Questions & Answers
Dachshunds are a pup for all seasons! They come in a variety of coat colors and sizes, from short-haired to long-haired, wire-haired and miniature. They are great family dogs as they get along well with kids and other pets. Did you know that depending on the coat type, their average lifespan can range between 12 to 15 years? Even more interesting: In the 16th century, the breed was used to hunt badgers in Europe. However, these days, they mainly bark warnings to protect their families. Also, they are quite notorious Houdinis.
Managing allergies with Dachshunds takes diligence and forethought. Start by brushing and bathing your Dachshund regularly to reduce the amount of dander and fur being shed and spread throughout your home. Additionally, have hard-surface floors and furniture and launder your bedding and upholstery frequently.
Dachshunds are generally active and energetic, so they require a high-quality diet made specifically for their breed size and activity level. It is important to feed them nutrient-dense, nutritionally balanced meals that meet their specific energy needs. Look for a diet that is formulated to promote good health and well-being, with ingredients such as realmeat, fruit, vegetables, essential vitamins, antioxidants, and omega-3 fatty acids for healthy skin and coat. Avoid too many treats and snacks as these can lead to nutrient deficiencies and weight gain.
Dachshunds do have certain special requirements. Most importantly, they require a great deal of attention and exercise on a regular basis, as their playful and lively disposition naturally draws them towards activities that engage and stimulate them. As such, it is important to provide them with outdoor joys such as long walks and runs, trips to the dog park, or other engaging activities. They also need to be groomed regularly, typically every 2 weeks, as their fur can easily tangle and cause skin problems.
Dachshunds come in two sizes, standard and miniature. Standard size Dachshunds will usually weigh between 16 and 32 pounds, with heights up to 9 inches at the shoulder. On the other hand, miniature Dachshunds are typically around 11 pounds and have a height of 5 to 6 inches at the shoulder. Furthermore, a Dachshund's size is also dependent on its breed and the environment it is raised in.
Dachshunds are energetic, small-sized dogs and need regular exercise to stay healthy and fit. The amount of exercise a Dachshund needs depends on age, breed, and overall health. Generally, Dachshunds require 30–60 minutes of exercise per day, with up to three walks of 10–15 minutes each. If you would like to increase the amount of exercise, you can take them for longer walks, hike, or use a doggie treadmill.
Generally speaking, Dachshunds can be a great addition to a household with other pets, as long as the proper introductions and interactions are properly managed. They tend to get along with other pets such as cats, rabbits, and small rodents, although this is not a guarantee. It is important to be aware that Dachshunds can be very dominant and territorial when used to being the only pet, so socializing them with other animals can be key to successful cohabitation. They may also be prone to chasing smaller animals, as their prey-drive will likely kick in.
The amount of time required to train a Dachshund can vary and it really depends on the individual dog's level of understanding and motivation. Overall, most trainers recommend dedicating at least 15 minutes every day to training, though this may need to be increased to up to an hour for some dogs. It's important to provide consistent, positive reinforcement to ensure that the training is effective. Additionally, you should aim to break up the sessions into shorter bursts to keep the pup interested and engaged with the activities.
