Questions & Answers
Dachshunds are an incredibly unique breed of dog, with a wide variety of interesting traits that make them special. From their unique short legs, tall bodies, and elongated snouts, to their mysterious origin, it is no wonder why Dachshunds are so beloved around the world. Additionally, their cheerful and spunky personalities can be as amusing and rewarding as any other breed.
Generally, Dachshunds are considered hypoallergenic, so their fur and dander should not cause any allergic reactions. However, each individual is unique, and if you already have allergies you should consider visiting an allergist before taking on any pet. Further, if you are pet sitting or visiting someone with a Dachshund, bear in mind that even though Dachshunds may not cause you allergies, other animals that the dog has interacted with, such as cats, may trigger an allergic reaction.
Dachshunds do have special dietary needs depending on their activity level, age, and health status. These small dogs do not require large amounts of food, but their nutritional needs are different than other dog breeds. They require a targeted balanced diet that includes essential vitamins and minerals, proteins, fatty acids, and carbohydrates. Feeding a diet appropriate for their breed is essential to maintaining proper weight and providing adequate energy. It is important to consult a veterinarian to determine the best diet for a Dachshund's individual needs.
Preparing for a new Dachshund can be an exciting but challenging experience. First, you should research all the important information necessary to provide for your pet, such as the type of food and supplies they need, as well as any common health concerns. Creating a comfortable and safe space for them is also essential. Make sure you provide your Dachshund with plenty of beds, toys, and items that are specifically designed for their size.
Dachshunds are considered small breed dogs as typically they range in size from 8-9 inches in shoulder height and approximately 11-32 lbs. However, it really depends on the type of Dachshund. There are Standard Dachshunds, which are larger than the other types, and Miniature Dachshunds which are smaller in size. Generally, Dachshunds are not considered 'big dogs' due to their smaller size and tendency to be quite active and playful making them a great fit for those living in an apartment or smaller space.
Generally speaking, Dachshunds should get at least 30 minutes of exercise per day to stay healthy. Walking your pup for 30 minutes will help to keep their muscles toned and increase endurance, strengthen their bones, and potentially lessen behaviors such as barking. To maximize the physical and mental benefits of walking a Dachshund, it is best to increase the minutes to about 45-50 minutes per day. Keep in mind that your particular pup's level of activity will vary depending on age and health. A long walk should accommodate frequent stops for your pup to rest and sniff around.
Yes, Dachshunds make wonderful family dogs! They are loyal companions, possess loving dispositions, and often enjoy spending time with their families. Additionally, they have a surprisingly large amount of energy and make excellent watchdogs. Dachshunds are generally very easy to train, and despite their coat varieties usually require minimal grooming. With the proper training, Dachshunds can be trusted around children and other animals and make a delightful addition to just about any family.
Training a Dachshund can be straightforward with patience and consistency. As with any dog, it is important to create and maintain structure while providing plenty of positive reinforcement. It is essential to be aware that Dachshunds can be independent thinkers and are savvy to repetitious routines; therefore, it is useful to apply variety and patience during training. Utilizing reward-based training methods, specific to Dachshunds, further enhances reinforcement for desired behaviors. Additionally, starting at a young age reinforces the "language" that will be used throughout the dog's life.
