Questions & Answers
Dachshunds are undeniably unique and interesting for a variety of reasons! Firstly, their stature sets them apart; with the elongated body and stumpy legs, Dachshunds have an unmistakable look that are adored by many. Secondly, their personalities are unique and distinct from other breeds. They are loyal and loving and tend to exhibit an independent streak; these friendly and inquisitive pups love to get into mischief! Lastly, Dachshunds are surprisingly resilient.
Dachshunds are specifically not considered to be a hypoallergenic breed. While the breed is known for having low shedding coats, the truth is that they still shed and could potentially cause allergies in sensitive individuals or those with allergies. Most people who are allergic to dogs will still find that the Dachshund may cause an allergic reaction due to its coats, saliva, and dander. People considering getting a Dachshund should research possible symptoms to be aware of if they have allergies to dogs in the past.
Yes, Dachshunds have special dietary needs due to their short stature, elongated back, and large appetite. Their ideal diet should include a high-protein, high-fiber food that is free from artificial additives, preservatives, and fillers. A Dachshund's diet should be tailored to their age, activity level, and health. For example, puppies need more calories to sustain their growth, while older dogs should consume fewer calories to maintain a healthy weight.
Preparing your home for a new Dachshund is an important task to ensure a smooth transition for the pup. First, create a safe space to contain your pup when you can't be around. You should also have a bed that your pup can use as their own. Invest in durable toys – Dachshunds love to chew! Make sure they have enough space to run and explore, and that the area is puppy-proofed to keep them safe. Monitor their food and water intake and create an eating schedule. Check that any outside space is secured and safe.
Yes, Dachshunds are considered small dogs. These breed is exactly that small dogs. The true definition of a small dog is one that weighs up to about 22lbs, and a Dachshund falls within this category. Most adult Dachshunds typically weigh between 16 and 32lbs, depending on the type. Due to their small stature, they are often the breed of choice for households with space restrictions. Dachshunds may be small in size, but they are certainly big in personality.
Yes, you can take your Dachshund running! Generally speaking, small to medium breeds of dogs, such as Dachshunds, are active enough to match jogging or leisurely running paces. However, consider your dog's overall health and age. For instance, if your Dachshund has a few age-related issues, then running might be too much for their body. Pay attention to warning signs that your pup is overexerting themselves, such as excessive panting, slowing down, and restlessness. If you have any concerns, consult your veterinarian.
Dachshunds can be a great choice for first-time owners. They are affectionate and loyal, making them great companions. These active dogs benefit from regular exercise in order to stay fit and healthy, but they don't need intense activities throughout the day, so they can fit into a first-time owner's life with ease. Additionally, Dachshunds range from small to medium-sized, so they typically can fit well into smaller living quarters.
The amount of time you should spend training a Dachshund each day will depend on the individual dog and their particular needs. Some Dachshunds may only need a few minutes of training a day while others may need more. We recommend at least 15-20 minutes of dedicated training each day; however, if you include training and behavior reinforcement throughout the day (such as teaching new commands when out on a walk or exhibiting good behavior), then 30-60 minutes should be enough.
