Questions & Answers
Dachshunds belong to the hound family and are often classified as member of the "Scent Hound Group," as they are bred to use their strong sense of smell to detect their prey. They were originally used in Germany to hunt badgers and small game. As a result of their hunting background, Dachshunds tend to be brave, independent, and loyal. They come in either a smooth-haired, a longhaired, or wirehaired coat varieties and are generally friendly and affectionate. They tend to be moderately active families and do well both indoors and out.
Dachshunds may or may not cause an allergic reaction in people. However, many times people who are allergic to other dog breeds are not allergic to Dachshunds. As with any dog breed, it is possible that you may experience an allergic reaction to a Dachshund, so it is important to spend some time with one before committing to the breed. Generally, pet dander and saliva are the two main causes of dog allergies, so regular brushing and wiping down of a Dachshund's fur may help to decrease the potential for allergies.
Yes, Dachshunds have their own unique dietary needs, particularly when it comes to foods that are high in calories and low in fiber, such as commercial dog treats and snacks. When feeding your Dachshund, try to provide them with a diet that is higher in protein and fiber to help them maintain their ideal body weight. Additionally, it is important to make sure your Dachshund is receiving the proper vitamins and minerals to keep them in good health.
Preparing your home for a new Dachshund companion is an important first step to ensure your pet has a warm and safe environment. First, you'll want to puppy-proof your home by making sure any potentially hazardous areas are blocked off, such as stairs or any furniture with sharp edges that they could hurt themselves on. Additionally, designating a specific space where they can go to potty and setting up a safe space, such as a comfy crate, can help your new pup learn the basics of house training.
Dachshunds are usually classified as medium-sized dogs, as their average weight is between 16 and 32 lbs. Generally speaking, they are considered small, but compared to other dog breeds like Chihuahuas, Dachshunds tend to be larger. Even though their small frame and short legs can give them the appearance of a bigger breed, they are still considered a smallto medium-sized breed. They can be found in many sizes, from miniature to standard, but typically their size will fall somewhere in the middle.
The exact amount of exercise needed for your Dachshund will depend on their age, size, and overall health. Generally, they will need about 30 minutes of physical activity every day, including a combination of walking and playtime. This could include a leisurely stroll through the park or engaging games such as fetch or tug-of-war. This does not necessarily need to be all at once and can be broken up into several shorter sessions of 10 to 15 minutes each.
Dachshunds can be a great choice for first-time owners as they are an intelligent and affectionate breed. Their small size and grooming requirements make them ideal for those not familiar with the commitment and responsibility these four-legged friends require. Additionally, these loving pups love spending time with their family and do not need a large amount of exercise. Though at times they can be stubborn, if trained properly from an early age, their loving personalities reveal themselves which make them perfect for beginners. Proper training is key with all dogs, and Dachshunds are no different.
The amount of time you should spend training your Dachshunds will depend on your ultimate goal. However, for general obedience training, it is recommended to spend at least 10 to 15 minutes per day with your pup. If you'd like to specialise in competitions or tricks, then spending between 30 to 40 minutes per session, at least 3 days a week, would be beneficial. Remember to break up any sessions into short chunks, a few times per day, as Dachshunds tend to have shorter spans of concentration and will more easily retain the knowledge they are being taught.
