Questions & Answers
Dachshunds are in the Hound Group of the American Kennel Club’s (AKC) Classification of Dogs. Many people also refer to this group as the “sight hounds,” as its primary purpose is to hunt by sight. The AKC lists additional breeds within the Hound Group such as beagles, greyhounds, and foxhounds. Dachshunds are recognized for their elongated body shape and short legs, which was a design that gave them the ideal dimensions to hunt badgers.
Although the possibility of developing an allergy to any breed of dog exists, dachshunds are not more likely than other breeds to cause a person to have allergies. Like any breed, the individual traits of a specific dachshund can influence the severity of any allergies experienced. Common allergy symptoms can be triggered by a dachshund's dander, hair or saliva, so if you or a family member suffer from allergies, it is recommended to limit contact and watch for any allergic reaction to the animal.
Dachshunds are small, active dogs that should be given a nutrient-rich kibble designed specifically for their size. A diet high in proteins helps promote healthy muscle and skin development, while grains and carbohydrates provide the energy they need to stay active. Supplementing with fresh fruits and vegetables such as apples, carrots, beans, and peas is a great way to add additional vitamins, minerals, and fiber. To ensure balanced nutrition, check the ingredients and nutrition profile of the specific kibble you are serving and adjust the type and amount as needed to meet your dog's individual needs.
Yes, Dachshunds do have special requirements that should be considered when deciding whether to bring one of these lovable canines into your home. Most importantly, they need plenty of exercise to remain fit both physically and mentally. If not sufficiently walked and given the opportunity to run, they can become quite destructive or even aggressive. Ideally, they would receive an hour or two of exercise a day. Additionally, Dachshunds tend to be quite vocal and active indoors, making them less-than-ideal for apartment living.
Dachshunds come in two sizes: standard and miniature. A standard Dachshund typically weighs over 16 lbs., while a miniature Dachshund generally weighs between 8 and 11 lbs. It is important to know the size of your pup when considering food, treats, toys, and clothing, as items measured for regular-sized dogs may not fit properly for a miniature Dachshund. Certain activities like going up and down stairs or jumping on and off furniture may be more of a challenge for standard-sized dogs due to their larger size.
Taking your Dachshund running can be a great way to get some exercise and fresh air, but there are some things to consider before heading out. Most Dachshunds have relatively short legs so you should take it slow and allow for frequent breaks. Pay close attention to the temperature, and if it's hot outside you should limit the amount of time they are running. In cool weather, you can add a few minutes to their running time. Additionally, look out for hazards like sticks or other debris, and be sure to avoid any places with potential risk of predators.
Dachshunds can certainly make great family pets! They are highly intelligent and very loyal, and with the right training can learn to get along with other pets, family members, and guests. Additionally, Dachshunds are small, while still able to provide plenty of companionship and protection. Furthermore, their short coats make them easy to groom and keep clean, while their size makes them an ideal cuddle buddy.
Training a Dachshund requires patience and consistency. First, create a schedule for exercising, potty-training, feeding, and socialization. Be sure to reward your Dachshund with compliments, affection, and treats during the process. Before beginning formal obedience training, teach your dog basic commands such as sit, stay, leave it, and come. Keeping these commands simple rather than layered helps the dog comprehend more quickly. Also, make sure the environment in which you train is distraction-free.
