Questions & Answers
Dachshunds are a small, loyal and outgoing breed of dog. Known for their long bodies and short legs, these curious pet pals usually weigh between 16 and 32 pounds. Dachshunds are people-pleasers and enjoy most interacting with their human families. They are generally quite easy to train and eager to learn, although they can also be strong-willed. As with any breed, Dachshunds require regular exercise, and despite their short legs, they are quite good at running and running around.
It is not likely that a Dachshund would be considered hypoallergenic. While there are certain hypoallergenic breeds out there, the Dachshund is not generally considered to be one due to its thick double coat and their presence on allergen lists. It is always important to keep in mind that the individual breed is not the only factor in determining an individual pet's allergen load. Variables such as diet, environment, and grooming habits can all play a role in the effects that a pet may have on an individual's allergies.
Dachshunds are unique dogs with special dietary needs that should be met for optimal health and development. Like all dogs, they should get the proper nutrient balance from a good-quality diet specifically for their size and life stage (puppy, adult, or senior). For Dachshunds specifically, lean proteins like fish, poultry, beef, and lamb are great sources of energy and keep their stomachs happy. Foods high in carbohydrates like potatoes and rice should be limited since Dachshunds are prone to gaining weight easily.
Preparation for a new Dachshund is key to ensure a successful relationship with your pet. Start by purchasing all necessary items such as a collar, leash, crate, bed, toys, food and water bowls, and grooming supplies. Gather all the necessary documents for your pup such as registration, health records, and vaccination schedule. Invest in Dachshund-friendly accessories like ramps to help them get up and down from furniture, and review proper Dachshund handling techniques to avoid injury to your pup's back.
The size of your Dachshund puppy will vary depending on the exact breed you have. Generally, Dachshunds come in two sizes -miniature and standard. In general, miniature Dachshunds will grow to be approximately 8-11 inches in length when full-grown. Standard Dachshunds will grow to be somewhere in the 12-16 inch range when fully mature. Additionally, Dachshunds can weigh anywhere from 8-32 pounds, depending on the exact breed and the size of the dog.
Yes, in most cases, you can take your Dachshund running. It is important to ensure that your Dachshund is healthy enough to do so before you start a running program. Take your Dachshund on a vet visit so they can make sure your pup is fit to run. High-intensity exercise like running can be hard for the Dachshund’s distinct back and bone structure. Because of this, it is not recommended to start with rigorous running and instead to work up to longer running distances and/or speeds gradually.
Generally speaking, yes, Dachshunds can get along well with other pets. They are loyal, affectionate and devoted to their family so they can form strong bonds with other pets in the household. While some Dachshunds may be wary or territorial around other animals, with proper socialization from a young age and with proper supervision, Dachshunds can even become best friends with cats, birds, and other small dogs.
The exact amount of time you need to dedicate to training a Dachshund each day will depend on a number of factors, such as the age of your dog and the complexity of the task you are trying to train them to do. For basic obedience, an average of 10-15 minutes per day should be more than adequate. However, to really get your Dachshund to master more complex tasks, it would be wise to invest a minimum of 30-50 minutes per day.
