Questions & Answers
Dachshunds are known for their long, low appearance and fierce loyalty. They are also known for having a big attitude in a small package! Dachshunds come in a variety of colors and sizes. The breed was first developed in Germany in the 1600s and used mainly for hunting badgers, hence its name which translates to 'badger dog'. A fun fact about the Dachshund is that they are capable swimmers and enjoy playing in the water. Their ability to dig is second to none and they also have generally good hearing.
Dachshunds are not considered hypoallergenic, meaning they may cause allergic reactions for those with allergies or asthma. While they may produce less fur than other dogs and they are believed to produce less dander, they are still a breed of dog that may trigger allergies if they shed hair or dander. Allergies to dander which come from the saliva, skin, and urine of pets may be triggered by exposure to any type of pet fur or dander.
Dachshunds are known for their voracious appetites and are generally regarded as omnivorous. As part of a balanced diet, owners should make sure their Dachshunds are receiving high-quality dog food, as well as treats and snacks that are nutritionally sound. But owners should also keep in mind that the nutritional needs of dogs can vary across breeds and ages, so consulting a veterinarian can be beneficial in creating a meal plan.
If you are looking to become the best puppy parent for your Dachshund, there are some important steps you should take. To start, it is important to provide adequate exercise that is suited to their size and energy needs. Communicating with your pup through teaching basic obedience commands and providing interactive playtime will help you create a strong bond with your pup and lay the foundation for a lifelong relationship. Additionally, obtaining routine veterinary check-ups and following their specific diet guidelines will help ensure a healthy and balanced lifestyle for your pup. Lastly, provide ample affection and patience while setting clear boundaries and limits.
Dachshunds vary significantly in size depending on the variety. Standard Dachshunds are usually between 8 and 9 inches tall at the shoulder and weigh between 16 and 32 pounds. Miniature Dachshunds typically are 5 to 6 inches tall and weigh 11 pounds or less. Then there are the "tweenies" which are between miniature and standard in size. These tend to be around 7 to 8 inches tall and around 11 to 16 pounds. Although small in size, Dachshunds are formidable, fearless and energetic!
Dachshunds, also known as 'wiener dogs', need an appropriate amount of physical activity in order to stay happy and healthy. They do best when their exercise needs are met on a daily basis. A typical adult Dachshund should receive approximately 30 minutes of exercise per day, split into two to three exercise intervals. Spending quality time walking or playing in a securely fenced yard is a great way to get your Dachshund some exercise. Smaller bouts of interactive play may also be beneficial and help keep your Dachshund entertained.
Dachshunds can make excellent family companions; however, how they respond to children largely depends on their upbringing. Many Dachshunds get along very well with children, provided they have been appropriately socialized and taught how to behave appropriately. It's also important to ensure the kids know how to handle the pup with respect and gentleness. Regular playtime and interaction between the kids and the pup also helps to strengthen the bond and trust that is built through regular interaction.
Yes, Dachshunds are considered to be smart dogs! Dachshunds are part of the hound family and have a strong instinct for hunting and tracking, making them very clever and trainable. These dogs respond well to positive reinforcement and enjoy pleasing their owners. They quickly learn rules and tricks, making them great candidates for agility and obedience training.
