Questions & Answers
A Dachshund is a long-bodied, short-legged breed of dog–sometimes called a "weenie dog"–belonging to the hound family. Bred to hunt and track, the Dachshund is an alert, clever, and courageous companion that comes in two varieties, the standard and miniature, as well as three coat types: longhaired, wirehaired, and smooth.
Dachshunds may cause an allergic reaction in some individuals; however, it shouldn't be assumed that they will. The best way to determine if a Dachshund will cause you to have allergies is to spend time with one. If the individual experiences sneezing or an itchy nose, coughing, or red, watery eyes, these could be signs of an allergy. It is recommended that before bringing a Dachshund into the home, individuals with allergies be tested to identify any possible triggers.
Yes, Dachshunds have specific dietary needs that owners should consider when purchasing pet food. Generally speaking, a balanced diet is essential for any dog breed, however those with a history of back problems such as Dachshunds may require food specifically designed to reduce the risk. Low fat, high fiber food is often recommended to keep their weight down, which can help reduce strain on the spine. Additionally, and due to their size, Dachshunds benefit from smaller kibble size to ensure that they don't take on oversized bites.
To become the best puppy parent for your Dachshund, you should provide them with all of their basic needs, such as proper nutrition, safe environment, exercise, and mental stimulation. You should also create a structured routine that includes daily walks, potty breaks, training sessions, and playtime. Develop a positive relationship with your puppy by providing lots of love and affection, and rewarding them for desirable behaviors.
Dachshunds come in two sizes, the standard and the miniature. The standard size Dachshund weighs approximately 16-32 pounds and typically stands 8-9 inches at the shoulder. The miniature size Dachshund weighs 11 pounds or less and stands 5-6 inches at the shoulder. Both sizes of Dachshund have long bodies and short legs, which gives them the classic 'sausage canine' look.
Dachshunds need regular exercise, but their needs vary depending on age and type. Typically, a young Dachshund should have at least 45 minutes of exercise, split into two or three daily sessions. An adult varies, with a need for around 1-2 hours of exercise, again split into a couple of daily walks. These games or walks can be done in the yard or taken on-leash, but unrestrained play and off-leash exercise should only be done in safe areas. Activities like scent work, interactive toys, and food puzzles are also recommended.
Dachshunds can get along with other pets very well, depending on the individual dog's temperament. Generally, these dogs are smart, spirited, and love to be around people and other creatures. Therefore, it is likely that they could adjust to different animals in the home. However, like any other pet, they will need to be properly socialized and introduced to other animals in the home in order to get the best relationship possible. With proper care, training, and the right environment, Dachshunds can make wonderful companions to other pets.
Training a Dachshund can be an enjoyable experience for any dog owner. With the correct understanding and commitment to teaching them good habits, training a Dachshund does not have to be difficult. The key to successful training is patience and consistency. Create a structured environment and provide positive reinforcement to your dog when they make an effort. Be aware that since Dachshunds are an intelligent breed, they enjoy a challenge, so repetition can become easily boring for them. By incorporating variations in their training and playing games throughout, you can keep them engaged while also reinforcing the desired behaviors.
