Questions & Answers
A Dachshund is a breed of small hound-type dog originating in Germany as a scent and badger-hunting dog. These spunky little dogs typically have a long body, short legs, and droopy ears and come in a variety of colors, including brindle, red, black, and cream. Dachshunds tend to be energetic and loyal companions, although they also possess a certain stubbornness and mischievousness. They are friendly and affectionate but require quite a bit of patience and consistency to train.
Managing allergies in households with Dachshunds can be a challenge. It is important to take preventative measures including bathing the pup regularly, brushing its fur, vacuuming and dusting frequently, and cleaning surfaces such as bedding and floors. In some cases, these steps may not be enough, and it may be beneficial to invest in an allergen-removing air purifier for the house. Additionally, an anti-allergen spray can be used to reduce the dog’s dander in high-traffic areas.
Yes, Dachshunds have specific dietary needs that should not be ignored. Generally, these dogs do best with a diet that is high in protein yet low in fat, carbs, and sugar. Dachshunds need a balanced diet tailored to their size and energy needs. Additionally, they should only be fed appropriately sized meals that should be divided throughout the day to prevent digestive issues. Owners should also supplement their Dachshund's diet with calcium and other vitamins, as well as low-sodium treats to help promote good joint health.
To properly prepare your home for your new Dachshund, you should start by ensuring that the home is generally safe for a dog. Be sure to get rid of any sharp objects or toxic substances, cover or block off any openings into the walls or other parts of the house, and eliminate any potential choking hazards. Next, make sure there are places your dog can comfortably rest and nap, like a bed, blankets, or cushions. Finally, provide them with plenty of toys and interactive items such as a kong, treats, a sturdy chew toy, etc.
Dachshunds are actually considered to be a small to medium-sized breed of dog. When compared to other breeds such as German Shepherds, which are considered to be a larger breed of dog, Dachshunds are much smaller in size and weight. According to the American Kennel Club's breed standard, Dachshunds typically range in weight from 16 to 32 pounds and should be no more than 8 inches tall at the shoulder.
An ideal walking pattern for a Dachshund will vary depending on the individual dog and their energy levels. Generally, a Dachshund should receive at least 20-30 minutes of exercise a day. Of that exercise, 15-20 minutes should consist of walking. This should be broken down into several walks per day, as Dachshunds do not have a great capacity for endurance, and their spines can easily be strained with long walks. Walking your Dachshund allows them to receive the necessary physical and mental stimulation needed to stay healthy.
Absolutely! Dachshunds, also called sausage dogs, are very loyal and make great family companions. It is true that their signature short stature and vocal nature can make them seem intimidating at first, but, once given time and patience, they quickly become loving and affectionate family members. Dachshunds thrive on human companionship, so they do best in households that have people around more often than not.
Training Dachshunds requires a consistent time commitment and there is no definite answer for how much time is necessary each day. It is important to establish a routine and set aside time for training every day. It is beneficial to start with short training sessions of 10-15 minutes to make sure your pup is focused and engaged. Gradually increase the time for training depending on the complexity of commands or tricks you are teaching.
