Questions & Answers
Dachshunds are a type of courageous and playful hounds that originated in Germany. They are well known for their long and slender bodies and short legs, which make them great for burrowing. They range in size from standard to miniature and come in a variety of coat colors, including red, cream, gray and black. Dachshunds are quite intelligent, but require obedience training. They are also quite loyal and make great family pets. However, they can be quite possessive and territorial and require lots of attention.
Managing allergies with Dachshunds is possible if you take proper precautions. Since they are a breed that can shed, it is important to brush and groom your Dachshund regularly to reduce allergens in the home. Additionally, vacuum and dust frequently to reduce dust mites and other allergens. If that isn't enough, you may also consider changing the type of food you are feeding to a specific food made to reduce dander.
Yes, Dachshunds generally have specific dietary needs due to their small size and unique anatomy. A diet should be formulated that provides the right amount of protein, fat, and carbohydrates, along with essential vitamins and minerals. Their unique build requires them to have a sufficient calcium/phosphorus balance. Special care should be taken to ensure Dachshunds don't get too overweight, as they have joint issues that can be exacerbated.
Preparing for the arrival of your new Dachshund is an exciting and important process. The first step is to have the necessary supplies a bed, food and water bowls, grooming supplies, and a collar or harness and leash. If you'll be keeping your dog indoors, you should also consider baby gates and boundaries (crate training may be recommended). In addition, you should research and have a basic understanding of the breed, including common dietary and health needs.
Dachshunds can range from 8 to 9 inches tall and usually weigh between 16 and 32 pounds when they reach full adulthood. They have a long and slim body, small legs, and expressive eyes; they usually remain quite small even into adulthood. Generally, per the American Kennel Club, Dachshunds should have a height of between 5 and 8 inches at the shoulder. Large Dachshunds can reach up to 9 inches in height. However, it should be noted that there is no such thing as an overly large Dachshund.
The amount of walking a Dachshund should do per day depends on several factors such as age, breed, size, activity level, and overall health. Generally speaking, an adult Dachshund should get a minimum of 20 minutes of exercise each day, which should include a brisk walk of 10-15 minutes. However, if your Dachshund is a puppy or is obese, it is advised that you increase their walking time to between 45-50 minutes per day.
Dachshunds are known for their loyal and loving personalities, making them a great choice for families looking for a companion. They are good with children, provided they've been socialized from a young age, and get along well with other pets. They require daily exercise, and enjoy walking with their owners. Dachshunds are clever and eager to please their people, so they're easy to train, and they make great watchdogs. They're small and portable, which makes them easy to take on road trips and family vacations.
It is recommended to train your Dachshund for at least 10 minutes per day, slowly increasing the amount of training over time. You should start out by letting your Dachshund get used to the training environment and building trust with your dog. Once your dog is comfortable, you can then increase to around 20 minutes of training per day. As your dog gets more used to the training and more advanced skills, you may even want to bump it up to 30 minutes per day.
