Questions & Answers
A Dachshund is an adorable breed of dog originating from Germany, belonging to the hound family. They are characterized by their long and slender bodies and famously short legs. Dachshunds were originally bred to hunt badgers in their native country and the dogs still retain instinctive hunting traits today. Depending on their coat and size, these dogs can be very low maintenance or require more brushing and grooming. They make loyal and energetic companions, with an unusually independent and brave personality, while still displaying gentle affection.
Dachshunds are not hypoallergenic because of their fur and because they do shed. They tend to have a double coat, and the undercoat is made of softer fur which is where most of the shedding comes from. Although dachshunds do not typically suffer from allergies, their medium-length fur can carry a lot of dust, pollen, and other allergens that can cause sneezing, itching, and other miserable reactions.
Yes, Dachshunds have specific dietary needs. As with all dogs, their dietary needs will vary based on their size, age, activity levels, health status and more. Dachshunds in particular require a well balanced diet, as their bodies are quite active and vulnerable to joint and orthopedic issues. It is recommended to feed them high-quality protein-rich foods with complex carbohydrates to provide adequate energy. In addition, Dachshunds should get plenty of sources of fiber to aid with digestion.
Before getting a Dachshund, it is important to purchase several essentials to ensure a safe environment for your pup and your family. Start by investing in a crate and some safe bedding– this way, your pup has a "safe space" and a comfortable place to sleep. Make sure to pick up a collar, leash, a few toys, and food and water dishes– this will help your pup stay entertained and hydrated at all times.
Dachshunds can come in three sizes: Standard, Miniature, and Kaninchenteckel (or Rabbit). Standard Dachshunds are typically 16-32 lbs and 8-9 inches tall, the Miniature variety is 11 pounds or less and 5-6 inches tall, and the Kaninchenteckel weigh in at 9 lbs or less and are about 4-5 inches tall. Depending on the type of coat, their size may be slightly larger. No matter the size, their personality and intelligence remain the same!
The amount of daily walking needed for a Dachshund will depend on its age, size, and activity level. Generally speaking, a Dachshund should get at least 30 minutes of osteo-stimulating walking each day. To provide a healthy lifestyle, it would be best for Dachshunds to receive an hour of walking each day and a few shorter walks too, if sustainable. That said, if your Dachshund is young and active, it will likely need much longer walks than older dogs.
Dachshunds can be a great choice for first-time owners. They are generally quite friendly and loving, and with proper care and training, they can be a wonderful companion. As a loyal and devoted breed, they are highly trainable and relatively low maintenance. They also don't require as much exercise or space as larger breeds. However, Dachshunds can be vocal and have a stubborn streak when it comes to training, so patience and consistency are key. Additionally, they require lots of attention and can be prone to anxiety if left alone too often.
The amount of time needed for Dachshund training will vary depending on the individual pup and the desired outcome. Generally speaking, it will take anywhere from 5 to 10 minutes a day of focused, positive, and consistent training to begin seeing good results. The more time devoted to training, the better your pup will respond and the quicker you'll be able to achieve the desired results. Additionally, it's important to recognize that Dachshunds are dominant dogs and they require more direction and reinforcement to help them stay on the right track.
