Questions & Answers
A Dachshund is a small breed of dog originating from Germany. Their short legs and elongated bodies give them their unique appearance, often referred to as a "sausage dog". Dachshunds are loyal and loving companions that are known for their enthusiastic personalities. They come in two sizes, standard and miniature, and several coat types including smooth, longhaired and wirehaired. They love spending time with their owners and require daily walks and lots of mental stimulation. Dachshunds make terrific family pets, and can be a great fit for households with older children.
It's impossible to definitively answer whether or not you will have an allergic reaction to Dachshunds without knowing your individual tolerance to pet dander. While some people may be more sensitive to Dachshunds than others, the only way to know for sure if you are allergic is to spend time around them and observe. If you find yourself feeling uncomfortable, short of breath, or experiencing any other signs of an allergic reaction, then, unfortunately, it is best to avoid owning a Dachshund.
Dachshunds do have special dietary needs in comparison with other breeds of dog. It is important to choose a diet that is appropriate for the size and activity level of your dachshund, as their stomachs are sensitive and can get upset. An appropriate diet should be high in protein and contain the necessary omega-3 fatty acids and antioxidants, which help support healthy skin, coat, and nerve function. High-fat diets should be avoided as this can lead to obesity, a common issue among Dachshunds.
Becoming the best puppy parent for your Dachshund takes patience, research, and dedication. Learning about the breed's needs for exercise, socialization, diet, and temperament can help you create a plan for transitioning your pup into the home. Exercise is important for your pup's development, whether it's outdoor playtime or activities that mentally stimulate him through play and puzzle toys. Socializing your pup from a young age will help set him up for success when he encounters other people and animals.
Dachshunds are generally considered to be small dogs due to their physique. They are a type of Hound and historically were bred to hunt underground: badgers, foxes and other burrowing animals. On average, a Dachshund will be between 8 to 11 inches tall and weigh between 16 to 32 pounds, making them a small to medium sized breed. Their size gives them a great fit for apartment living as they are able to navigate small spaces with ease. Furthermore, they have a short and dense coat that is easy to maintain.
Exercising with your dog is a great way to bond and ensure their overall health, and Dachshunds are no exception. However, the breed is predisposed to back issues due to the structure of their spinal column. Therefore, it is important to be mindful of how much physical stress you place on them. Running with your pup can overexert their legs and cause strain on their spine if not done in moderation. Short, slow-paced walks are the best way to keep your Dachshund healthy and allow them to exercise safely.
Dachshunds are certainly capable of getting along with kids, although it is important for them to be properly socialized, receive adequate training and have guidance from parents to ensure that the atmosphere between them is harmonious. With patience and consistency, Dachshunds can make terrific companions for children as their loyal, playful and energetic nature can be incredibly endearing. Due to their small size, they are more prone to injuries and be a bit more sensitive, so it’s important to monitor children’s interactions and activities with them.
It really depends on the individual dog and its needs. Generally speaking, start with 10-minute sessions twice a day and gradually increase as the dog becomes more comfortable with the training. Dachshunds are hardworking and obedient dogs that respond positively to training; however, depending on the age and energy level of the dog, longer training times may be necessary. A good rule of thumb is to aim for a minimum of 30 minutes per day (in multiple sessions) for puppies and 45-60 minutes for adult dogs.
