Questions & Answers
The most interesting thing about Dachshunds is their remarkable versatility. These short-legged doggies can run surprisingly fast and have a remarkable work ethic, making them ideal for hunting and sporting. Dachshunds come in two sizes and a variety of colors and coat types. You can find standard Dachshunds who generally weigh between 16 and 32 pounds, as well as miniature Dachshunds who usually weigh in at 11 pounds or less. These pups are loyal and loving family companions, and also make formidable watchdogs given their snappy temperament and alert nature.
Whether or not a Dachshund will cause allergies for you depends on several factors. While Dachshunds are considered a hypoallergenic breed, some people might be sensitive to them nonetheless. If you already have strong allergies to animals, it's suggested you avoid getting a Dachshund. If you don't have any known allergies, yet are worried about potential allergy reactions, try having a few interactions with Dachshunds in different environments before committing to getting one.
Dachshunds typically eat a dry, kibble-based diet that is specifically formulated for dogs. A healthy dachshund diet should include a high-quality dry dog food, supplemented with appropriate amounts of lean meat, poultry, fish, vegetables and grains. Dachshunds can also benefit from healthy treats like boiled eggs, diced chicken, cheese cubes, berries, watermelon and apple slices. It is important to avoid giving them sugary treats as they can have a negative effect on their teeth and gums.
To become the best possible puppy parent for your Dachshund, you should make sure they have a daily routine that includes plenty of exercise, mental stimulation, proper nutrition, vet visits and plenty of love. Establish a routine for such activities as walks, playing, potty training, grooming, social interactions and other activities appropriate to their age and level of training. Give them a variety of training methods to practice new commands and tricks and reward them accordingly when they do something correctly. Provide ample opportunities for them to interact with other animals and people in a safe, positive environment.
The size of a Dachshund varies depending on the type. Standard Dachshunds can range from 8-9 inches tall and weigh 16-32 pounds, while Miniature Dachshunds tend to be between 5-6 inches tall and weigh 11 pounds or less. Also, there is a third size category known as a "Tweenie," which are around 7-8 inches tall and weigh 12-16 pounds. Though they may be small, Dachshunds are very strong and active.
It depends on your Dachshund's age, size, and activity level. Generally speaking, however, many experts recommend that you provide your Dachshund with around 30 minutes of daily exercise, split into two or three walks. Aim to walk your Dachshund twice a day, ideally in the morning and evening, making sure to avoid overly-hot or cold temperatures. Depending on the terrain, your Dachshund's fitness levels, and other variables, you should adjust the duration of each walk accordingly.
Dachshunds, with their long, lovable bodies, can be an excellent choice for families with the right temperament and environment. Known for being loyal and friendly, Dachshunds can become great playmates and cuddle buddies for families of all ages. However, they do require plenty of socialization and training to ensure they remain happy and safe around their human family. With consistent positive reinforcement and plenty of love, Dachshunds will become devoted and supportive family members to you and your loved ones.
Training a Dachshund can be both a rewarding and challenging process, depending on your dog's individual personality and learning style. Despite their sometimes stubborn nature, these dogs are highly intelligent and can learn quickly when provided with consistent, positive reinforcement. Patience and consistency are key when it comes to training a Dachshund, and it may take longer for some dogs to pick up new commands or behaviors than others. By using treats and reinforcement to reward desired behaviors, you can effectively train your Dachshund to become a well-mannered canine.
