Questions & Answers
A Dachshund is a small, long-bodied dog breed that belongs to the hound family. Originally bred to hunt badgers and other small animals, Dachshunds are intelligent and independent with a friendly, yet energetic temperament. They have a smooth, short-haired coats that come in black and tan, red, chocolate, or cream and silver. Dachshunds have a unique "hot dog" shape that makes them one of the most recognizable and popular breeds around the world. They come in two sizes: standard and miniature.
Dachshunds are not considered to be hypoallergenic dogs. Although they have short coats that shed minimally, they do produce dander, which is the main cause of most people's dog allergies. Therefore, those who suffer from allergies should consider a different breed of dog, such as a Poodle or Schnauzer, which are both considered hypoallergenic breeds. It's important to note that no dog is completely hypoallergenic, as all breeds can cause allergic reactions in some people.
Dachshunds have unique dietary needs that should be taken into account. Generally, Dachshunds need a complete and balanced diet with the correct amounts of protein, carbs, and fat. They tend to have a big appetite and may have difficulty regulating their food intake. High-quality proteins are important for their joints and digestive health, while healthy fats can help maintain a healthy coat and provide energy. A well-balanced diet also helps keep their weight at a healthy level and strengthens their immune system.
If you are considering getting a Dachshund, there are some essentials that you should buy before bringing your new pup home, such as a collar with ID tag, food and water bowls, and a lead and harness. Additionally, you may want to get a few toys, a bed, and a crate to use for potty training and during times when they are home alone. Other items such as grooming products, treats, or a doggy door can help make your experience with your pup more enjoyable.
Considering that average Dachshunds are considered small dogs, and smaller Dachshunds even qualify as toy dogs, most people consider them to be small rather than large. In terms of height, a Dachshund stands anywhere from 8-9 inches at the shoulder which isn't considered large, but rather, small. However, their body shape is spread-out, giving them a longer appearance. When you look at the overall size, a full-grown Dachshund will typically weigh 16-32 pounds.
Many Dachshunds love to swim! Generally, these compact dogs enjoy the activity and may even take it up as a hobby. As with any breed, not all Dachshunds are the same and some might be cautious of the water, but with some positive reinforcement and a patient approach, these dogs can become confident swimmers. Like any swimming activity, safety is always a priority, and Dachshund owners should ensure that their pup has the proper life vest and is supervised in water at all times.
Dachshunds can most certainly make great family dogs! They are loyal, affectionate, and usually easy to train. Their small size makes them a perfect addition to both a household with children, as well as one with older residents. Dachshunds thrive on attention, exercise, and companionship, making them an ideal pet for families that can provide those things. Their even temperaments lend themselves to getting along with other pets in the home. However, owners must be aware that Dachshunds need to be properly socialized.
Training your Dachshund can be a rewarding experience, and may even deepen your bond with your pup. The first and most important part of training any dog is establishing a trusting relationship. Spend plenty of quality time with your Dachshund; take it on walks, play games, or teach it simple tricks. Additionally, positive reinforcement is key! It's important to focus on rewarding your puppy for the desired behaviour rather than punishing undesired ones, as this will only create distrust. Make sure to start with simple commands that are easily achievable for your pup.
