Questions & Answers
Dachshunds are often referred to as "sausage dogs" due to their elongated body shape. This unique shape, combined with their independent, loyal and affectionate personalities, makes them one of the most interesting dog breeds. Dachshunds are also known for their courageousness they were bred to hunt badgers and other similar animals which requires a great deal of bravery! While they may not be the quickest of dogs, they definitely have the most enthusiasm when it comes to playing and going on walks.
Although there is some variation among individual Dachshunds, no Dachshund breed has been widely recognized as being hypoallergenic. Dander, the tiny particles of skin and fur that can cause allergic reactions in humans, is produced by all Dachshunds. If you have allergies and would like to include a Dachshund in your household, it is recommended to meet with a breeder to ensure the environment of any prospective puppy is suitable for you.
Dachshunds are prone to back and joint problems and should not be overfed, so it is best to choose a diet that is appropriate for their lifestyle, size, and age. Their diet should be high in protein and low in fat, with plenty of vegetables and fiber-rich grains. Many commercial dog foods are not well-balanced when it comes to the nutritional needs of Dachshunds, so it is best to buy premium, natural dog food.
Dachshunds have their own set of specific requirements to help ensure their long-term health and well-being. As any other breed, they need regular vaccinations, regular vet check ups and monthly preventative treatments such as flea and tick prevention. Depending on their age and if they are housed outdoors, they may need to have their coats and claws maintained too. Additionally, they should be exercised regularly, which may require the assistance of an outdoor-walking harness to guide them safely. It is important to monitor their weight, as they can become overweight and suffer from health related risks.
Dachshunds may seem large when compared to other small dog breeds, but when compared to most larger breed of dogs, they are considered a small breed. Though they may be short-legged, dachshunds can have long, medium, or short coat lengths and can be as long as 16 inches from tip of nose to base of their tail in type that is referred to as a standard. They also can weigh as much as 32 pounds.
It's important to get your Dachshund out for some exercise every day. A healthy recommendation is to walk your Dachshund for at least 20 minutes daily, although the duration can vary depending on the dog's age, health, and energy level. A brisk walk at least twice a day can help keep your Dachshund fit and healthy. Roughly 15 minutes per session should be enough to keep your Dachshund in shape and give them the physical and mental stimulation they need.
Dachshunds can make wonderful family pets if the family is prepared for the time and dedication they need. This breed is loyal, loving, and can be quite playful, bringing much joy into the home. Dachshunds are very social dogs and form strong bonds with their owners. They get along well with children, as long as they are supervised due to their small size and curiosity. They thrive with consistent, gentle training, socialization, and exercise, so a family willing to commit to their needs is ideal.
Training a Dachshund is possible, but it can be more difficult than training other dogs due to their independent spirit and mischievous nature. It requires patience and consistent reinforcement of desired behaviors. Regular, positive interactions coupled with plenty of treats is the best method for teaching vocal commands such as sit, stay and come. Training a Dachshund to accept commands such as these can also strengthen their bond with you. Additionally, they require an abundance of physical and mental stimulation, such as frequent walks and play-time, to help keep them out of trouble.
