Questions & Answers
Dachshunds are a unique breed of hound that originated in Germany, and have become beloved family pets all over the world. They are known for their elongated bodies and short legs, and can make for an inquisitive, playful companion. Here are some fun facts about Dachshunds: they were originally bred for badger hunting, and the word 'Dachshund' in German literally translates to 'badger dog.' Their color and coat options range from smooth coats to long-haired coats, wirehaired coats, spotted coats, and even brindle coats.
It really depends on your individual circumstances. Generally speaking, Dachshunds do not cause more allergies than other breeds of dogs. Your individual sensitivity will play an important factor in determining if contact with a Dachshund will cause allergic reactions. It's best to visit a doctor to have an allergy test to help identify which allergen triggers cause your allergies. It's also important to remember that allergies are not caused exclusively by an animal's fur or dander, but also saliva and sweat of the animal.
Dachshunds require a unique diet of food appropriate to their size and energy levels. Wet and dry food options are both available and should be based on quality ingredients like organic poultry, fish, whole grains and vegetables. The food should be easily digestible and contain the right mix of vitamins, minerals, proteins, fats and carbohydrates. The best food for Dachshunds is one that contains all the necessary nutrients, either from fresh ingredients or those designed specifically for their breed type.
Creating a comfortable environment in your home for your new Dachshund will ease the transition for both you and your pet. To prepare, make sure there is a “safe zone” with a comfortable bed and kennel, and toys to play with. Have them checked by a vet, purchase an appropriate collar and leash, and read up on the breed temperament and training tips. You may also want to consider using baby gates and restricting access to certain parts of your home to better manage all occupants.
Dachshunds, while they may not be as large as some popular large dog breeds, are considered bigger than most small breeds. As such, they're seen as a medium-sized dog breed, as they typically measure between 8-9 inches tall and weigh 16-32 pounds. While Dachshunds may not be as big as a Great Dane or a Mastiff, they are still a far cry from tiny breeds like the Chihuahua or Poodle.
Dachshunds can be very active dogs, depending on their individual characteristics and lifestyle. When given adequate exercise, it is not uncommon to see these dogs wanting to play and explore. Although they do not require as much exercise as other breeds, Dachshunds need regular physical and mental stimulation in order to stay healthy and happy. Dachshunds are the perfect dogs for those who enjoy walks outdoors, as they love sniffing and exploring their surroundings. They often enjoy playing with toys and chasing after a ball.
Dachshunds can make great family companions, especially around young children, as long as socialization and training begin from a young age. These long-bodied, short-legged dogs are generally people-oriented and have a friendly nature which, combined with an even temperament and devotion to their families, make them great playmates for kids.
The amount of minutes you need to train a Dachshund per day depends on several factors, such as your Dachshund's age, activity level, and prior training experience. Generally speaking, it's best to start with 20-30 minutes of structured training and activities each day and then increase the time as your dog's skills develop. While 20-30 minutes is a good baseline, some Dachshunds may need more time depending on their individual needs.
