Questions & Answers
Dachshunds are small, courageous, and playful dogs originating from Germany. They are available in three different coat varieties, including smooth, wire hair, and long hair. They generally have very cheerful and mischievous personalities. Due to their medium build and long body, they may be more prone to back problems compared to other breeds. Therefore, it is important to select a veterinarian who is knowledgeable about this particular breed. Exercise should be closely monitored, allowing for short bursts of activity and plenty of rest. Dachshunds require plenty of mental stimulation to keep them occupied and content.
Dachshunds are not considered hypoallergenic. Though this breed of dog typically sheds very little fur, allergens like dander and saliva can still provoke an allergic reaction in sensitive individuals. To reduce the risk of an allergy flareup, it's important to keep the coat clean and brushed since dirt and dust can gather in the fur and aggravate allergies. If you are worried about allergies, regular trips to the vet and proper preventative care can help significantly reduce allergens in and around the home.
Dachshunds are considered a toy or lap dog, and so it is important that their diet is high-quality and appropriate for their size. A product specifically designed for small breeds is a good option as the kibble size is tailored to their smaller mouths. Look for foods that contain whole meat as the first ingredient and are high in protein. You may also want to investigate natural diets as they may contain more beneficial nutrients and have fewer unnatural additives. The combination of whole grains, proteins, and vegetables can help keep your Dachshund in top condition.
Before you bring your new Dachshund home, it's important to properly prepare. Make sure you have a cozy bed for them to sleep in, as well as a safe place for them to rest whenever they're feeling overwhelmed or anxious. You'll also need to stock up on food, treats, and the necessary supplies such as a collar, leash, and kennel. Be sure to research the breed and familiarize yourself with their specific health and training needs. Additionally, you should consider a potty-training program and puppy classes to start your pup off on the right paw.
Dachshunds come in two different sizes: standard, or miniature. Standard dachshunds can weigh up to 32 pounds and stand at 8-9 inches tall at the shoulder. The miniature dachshund weighs up to 11 pounds and can be between 5-6 inches tall. Generally, a standard dachshund is fully grown at about 2 years of age, while miniature dachshunds are smaller and usually take up to 3 years to reach full size.
Dachshunds usually enjoy taking a dip in the water. Some may require some encouragement or positive reinforcement to foster a love of swimming, but with the right training and support, many Dachshunds are able to learn how to safely enjoy playing in the water. As with all swimming sessions, it is important to make sure the pool or body of water is age and breed-appropriate and the area is supervised at all times. Swimming for regular exercise can be beneficial for Dachshunds, providing both physical and mental benefits.
Dachshunds are known for being friendly, loyal, and affectionate, so they can be a great choice for families with kids. They are generally patient and playful, making them a great choice to share a home with children. While Dachshunds sometimes can display a bit of bossy or overprotective behavior, they are generally easy to train, so with good coaching and boundaries, they can make for a loving and compatible family companion.
The amount of minutes needed per day to train Dachshunds is highly dependent on the individual traits of the breed, as well as the age and experience level of your Dachshund. Typically, a young puppy may require more frequent, shorter training sessions, while an older Dachshund with some experience under their belt may be able to train over longer, more consistent intervals. Most trainers suggest a minimum of 15 minutes daily, split into multiple sessions when possible, plus additional play and exercise outside of training time for your pup to learn the best behavior.
