Questions & Answers
Dachshunds are loyal, lovable and inquisitive lap dogs descended from long-bodied, short-legged hunting dogs bred to trail and locate badgers and other small animals. They are highly intelligent and eager to please, but also notoriously independent and will challenge most forms of authority when they feel threatened. Dachshunds generally live 10 to 15 years, and most should be fed twice a day in small portions. They will need daily walks; an hour a day of exercise is a good goal.
Managing allergies with Dachshunds is possible, though it will likely require diligence on the part of the pet owner. Vacuuming regularly and wiping the Dachshund down with a damp cloth or tissue can help to reduce allergens such as dander, pet saliva and urine that are known to trigger allergies in humans. Regularly washing bedding, rugs, and furniture that the Dachshund commonly comes into contact with can also help to reduce allergens in the home.
Dachshunds, because of their small size and long backs, need special nutrients and food for optimal health. A good option is a high-quality, age-specific dog food specifically designed for small breed dogs. It should include natural ingredients and be rich in fiber, protein, and healthy fats while avoiding artificial colors, flavors, and preservatives. Look for formulas that are easily digestible and fortified with key vitamins and minerals such as omega-3 fatty acids, glucosamine, and antioxidants. Wet or canned dog food can be a great choice as well as it provides extra moisture.
Before bringing a Dachshund into your life, it's important to make sure you have all the essential items necessary for its care. An appropriately sized crate and bed with a warm blanket or pillow, puppy-safe toys, a collar with an ID tag, a leash, food and water bowls, puppy treats, a brush for grooming, nail trimmers, a soft toothbrush and toothpaste, and a pet waste disposal system are all must-haves.
That can be difficult to determine, as the eventual size of your Dachshund puppy can depend on a variety of factors such as breeding, nutrition, and care during his/her growth. Generally speaking, adult Dachshunds can range from around five to nine pounds and they typically grow to a length around nine to eleven inches. However, without knowing all of the background details of your individual pup, it can sometimes be hard to give a definitive answer about his/her eventual size.
The amount of minutes you should walk your Dachshund every day can vary depending on its age and overall health. Generally, for Dachshunds that are between three months and one year old, it is recommended to allow 20 minutes of walking per session, with at least two sessions per day. For dogs that are over one year old, about 30 minutes of walking time per session with at least two daily sessions is advised. Since these dogs are quite active, the amount of exercise should be tailored to their energy levels.
Generally speaking, Dachshunds do get along with other pets with proper introduction and socialization. It is recommended that you introduce them slowly, one at a time, so they can become accustomed to each other in a calming environment. If you provide a safe place for your Dachshund to retreat to when needed, as well as plenty of exercise, stimulation, and playtime, they can learn to live in harmony with other animals. It is also a good idea to observe your Dachshund's behavior for any signs of caution and respect their wishes if they need some space.
Dachshunds are generally considered to be intelligent, independent-minded dogs. They often display signs of strategic problem-solving and persistence in order to achieve goals, such as open gates or doors. They can be trained to learn commands and obedience as well as tasks like retrieving, hunting, and herding. To that end, Dachshunds can be particularly tenacious and energetic, not to mention loyal. Not only that, but they can also be quite affectionate, making them beloved household companions.
