Questions & Answers
Dachshunds are small, low to the ground dogs with long bodies and short legs that are known as a courageous and attentive companion. Here are some fun facts about Dachshunds: They are believed to have originated in Germany in the early 1600s; The distinctive “hound” look they are known for comes from crosses between early types of Basset Hounds and various terriers; Dachshunds come in two sizes— standard and mini— and two coat types— smooth and wire-haired.
Whether or not Dachshunds will cause you to have allergies is impossible to predict. Allergic reactions are individual and will depend upon your own unique sensitivities. Some individuals who are allergic to dog saliva and dander may find themselves experiencing symptoms when around a Dachshund. However, this is not guaranteed and it is possible for some individuals to be completely free of allergic reactions even when in contact with a Dachshund. The best way to determine your own reaction to Dachshunds is to spend some time with the breed and observe your reactions.
Dachshunds have a sturdy frame but small stature, so it's important to find a dog food that is specifically designed for their nutritional needs and can help prevent them from becoming overweight. In general, look for a high-quality dog food with quality chicken, lamb, or fish as the primary ingredients and limited carbohydrates, such as potatoes or corn, as filler. For adult Dachshunds, you may want to look for foods that contain joint support supplements and probiotics for digestion.
Before getting a Dachshund, it's essential to be prepared with the necessary items required to provide a safe and comfortable environment for your pup. You should purchase a bed, collar and leash, food and water bowls, puppy toys, nail clippers, flea and tick medication, toothbrush, appropriate treats, brush, and a grooming shampoo. You should also have a crate for when your Dachshund needs to sleep and feel safe while you are gone. Additionally, Choose two recognizable walking routes near family or friends, for safety reasons in case you ever need backup.
The size of your Dachshund puppy will vary depending on the sex and the breed. If your pup is a standard size, he or she will reach about 9 to 10 inches when full-grown. Miniature Dachshunds can generally reach between 6 to 8 inches tall, while Toy Dachshunds will likely stay between 4 to 5 inches tall. Weight for each size category also varies by breed. Standard Dachshunds will usually be 16 to 32 pounds, while the Miniature size averages 11 to 16 pounds and the Toy size averages 4 to 6 pounds.
It depends on your Dachshund's age, health, and fitness level. Generally, a 10-minute walk once a day is enough to keep a Dachshund in shape, but if your pet is young and healthy, you should aim for two 20-minute walks every day. If your Dachshund is older or not very fit, one 10-minute stroll will do, but with frequent breaks and extra playtime to keep them active.
Dachshunds are generally quite good dogs for first-time owners! They are very loyal and inquisitive animals and require little more than a good diet, access to good exercise, and plenty of love to stay content. They are also quite sturdy and can handle a bit of roughhousing, so they make a great companion for active families. As with any new pet, it is important that owners research their breed’s history and behaviors to ensure they have the appropriate skills, resources, and commitment to provide the proper care and environment for their new pet.
The amount of time you will need to train a Dachshund really depends on the individual motivations of the dog, as well as the level of experience of the trainer. The breed itself is known for being smart but sometimes stubborn, so patience and consistency are key. An experienced trainer may be able to cover more ground in 30 minutes, while a beginner may need upwards of an hour.
