Questions & Answers
Dachshunds are truly one of a kind. With their incredibly unique physical features – long body, short legs, folded ears – and equally unique personalities, they are as interesting as any other canine breed. They are energetic and brave, often showing a willingness to take on tasks and challenges larger breeds may be uncomfortable with. Dachshunds often display a curiosity and enthusiasm for a variety of activities, ranging from running and jumping, to being with people and socializing. Their loyalty and companionship are something to be admired, as they tend to be very affectionate and intelligent.
Dachshunds are considered a low-allergen breed of dog, but unfortunately, are not hypoallergenic. While they may produce fewer allergens than other breeds, they are still capable of causing an allergic reaction in sensitive individuals. Depending on the individual's level of sensitivity, even low-allergen breeds may trigger an allergic reaction. To reduce the likelihood of an allergic reaction, it is important to brush your Dachshunds on a regular basis. This will help to reduce the allergens that are present on the dog’s fur.
Dachshunds can benefit from a highly digestible diet that caters to their specific needs. Ideal dog food for Dachshunds should be low in fat and high in protein to accommodate their active lifestyle. The food should also have specific formulations for small dog breeds in regards to their size and dietary needs. Look for high-quality brands that offer nutritious meals that are specifically designed for Dachshunds. Many experts recommend grain-free dog foods or grain-inclusive foods that use quality meat-based proteins as the foundation.
Becoming the best puppy parent for your Dachshund starts with research. Learning about common characteristics of Dachshunds, regular checkups with your vet, and nutrition needs is essential. Make sure your home is safe as possible, enforcing a routine with structure. Training and socialization early on can help your pup learn acceptable behaviors. Exercise, playing, and exploring supervised walks together are a great way to bond with your pup while ensuring daily physical and mental stimulation. Above all else, be patient and consistent with your pup.
Dachshunds come in two main sizes standard and miniature. The standard size typically weighs between 16 and 32 pounds and stands 8 to 9 inches tall at the withers, which is measured from the highest point of the shoulder blades to the ground. Miniature dachshunds are shorter in height they are usually no taller than 5 to 6 inches and tend to weigh from 8 to 11 pounds. Both sizes of Dachshunds come in a variety of coat types, from long-haired to shorthaired to wire-haired.
It is recommended that your Dachshund gets around 30 minutes of exercise per day broken up into multiple walks. The exact amount of time needed will depend on the age and energy levels of your pup. Some days may require longer walks and some may require shorter or none at all. That being said, you should strive for 30 minutes a day but this is just a guideline. No matter the length of your walks, always bring plenty of water and make sure your pup has plenty of breaks to rest and explore the environment.
Dachshunds can make great companions for families with kids, especially if they are trained and socialized from a young age. While dachshunds are not typically the most patient dogs with kids, when properly trained they can become gentle and loving pets. If you are considering adopting a dachshund, it is a good idea to research responsible puppy breeders who have socialized their puppies before adoption, as well as tips for training and ensuring your dog is comfortable around children.
While the intelligence of individual dogs can vary, Dachshunds are generally considered smart dogs. They are a people-oriented breed that is quick to learn new things and eager to please. They pick up on instructions and commands quickly, and have been known to be fairly intelligent problem solvers. Studies have shown that when trained properly, Dachshunds have the ability to understand the same amount of commands as other smaller breeds. Of course, like all breeds, consistency and patience are key to training success.
