Questions & Answers
Dachshunds, commonly known as sausage dogs, are classified as hounds in the AKC's (American Kennel Club) Hound Group. These canine companions were originally bred in Germany several centuries ago and were designed to go beneath the ground to hunt and flush out small game, like badgers and rabbits. Dachshunds are medium-sized dogs with short legs, long bodies and keen senses of smell, whose alertness and bravery makes them perfect as watchdogs.
While Dachshunds may be considered a low-shedding breed, they are not hypoallergenic. This means that they may still produce a reaction in people who are sensitive to pet allergens. It's important to note that, since the shedding of regular dead hairs from a canine's coat often contains the allergens, short-haired Dachshunds have the potential to produce fewer allergy-causing particles in comparison to a longer-haired breed.
Dachshunds typically eat a balanced diet, composed of real meats, poultry, fish, and whole grains, that's been formulated just for their breed. Different stages of the dog's life may require different types of nutrition, with puppies requiring more protein and senior dogs needing more fiber. If you're giving your dog commercial kibble make sure to provide it in a high-quality brand that meets their nutritional needs. Dachshunds may also enjoy fresh foods and sometimes vegetables like apples, carrots, and green beans.
Before bringing a Dachshund into your home, there are a few important preparations to make. First, research the breed to understand general characteristics, health risks, behavior, diet, and training needs. Next, create a safe and comfortable environment for your Dachshund by puppy-proofing your home, securing plants, and creating an exercise area. Then, locate a trusted veterinarian that can provide you with guidance throughout your pup's life. Finally, contact dog trainers or puppy classes if needed to help you with the transition into a new home.
The size of your Dachshund puppy will depend on their parent’s size and line. While standard Dachshunds usually will grow to be 8-9 inches tall and weigh between 16-32 pounds, the miniature Dachshunds usually only reach 5-6 inches in height and weigh between 8-11 pounds. That being said, there isn’t a surefire way of predicting the exact size of your puppy, as there are a variety of other factors that can impact their size. Therefore, the best advice is to consult a veterinarian for more information.
Dachshunds are undoubtedly active dogs. They love to play and roam around their territories, especially when given the opportunity. Dachshunds are also known for their intelligent and obedient nature, so if properly trained, they can learn to fit into your active lifestyle. Despite their small size, they make excellent running and hiking partners, and enjoy running in open fields. They also make excellent playmates and can easily keep up with more active breeds of similar size. Dachshunds require daily walks and plenty of mental stimulation to remain healthy and content.
Dachshunds can be great companions for children, and oftentimes have a fondness for them. Generally speaking, they tend to do well in a household with kids, as long as the children are taught to be gentle and respectful towards the dog. Dachshunds are a loyal breed who may become attached to one family member in particular but can also be affectionate and loving companions to the whole family, including kids, if properly trained and socialized. With the right supervision, a Dachshund and a child can form a beautiful bond.
The amount of time needed to train a Dachshund each day varies depending on the individual pup and their personality, age and level of knowledge. Generally, experts recommend allotting around 15 minutes a day for at least four days out of the week to help with your pup's training and socialization. During a dedicated training session, create and practice specific scenarios such as responding to commands, providing mental stimulation, and exercising. If your pup is very young or seems to need more time, increase the training to 20-30 minutes per day.
