Questions & Answers
Dachshunds are a unique, ancient breed of dog originally used as a hunter for badgers and other small animals. They are members of the lurcher breed, but they are easily identified with their elongated body and short legs. Dachshunds come in a variety of colors and coat patterns, and sizes can range from miniature to standard. They have a playful and independent personality, making them great family pets. Their vibrant personalities come from their history as hunters who were bred to never tire and to follow prey for long periods of time.
Dachshunds are generally considered as low allergies or “hypoallergenic”, however it depends on each individual person's sensitivity to pet allergens. Due to their short dense fur, Dachshunds generally produce less dander than some other dog breeds, and may be more suitable for someone with mild allergies. This is not a guarantee; the only way to know for sure is to spend time around the type of dog you are considering and see if your allergies are triggered.
Dachshunds should be fed a nutritionally balanced, age-appropriate high-quality diet that is formulated for small breeds. They should also receive plenty of fresh clean water to drink. Common food items that you could feed a Dachshund include a combination of wet and dry kibble, canned food, fresh vegetables, and small portions of lean meat or fish. It's important to note that Dachshunds should not eat human snacks like chocolate, grapes, raisins, and artificial sweeteners, which can be poisonous or dangerous for them.
Becoming the best puppy parent for your Dachshund starts with educating yourself on the breed and what to expect. You should learn standard behaviors, common diseases, and most importantly, optimal care. This includes the right diet, exercise, and regular veterinarian check-ups. Additionally, obtain or create a safe, enriching environment so your pup can grow and develop happily. Positive reinforcement will help your pup develop into a well-mannered pet.
Dachshunds come in two sizes: standard and miniature. The standard size Dachshunds can weigh up to 32 pounds, and the miniature size is 11 pounds or less. Shorter legged Dachshunds are referred to as "Tweenies" and are typically a few inches shorter than the standard-sized dog. Dachshunds of the larger variety can be 16 to 32 pounds with a height of 8 to 9 inches, while the smaller variety is 11 pounds or less and stands at 5 to 6 inches.
Dachshunds are quite lively and active dogs, so they need plenty of healthy exercise in order to stay happy and well-behaved. Activity should be a daily part of their routine, ideally at least an hour of physical exercise split into two sessions: one in the morning, and one in the evening. This could include a walk, a game of fetch, or visiting a safe, off-leash area to chase after a ball. Additionally, mental stimulation and playtime should also be part of their daily routine in order to keep them challenged mentally and emotionally.
Dachshunds are known to be good family dogs and can often get along well with children. They usually have a cheerful attitude and, in general, tend to be very affectionate with their family, including children. As with any dog, though, it is important to train your dachshund properly and teach your kids to interact properly with dogs to ensure a happy home environment. Being a smaller breed, it is important to keep in mind that your dachshund may not be able to handle rough play and there needs to be a clear understanding of boundaries.
Training a Dachshund can be an easy or difficult process, depending on how dedicated an owner is to the process. When beginning to train a Dachshund, owners should use positive reinforcement methods such as treats, verbal praise, and playtime. Incorporating consistent routines, such as daily walks and ample playtime, can also be beneficial. Taking the time to introduce the pup to other people and pets, socializing them, is also important in encouraging the Dachshund to be well-behaved in the future.
