Questions & Answers
Dachshunds are an energetic breed of dogs belonging to the hound family. They are lively, friendly, and playful companions that come in a variety of shapes and sizes. While historically used as scent hounds, today Dachshunds are just as suitable for companionship and house pets as any other breed. With their unmistakable long bodies, short legs, alert personalities, and signature howl, it is no wonder Dachshunds have found their way into the hearts of so many.
While Dachshunds are considered to be hypoallergenic, even "hypoallergenic" breeds of dogs can sometimes trigger allergies in certain individuals. Whether or not a Dachshund will cause you to have allergies depends on a variety of factors, such as your level of sensitivity to pet dander, hair, saliva, and other allergens. It is important to note that no breed of dog is completely harmless when it comes to allergies, so if you suffer from allergies it is best to research thoroughly before thinking of getting a Dachshund.
Dachshunds are usually fed a high-quality dry kibble that is specifically formulated for their breed size and energy level. A good diet for Dachshunds should include proteins, fats, carbohydrates, fiber, antioxidants, and other essential vitamins and minerals. It is also important to feed a diet that is specific to their age, health needs, and weight. In addition to a balanced diet, Dachshunds also benefit from occasional nutritionally balanced treats, as long as they are fed in moderation.
The best way to prepare for welcoming a new Dachshund into your home is to ensure you have a comfortable space for them, with food and water bowls, bedding, toys, treats, and other needed items. You should research the breed more to get an idea of any exercise, dietary, or medical needs they may have. It may be helpful to consider enrolling in a puppy training class to learn how to effectively communicate with your Dachshund. Additionally, you should look into any necessary vaccinations as well as flea and heartworm prevention.
Dachshunds may be small in stature, but their big personalities make them a popular breed of dog. According to the American Kennel Club, Dachshunds are typically considered small dogs but when compared to common lap dogs, such as Chihuahuas or Pomeranians, they could be considered larger. Due to their unique body proportions and short legs, the standard size Dachshund can weigh up to 32 pounds while the miniature size can only reach to 11 pounds.
Dachshunds benefit from regular exercise and mental stimulation to stay healthy and happy. They require daily trips outside, such as walks or playtime in a secure, fenced yard, along with indoor play. The amount of exercise for a Dachshund depends on their age and breed type, with younger, smaller Dachshunds needing as much as 30 to 40 minutes per day, while adult miniature breeds require about 20 to 30 minutes a day, and standard and giant-sized breeds need more.
Generally speaking, Dachshunds can get along well with children, but like any other breed, it ultimately depends on the individual dog's temperament. Training the dog, providing structure and clearly-defined boundaries, and restraining them when interactions seem confrontational is key to ensuring a positive and successful relationship between a Dachshund and a child. Taking both the child and the dog into consideration, it is a good idea to expose them to each other gradually, and to provide plenty of supervision during interactions. Being knowledgeable in canine body language also ensures that the relationship is kept safe.
When it comes to training Dachshunds, there is no definitive answer for how many minutes you should dedicate each day. It really depends on your pup and their individual needs and limitations. Generally, it is important to keep in mind that consistency is key. Training should be conducted in short sessions on a daily basis, and the duration and intensity of each session should be tailored to the pup's specific stage of development. As a rule of thumb, you should aim to spend at least 15 minutes a day on training your pup. When they reach adulthood, 20 minutes per day should suffice.
