Questions & Answers
Dachshunds are a unique breed of dog known for their long body and short legs. They originated in Germany and were bred to hunt badgers and other ground-dwelling animals. One fun fact about dachshunds is that they come in a variety of colors including black, brown, gray, fawn, and red. Some dachshunds even have a unique thing called a "dapple" pattern which is a genetic mutation that gives them a multi-colored coat with mottled patches of color.
Dachshunds are generally not considered hypoallergenic, since they can be prone to shedding and thus spread allergens around. Hypoallergenic breeds are less likely to produce dander, saliva, or urine allergens that can trigger reactions in people who are sensitive. While there are a number of breeds that have a lower-shedding coat, the Dachshund is not typically one of them. Even if a Dachshund doesn't shed heavily, it's important to note that no breed can be completely free of allergens.
Dachshunds are a special breed of dog that require a specific diet tailored to their body type and size. Generally speaking, it is important to avoid feeding Dachshunds foods that are high in fat and sugar, such as chocolate, grapes, onions, and raw meat. Additionally, some common human snacks, such as popcorn, nuts, and raisins, should also be avoided.
Preparing for a new Dachshund can be a fun and rewarding experience. Before your pup arrives, make sure you have everything you need including food, a water and food bowl, a crate, toys, treats, and a collar. Shop around for quality products that fit your pet’s size and personality. Research Dachshunds and learn about their unique personalities, temperament, and special needs. While your pup is still young, enrolling him/her in an obedience class may be an effective way to help his/her development and relationship with their family.
Dachshunds typically range in size from 8 to 32 pounds, and measure from 8 to 12 inches at the shoulder. Although the miniature version, nicknamed the "weenie dog," is smaller than its larger counterpart, their long, slender bodies typically remain the same. Depending on the variety, a Dachshund may never reach more than 8 pounds, while a standard-sized can exceed 32 pounds. The size of a Dachshund is determined at birth, but continues growing until the age of one. After their first birthday, they stop growing and should reach their full size.
The amount of time you should spend walking your Dachshund each day depends on a variety of factors such as the animal's age, health and activity level. Generally speaking, a safe guideline for time spent out walking your canine companion is 15-20 minutes per session, twice per day. This gives your Dachshund time to rest and can help to prevent any sudden increases in activity that could lead to stress or injuries. Longer walks should be reserved for the weekends, where you can take extended amounts of time to ensure your pet is getting the proper exercise and mental stimulation.
Dachshunds typically get along very well with other pets. However, as with any pet, each dog has its own personality. Some Dachshunds are more outgoing and will interact happily with other animals. Other Dachshunds may be more timid or aloof and may not get along as easily with other pets. In order to ensure successful integration with other animals, it's important to properly socialize your Dachshund from an early age.
Dachshunds are often considered smart dogs due to their level of loyalty and willingness to learn new skills. They have a variety of unique traits and instinctively know how to please their owners. When trained correctly, Dachshunds have a knack for understanding commands and responding accordingly. Additionally, they retain information quickly and have good problem-solving skills, making them one of the most intelligent breeds of canine. As they are very alert and energetic, they are also eager to please which makes them ideal for a variety of training regimes.
