Generally, Dachshunds come in two sizes Standard Dachshunds reach a height at the withers of around 6-9 inches and weigh 20-30lbs while Miniature Dachshunds measure 5-6 inches at the withers and weigh 11-12lbs. However, the size of the puppy you get may vary depending upon genetics, gender and other factors.
Dachshunds are an active breed and require plenty of exercise to stay healthy and happy. While some Dachshunds may be content to curl up on the couch, others may need a brisk walk, run around in the yard, or a good game of fetch. While the amount of exercise any individual dog needs typically depends on age, health, and metabolism, it is generally recommended that active adult Dachshunds receive at least 30-60 minutes of physical activity daily. Exercise can include activities such as leash walks, swimming, or training sessions.
Yes, Dachshunds are typically friendly and outgoing dogs that usually make wonderful family companions. These social dogs tend to get along great with children, but it is important to supervise interaction between small kids and any pup. Teaching children to be gentle and respectful with all animals is essential and can help ensure a harmonious relationship between kids and Dachshunds. Socialization is also key to helping Dachshunds become comfortable in new situations and around other people and animals.
Dachshunds are certainly some of the most clever canines around. Not only are they known for easily memorizing commands and understanding instructions, they are often praised for solving problems and adapting to difficult environments. Owners of Dachshunds often report that their pet is always eager to learn and is usually able to master new tasks quickly. Dachshunds have a reputation for being friendly and can easily be trained to become sociable and obedient.
