Questions & Answers
Dachshunds are a unique breed of small hound dog that are classified in the AKC (American Kennel Club) as part of the hound group. These boysized pups have short legs and long bodies, plus long ears and snouts; so they were initially bred to hunt foxes and badgers during Germany's medieval days. Because of their sturdy build, they make great companions in a wide variety of sizes -from tiny to standard size. This breed is also known for being curious, lovable, and attentive, making them excellent family pets.
Dachshunds are not considered to be hypoallergenic. People who suffer from allergies should know that Dachsunds, like all other dogs, produce allergens in the form of dander, saliva, and urine. Despite the fact that some breeders might claim that their Dachshunds are hypoallergenic, various studies have shown that no breed of dog is truly hypoallergenic. That being said, there are some breeds that may be better suited for those with allergies than others.
Dachshunds, which are small, long-bodied dogs that come in many different colors, generally eat either commercially-produced dog food or a diet that is specially formulated for them. Dry food is usually recommended, as this can help keep the dog's teeth clean and healthy, however occasional wet food may also be given. A Dachshund's food should be age and size-appropriate; puppies can require up to three meals a day while adult dogs only need one or two meals.
Preparing your home for your new Dachshund is an important step for guaranteeing a safe and comfortable environment. To get ready, first consider the size of the pup they are smaller, so furniture, toys, steps, and similar items should be sized accordingly. Check if electrical and other cords are secure and out of reach to avoid accidental injury. Next, make sure you have an area designated for your pup to use the bathroom.
Dachshunds are small to medium sized dogs typically belonging to the Toy, Miniature, or Standard sizes. The standard size typically grows from 16-32 pounds and can grow from 89 inches tall, while the miniature size will typically stay under 11 pounds and grow to between 5-6 inches tall. Toy size dachshunds will be even smaller, generally weighing between 4-6 lbs and only growing 4-5 inches tall. Of course, any breed of dog can also vary in size due to variance in individual breeds, genetics, and even diet.
Dachshunds can be a great swimming companion, although some individual differences may exist. Breed temperament as well as individual personality characteristics interact with swimming activities. While many dachshunds do love to swim, some may not, so it's important to get to know your pet to see if it's their cup of tea. It can be a fun and engaging for you and your pup, both mentally and physically.
Yes, Dachshunds are a good choice for first-time owners. With their playful, loyal and outgoing personalities, they tend to be a hit with first-time owners who enjoy being active and involved with their pet. Plus, they don't require much space, so they are a great option for those living in apartments and other smaller living spaces. Dachshunds also tend to bond quickly with their owners, so they can make great companions.
The amount of daily training necessary for your Dachshund depends on the age and temperament of your pup. A Dachshund typically requires at least 15-20 minutes of training daily to enforce essential commands and behaviors. However, more time may be necessary to establish additional skills or fully modify problem behaviors. You may find yourself spending up to 45 minutes per day in training on some days, while only a few minutes on others. It is important to remember that consistency is key in teaching your pup and commitment to a daily routine will yield better results than sporadic training sessions.
