Questions & Answers
Dachshunds are a breed of dog belonging to the hound family. Though they modestly stands between 8 to 9 inches tall, they are renowned for a fun-loving and courageous attitude. Weighing between 16 to 32 pounds, these pooches come in three varieties smooth, wirehaired, and longhaired. They also come in a variety of color patterns, such as brindle, wild boar, black and tan, and dapple. These unique-looking dogs are very loyal and make great family pets.
Dachshunds are not considered hypoallergenic, meaning they may not be the best choice for those with certain sensitivities. Although each individual's allergies are unique, certain breeds may trigger mild to severe allergic reactions. In some cases, Dachshunds are found to be more likely to cause allergic reactions than other breeds, making them fairly unsuitable for those individuals with known sensitivities.
Dachshunds, like all dogs, require an optimal and healthy diet. All life stages of the Dachshund should be considered when determining dietary needs. Puppies and younger dogs should have large amounts of protein to support their growth. Older dogs should have specific high protein foods focusing on joint health. Additionally, Dachshunds are prone to weight gain, so controlling portion size is key. You may also want to look into feeding a high-fiber option to support gastrointestinal health.
Generally speaking, yes, Dachshunds do have special requirements. As a small-breed dog, they tend to need a higher-calorie diet that better meets their nutritional needs. Additionally, their short legs and short spine put them at risk for suffering from back problems, so they need to be provided with the proper bedding and exercise in order to stay healthy and fit. Along with nutritional and physical needs, they also require time and attention, as they can become overly attached to their owners, which can lead to anxiety if neglected.
Dachshunds come in three standard sizes standard, miniature, and kaninchen (rabbit) all with long, slender bodies and short legs. The standard size is the largest, reaching 16-32 lbs; miniatures are slightly smaller at 11-16 lbs; while kaninchen are the smallest, typically weighing 9 lbs or less. All three sizes have a unique body shape and an untiring devotion to their owners.
Absolutely! Dachshunds are active, alert, and curious. They are sturdy little dogs that love to explore and love a good game of fetch or chase. Since they are so small, they can often get up on furniture and counters, so they don’t usually need to be taken out on a leash for walking, although it is recommended. They enjoy a good daily romp in the yard but can burn out quickly, so only short bursts of activity are ideal for them.
Dachshunds can be great family dogs, depending on the particular dog and the family. While Dachshunds can bond strongly with their family, they may be stubborn and difficult to train due to their independent streak. However, with patience and consistency, they can make a wonderful addition to the family. They are lively companions who, while not demanding of attention, are loyal and routinely display their affection towards their caretakers. Dachshunds may also be relatively low-maintenance in terms of grooming and exercise needs, especially when compared to other breeds.
To train your Dachshund, start by creating a regular routine that includes potty training, crate training, and teaching basic obedience commands. Start training early and use positive reinforcement in the form of treats, verbal praise, and petting as rewards when your pup follows commands. Set consistent boundaries and it's important to never allow your Dachshund to engage in behaviors that you don't want it to do as an adult, such as growling or barking.
