Questions & Answers
Dachshunds are one of the most unique and interesting dog breeds. They were bred to hunt small animals and burrow into their dens, which is why they have such long bodies and short legs. They come in three different sizes, with their coat lengths varying from smooth to wirehaired. Interestingly, since dachshunds were originally bred to hunt badgers, they are very brave and fearless sometimes to the point of being too eager to defend themselves.
It depends on the individual and the specific allergies they have. Dachshunds do have fur, so if an individual is allergic to animal hair or dander they may be affected. However, the breed itself is not known to be a major trigger of allergies so it doesn't necessarily mean an individual will suffer from allergies if they have a Dachshund. It's a good idea for someone with allergies to spend some time in the presence of a Dachshund before deciding if they should own one and ensure that they are able to manage their allergies with medication or other strategies.
Yes, Dachshunds have special dietary needs. They can be prone to obesity, so having precise daily feed guidelines and feeding very specific types of food is important. Depending on their age, breed, and activity level, Dachshunds can require more or less protein, fat, and carbohydrates. Additionally, if their diet is not balanced correctly, then they can develop serious health problems like kidney failure, liver damage, and pancreatitis. Therefore, it's important to speak with a veterinarian and customize a diet plan that suits the particular needs of your Dachshund.
Preparing your home for your new Dachshund is easy! Firstly, make sure your home is safe for your pup to explore by doing a thorough check for items that could be easily chewed or swallowed. Be sure to get some toys and an area to sleep. Dachshunds require lots of exercise, so setting up a designated outdoor area for them to play would be ideal. Additionally, create a feeding routine and set up a potty area outside to begin potty training.
Dachshunds are a small breed of dog, but can come in a variety of sizes. The general size ranges for a full-grown Dachshund are from 8 to 9 inches in height and usually 12 to 16 pounds in weight; however, this can vary. Miniature Dachshunds are 11 pounds or less, while those that are "tweenies" are between 11 and 16 pounds. There is also a category called "rabbit Dachshund" and these dogs are usually 8 to 9 pounds.
Dachshunds are an incredibly active breed of dog, having evolved to be hunters who could swiftly move through dense underbrush to flush out or track prey. Although generally smaller in size, these small hounds are a real powerhouse of energy. They are happiest when given a good deal of daily exercise, playtime, and mental stimulation. Dachshunds require a vigorous daily walk as well as other activities like fetching, agility training, or running with their human companion. They love to explore and be given access to interesting new scents, sounds, and sights.
Absolutely! Dachshunds are known for being social and family-oriented, so it should come as no surprise that they are usually friendly and tolerant around children. Being naturally intelligent, loyal and affectionate, they typically enjoy spending time with kids and are often willing to play for hours. It's important to note, however, that each individual dog can be different in regards to their personality and temperament.
The amount of time you need to commit to training your Dachshund will depend on your individual pet and their personality. Generally, it is recommended that 15 to 20 minutes per day of intentional training be incorporated into a Dachshund's routine. As your pet's skills and capabilities develop, you can gradually increase the time of training as needed. Some training activities you may choose to engage in with your pet include potty training, basic commands, recall, proper leash walking, or agility challenges.
