Questions & Answers
Dachshunds are small, sausage-looking dogs with short legs, pointy ears, and floppy ears. They have two marking varieties, smooth and wirehaired and come in a variety of coat colors. Dachshunds are friendly and loyal dogs who love to be around their family. They can become overly excited at times and are known to bark excessively. They may be small but they have a ton of energy and need regular exercise. They do well in a home with children but can become jealous if other animals are around.
No, Dachshunds are not hypoallergenic. This breed is known to shed a lot and produces allergens with their fur. These allergens stick to furniture, carpets, clothing, and other surfaces. Those with allergies should be aware that although this breed is considered a low-shedding breed, they are not hypoallergenic and can be a trigger. Even as a small breed, the quantity of dandruff and fur production may create a significant allergen load.
Dachshunds should be fed a nutritionally complete and balanced diet to meet their specific nutritional needs. This can range from store-bought specific dog foods to homemade or raw diets. Regardless of the food chosen, it should always be a high-quality product meant for adult dogs. Quality, age, lifestyle and other factors should be considered when determining which food choice would be best.
Begin by preparing a comfortable home for your new Dachshund. Invest in the necessary items such as a good quality dog bed, a few chew toys, and other safe items he or she can play with. Observe your home to ensure that all toxic plants and everyday items are stored out of reach of your pup. A collar, ID tags, and a leash are essential for your pup's safety. Along with providing your new furry family member a comfortable and safe space, it is important to socialize your Dachshund with other people and pets.
Dachshunds typically fall within a range of weights and heights, with a standard size of 16-32 pounds and 8-9 inches tall at the shoulder. Some miniature Dachshunds are under 11 pounds, while larger Dachshunds can reach over 35 pounds. The same range holds true for height when fully grown. Generally, the body of a Dachshund should be somewhat longer than their height at the shoulder.
Dachshunds can certainly enjoy swimming, though they are not as naturally inclined to it as some other breeds because of their long bodies. Generally, they prefer to stay in shallow water, and some may even dislike going too deep into the water. However, with appropriate training and socialization from an early age, it is possible to get a Dachshund accustomed to swimming and enjoying it. If a Dachshund is introduced properly, they can learn to appreciate swimming as a fun bonding activity with their owner, as well as exercising their muscles.
Yes, generally speaking, Dachshunds do get along with other pets. They are loyal and affectionate and have a good disposition. While they can sometimes display a bit of aggression, especially when their territory is threatened, this usually dissipates with proper training and socialization. Dachshunds are usually friendly with other animals, such as cats, and when introduced properly, most Dachshunds will coexist peacefully. A Dachshund's gentle and playful nature can help to ease any tension between them and other pets.
It depends on the individual Dachshund. Generally, Dachshunds should be trained for at least fifteen minutes every day. Of course, depending on the age and experience of your Dachshund, amounts of training time can still vary. For puppies, short but consistent training sessions for 10-15 minutes per day are recommended. If its an older Dachshund you're training, you may need to increase to twenty to thirty minutes a day or more, depending on how quickly your Dachshund picks up the behaviors you are teaching.
