Questions & Answers
A Dachshund is a type of domesticated hound-dog believed to have been developed in Germany. They are known for their long bodies and short legs that give them their signature "hot dog" appearance. Dachshunds come in three distinct coat varieties Smooth-hair, Wire-hair, and Long-hair with many different colors and patterns. Typically, they are adventurous, playful, determined, and courageous.
While Dachshunds do not shed as much as other breeds, they are not considered hypoallergenic. Many people believe that hypoallergenic breeds are those that do not shed, however, the determining factor for a breed's allergenicity is the amount of dander it produces, which is not entirely dependent on coat shedding. The dander that is secreted from dead skin cells is what typically causes allergic reactions rather than the shedding of fur.
When it comes to feeding your Dachshund, it all depends on their age, lifestyle, and size. Puppies should be fed a diet that is specifically designed for their size and age. For adult Dachshunds, it’s important to have a balanced diet that is high in protein and has the right amounts of fat, carbohydrates, vitamins, and minerals—such as frozen raw food diets, cooked homemade meals, kibble, and real-meat treats.
When bringing your new Dachshund home, it's important to prepare beforehand to ensure it can acclimate to its new environment. First, make sure you have all the necessary supplies, such as food and water bowls, a bed, treats, a collar with ID tags, and a leash. Secondly, make sure the area of your home your Dachshund will occupy is secure and hazard-free – this way your pup can safely explore its new environment without getting into trouble. Additionally, be sure to schedule a visit with your vet to discuss nutrition and exercise plans.
Most definitely! Dachshunds are considered small dogs, usually weighing between 16 and 32 pounds and growing up to 9 inches in height. While their long bodies give them a striking silhouette, it also makes them even smaller than many other breeds of their size. On average, they would be classified as a "small breed" when compared to other domesticated canines. Dachshunds are also quite popular because of their amiable temperaments and low maintenance coats.
Absolutely! Exercise is important for any pet, and Dachshunds love to be active. However, due to their short legs, taking a Dachshund for a run won't be a particularly speedy experience so take your time and go at your pup's pace. It's important to ensure your pup is in good health and has a clean bill of health from a vet before going on longer runs. You should also make sure they have a good fitting, comfortable harness. Make sure to bring plenty of water and watch out for hotter pavements that can damage their feet.
Many Dachshunds can get along with other pets given enough time and proper introduction. Dachshunds are usually curious about unfamiliar animals and can adapt well to their presence if trained to do so while they are still puppies. Certain breeds, such as Pugs or Beagles, may be good companions and playmates for Dachshunds. Additionally, they can get along well with cats if socialized with them from an early age.
The amount of time you need to dedicate to training your Dachshund every day will depend on your goals and what behavior you are looking to establish. Generally speaking, most professionals recommend 15-30 minutes of intentional, focused training session per day. To get the most out of your training sessions, it's important to separate them into shorter sessions throughout the day and to end on a positive note. It's also helpful to give your Dachshund regular opportunities to practice what you have learned during the day, as repetition is key to reinforcing successful behaviors.
