Questions & Answers
Dachshunds are a special breed of dog that belongs to the hound family. They are typically smallto medium-sized dogs with long, sausage-shaped bodies, short legs, and long, drooping ears. They come in a variety of colors, patterns, and coat types. Dachshunds are known for being brave, active, and tenacious and are an excellent watchdog that loves to bark. They are also loyal to their owners and can make good family pets, but may not do well with other animals.
No, Dachshunds are not hypoallergenic. Unfortunately, they shed regularly and quickly and their fur is quite long, making them a difficult breed for those with allergies. They can also produce a significant amount of dander, which is a major allergen for some people. For this reason, if you or someone in your household is allergic to animals, a Dachshund may not be the best option.
Yes, Dachshunds have quite a few unique dietary needs that pet owners should be aware of. Firstly, they should be given smaller meals throughout the day rather than one large meal, as their digestive systems can struggle to process large meals. It is also important for owners to ensure that any and all dietary supplements are specifically designed for small breed dogs. As Dachshunds are prone to back issues, it is important to provide them with healthy food that is high in protein and low in fat, as this will reduce their risk of developing obesity-linked health issues.
Before introducing your new Dachshund into your home you should make sure that the environment is safe and comfortable. Start by puppy-proofing your home. This means making sure that any electrical cords are safely tucked away and windows and doors are properly secured (if they are accessible to your pup). Additionally, it's important to create a designated feeding and sleeping space for your pup so they can settle in quickly and easily. Be sure to provide lots of toys to keep them safely occupied and give them plenty of attention as they adjust to being in the home.
The size of your Dachshund puppy will vary, but they are typically small to medium-sized weighing between 16-32 pounds as an adult. Dachshunds come in three different coat types: smooth, wirehaired, and longhaired. Each coat type has different size variations to accommodate for the hair length. You can expect the smooth coat to be the smallest type of dachshund, while the longhaired coat will be the largest.
Yes, if your Dachshund is in good health and has the physical capabilities for running, you can take them running. However, please keep in mind that due to their size and short legs, they won't be able to go as far or as fast as other dog breeds, so it's best to keep the running to short distances and at a slower pace. Additionally, it's essential to ensure your Dachshund is off leash in a safe, enclosed environment to prevent them from running away.
Absolutely! Dachshunds are excellent companions for families. Not only are they good-natured and loyal, but they are also intelligent and playful. Dachshunds are very adaptable and are able to create strong bonds with each family member, making them a perfect fit for a family. They protect against intruders when it is necessary, but generally only bark a warning. Dachshunds also love to please their people, and need regular exercise and attention.
Training a Dachshund can be an enjoyable process, though not always easy. Dachshunds are known for their intelligence and determination so learning new behaviors requires patience and consistency. It is beneficial to start training early and to maintain a regular routine. Positive reinforcement works best with this breed. Repetition and rewards are your best tools to help your Dachshund learn the desired behaviors. Familiarity and consistency will help your pup develop and master basic commands and be well-behaved in various settings.
