Questions & Answers
Dachshunds are known for their unique build and heavily-semblant facial features. They have a distinct, elongated body shape and short legs, stopping them from keeping up with larger breeds on a walk. They have a knack for spreading joy and fitting into any sized family due to their small size and gentle nature. The Dachshund is one of the oldest breeds, originating in Germany in the 16th century. With such a rich history and interesting physical features, the most interesting thing about Dachshunds is their devotion to their owners.
Dachshunds are not hypoallergenic, so anyone with allergies should take caution when considering these canine companions. As shedding dogs, they release dander, which is the most common cause of allergic reactions, and their fur can trigger asthma attacks in sensitive individuals. However, there are some things allergy sufferers can do to reduce the risk of discomfort when owning a Dachshund.
Dachshunds need a nutritionally balanced diet that is tailored to their age, size, and energy needs. It's best to speak with your veterinarian about which diet is best for your pet, as he or she will be able to provide recommendations on food choices as well as portion sizes and feeding frequencies. Generally, a commercial food specifically for small-breed dogs, such as a Dachshund, will keep your pet nourished and healthy.
Yes, Dachshunds can have special requirements. Depending on the individual Dachshund's behavior, they may need some extra attention, including additional training, socialization, and exercise. Being naturally stubborn, it is important to have patience and consistency when it comes to training. Physical activity and mental stimulation are also important for these long-bodied, short-legged dogs, so implementing a routine exercise program is recommended. Socialization and positive reinforcement can help encourage good behavior in Dachshunds, and regular grooming is essential.
Yes, Dachshunds are generally considered to be small dogs. This is due to their average size which is usually no more than 8-9 inches tall. Their body is usually long and low to the ground and their short legs give them a unique appearance. Dachshunds typically weigh in at 16-32 pounds making them a good sized small dog breed. With their long ears, short legs, and lively personalities, Dachshunds make a great companion for those who want to own a small dog.
Dachshunds need regular exercise every day, ideally a combination of indoors and outdoor activities. While the exact amount depends on the individual dog's age, weight and breed, generally speaking, a daily walk of at least 45 minutes plus 10 – 15 minutes of playtime are recommended. For shorter walks, increase the frequency and intensity to ensure your pup gets ample exercise. Many Dachshunds also enjoy swimming, hiking or going to the dog park with their owners. If you want your Dachshund to stay fit and healthy, daily exercise is essential.
Generally, Dachshunds are a friendly, outgoing breed, and they can get along with children just as any other dog would. Children should always be supervised when interacting with any pet, no matter its breed. It is important to teach kids how to interact properly with a pet and to never allow them to be rough or to pull on ears or other parts of the body. When introducing a Dachshund to children, allow the dog to explore and interact at its own pace, and never force interaction.
The amount of training a Dachshund requires varies depending on the age of the dog and the kind of activities you are trying to train them to do. Generally speaking, adult Dachshunds can require up to 30 minutes of dedicated training time per day, while puppies can benefit from 45-60 minutes. If you plan on teaching your Dachshund more specific commands and tasks it is important to adjust this time accordingly. Depending on the progress and skill level of your pup, you might find yourself needing to add additional time to the training regimen.
