Questions & Answers
Dachshunds are a smart breed of dog, known for their fun-loving and loyal character, eagerness to please, and strong loyalty to their owners. They are often small in size and are low to the ground due to their short legs, but are surprisingly strong and energetic. Dachshunds are usually quite easy to groom, as their coats are short and smooth and only need to be brushed or combed weekly.
While it is possible for people to be allergic to any type of animal, it is not always true that all dachshunds will cause you to have allergies. The amount of allergy-causing proteins in a dachshund's coat and dander (dead skin flakes) is typically less than some other breeds and often dander production will be reduced with regular grooming of the pet, making them a good choice for people who suffer from allergies.
Dachshunds can enjoy a variety of foods including dry kibble, wet food, and fresh food. A good quality kibble should contain plenty of protein, fiber, fat, carbohydrates, vitamins and minerals. Dachshunds, just like other dogs, should not be given human junk food such as potato chips or chocolate. While wet food and fresh food, like lean meats and cooked vegetables can provide good nutrition, its important to remember that Dachshunds can quickly become overweight so owners should be careful with portion sizes and treats.
Before getting a Dachshund, it is essential to have the necessary supplies such as a collar, leash, and ID tag. You will also need to purchase food and water dishes, clean bedding, a brush, and toys. Additionally, you should have puppy pads, a crate, and an appointable vet in mind. Grooming will also be part of the routine for your new pet, so investing in a good brush and coat conditioner is highly recommended.
Dachshunds are a unique breed that are often considered to be small-medium in size, regardless of comparison to other breeds. Despite their small stature, they still need plenty of daily exercise and should always have a secure, fenced area to run if possible. The truth is, Dachshunds are not typically classified in the same size group as “big” dogs, however, what decides an individual dog’s size and frame is largely based on the heritage of their line. Therefore, some may be larger than others, and should be assessed as individuals.
The amount of exercise that your Dachshund needs varies with age and health condition. Generally speaking, it is a good idea to walk your Dachshund for at least 15 minutes per day, gradually increasing to 30 minutes or more as they grow and gain more energy. If possible, you should try to break these exercise sessions up into 2 or 3 walks taken over the course of the day. This is beneficial for both physical and mental health.
Generally speaking, Dachshunds do well around children when they are socialized and trained from an early age. It is important for owners to teach their Dachshunds how to behave with kids. This includes basic obedience commands such as sit and stay, as well as teaching them how to properly interact with people instead of being overly zealous. With the proper training, Dachshunds can learn to get along with children well when given the right direction.
The answer to 'How many minutes per day do I need to train Dachshunds?' depends on the age and temperament of your Dachshund. For young puppies, short, frequent sessions are recommended, with 10-15 minutes of training a day being a good starting point. For older Dachshunds, around 20-30 minutes divided into two or three sessions are suggested for best results. If you are teaching tricks or more involved commands, you may need to increase the training time by a few minutes per day.
