Questions & Answers
Dachshunds are sure to be a conversation piece when you’re out and about! Their distinct shape and size make them an interesting breed. Dachshunds vary in coat types, all of which can be especially eye-catching. As well, they’re a very sociable breed, known to be friendly and outgoing. Not to mention, they’re hilarious to watch! Many Dachshund owners talk about their pet’s amusing behavior, from their unique way of play, to their quirky personalities.
Dachshunds are not generally considered hypoallergenic. Although they have a short coat that requires minimal texture, they do shed, which can aggravate allergies. Additionally, their skin oils, saliva, and dander can trigger allergic reactions in people. While there is no scientifically accepted definition of a hypoallergenic dog, those that are often referred to as such typically have a low dander fur and coat, and do not shed.
Dachshunds are naturally omnivorous though their diet is predominantly meat-based. A well-balanced diet for a Dachshund should include high-quality, protein-rich dry dog food, complemented with wet canned foods, fresh fruits, vegetables, and proteins such as cooked eggs, chicken, beef, and fish, as well as occasional treats. It's important to keep an eye on your Dachshund's caloric intake to keep them in a healthy weight range.
Before bringing your new Dachshund home, there are a few things you should do to ensure it has everything it needs to live a happy and healthy life. First, decide where your Dachshund is going to sleep and make sure to have a cozy bed and warm blanket ready. You'll also want to research the breed-specific diet they need to follow so you can purchase the necessary food. You should also set up a routine for your new pup ahead of time to simplify the transition.
Dachshunds are usually between 8 and 9 inches tall when measured from the withers (highest point of the shoulder blades) and usually weigh between 16 and 32 pounds. The size of your Dachshund puppy will depend on a few factors, such as the size of its parents, their gender and type of Dachshund. Generally, the miniature Dachshund will be the smallest, while the standard Dachshund will be the largest. However, it's best to get an idea of your puppy's size by consulting with your breeder or veterinarian.
The amount of physical exercise needed for a healthy Dachshund depends on their age, size, general health, and activity level. It is recommended that they get between 30-60 minutes of exercise a day, based on those factors. This can be broken down into several shorter walks, as well as playing activities. Varying your dog's activities and terrain can help to keep them motivated and ensure maximum benefit. However, always ensure that the activities are appropriate for your specific Dachshund, and always pace their activities depending on their health and energy level.
Dachshunds can make wonderful pets for first-time owners, provided that the owner is willing to commit to learning about the breed. These lovable dogs are highly intelligent and, with the proper training and socialization, can be good-natured friends and family members in any home. Dachshunds may be a relatively small breed, but they have big personalities. They are generally affectionate, friendly, and loyal, and they love to snuggle and play with their owners.
The exact amount of minutes each day that you should train a Dachshund depends on the age, breed, and lifestyle of the dog. Ideally, each Dachshund should have a minimum of thirty minutes a day of exercise or outdoor activities to stay healthy. However, training sessions that focus on addressing bad behaviors and introducing tricks can take longer. Depending on your Dachshund's temperament and activity level, you may want to aim for forty-five to sixty minutes of training sessions a day to produce the best results.
