Questions & Answers
A Dachshund is a small, long-bodied breed of dog that typically weighs between 16 and 32 pounds. With an energetic character and a brave nature, they are often referred to as a "sausage dog" because of their long, slender builds. The breed is believed to trace back to the 15th century and to have been initially bred in Germany as a scent-hound. Dachshunds come in two distinct sizes: standard size, and miniature size.
Dachshunds are not hypoallergenic. They have a heavy double coat of fur, which can produce dander and other allergens. For people who suffer from allergies, it is important to note that Dachshunds require regular brushing, bathing, and grooming to keep their fur in good condition which could release allergens into the air. If someone with allergies enjoys the company of a Dachshund, consider investing in an air cleaner that has a HEPA filter to help remove allergens.
Dachshunds generally enjoy a variety of foods and treats, but their diet should always include quality proteins, like meat, poultry, fish, and dairy; grains or starchy carbohydrates; and a variety of fresh fruits and vegetables. To ensure they remain healthy, their meals should be balanced, with recommended daily servings of nutritious foods such as lean meats, eggs, yogurt, cheddar cheese, oatmeal, broccoli, and carrots. If you are looking for a healthy, balanced diet for your Dachshund, speak to your veterinarian to determine the best diet for your pet.
Yes, Dachshunds have their own set of special requirements that must be taken into consideration when caring for them. Unlike some other breeds, their wide bodies and short legs often cause them to be prone to back issues and other skeletal problems, so the breed must be given extra consideration. An attention must be paid to avoid too strenuous movement and to ensure that stairs and furniture have ramps or steps that are appropriate for their size. Additionally, grooming for a Dachshund needs to be special as they need frequent baths as well as their nails be kept at the proper length.
Dachshunds come in two sizes: standard and miniature. Standard Dachshunds generally fall into the 30-32 cm range at the shoulder and usually weigh around 9-15 kg. Miniature Dachshunds are usually smaller, standing around 25-27 cm at the shoulder and weighing 5-8 kg. In spite of their size, standard Dachshunds and miniature Dachshunds are the same breed. Whichever size you choose, your Dachshund will come with the same great personality!
The amount of exercise your Dachshund needs typically depends on its age, size, and activity level. An adult Dachshund should typically get about two 45-minute walks per day to help ensure it is getting the exercise needed to stay healthy. In order to keep it healthy and happy, it is recommended that you add in other activities like running, hide and seek, and playing fetch during the walks. If your Dachshund is elderly or has a health issue, check with your veterinarians to make sure a shorter walk time is appropriate for them.
Dachshunds generally get along well with kids, provided they are introduced and socialized in a safe and controlled environment. Dachshunds tend to be highly affectionate and bond quickly with eager children, however, it is important to teach children how to interact with their pet correctly to ensure a long-lasting friendship. Additionally, it is important to remember that all dogs need exercise, regardless of type, and young kids need supervision when playing with the pet.
It depends on the individual Dachshund and at what age you start training them. Generally, the younger you start training a Dachshund, the less time you will need to spend per day. For a young Dachshund, as few as 10 minutes a day is a good starting point to learn basic commands and good behaviors. For an older one, you may need to spend 20 to 30 minutes per day, depending on their level of obedience training and how much work they need to do in order to remain on top of their skills.
