Questions & Answers
Dachshunds, also known as a wiener dog or sausage dog, are a small breed of dog of the hound family, recognizable by their short legs and long bodies. They were originally bred to hunt badgers and other small animals, but they have adapted to modern life and make great companions for people of all ages. They have a lively and curious personality, often having a strong will and being quite stubborn. Dachshunds come in three varieties smooth, long-haired and wire-haired and can be very playful and easy to train.
Dachshunds are not considered to be hypoallergenic. Although their short hair and low-shedding coat may make them seem hypoallergenic, any dog may still produce allergens that can trigger allergic reactions in people sensitive to animal dander. While all breeds of dog can trigger allergies, people vary in their sensitivity to individual breeds. If you are concerned about allergies, it is best to think about your own level of sensitivity to animals and choose the dachshund breed accordingly.
Dachshunds are highly-intelligent and short-haired breed of dog that require a careful consideration of their diet in order to stay healthy. It is important not to feed them foods that could cause them harm, such as grapes, raisins, onions, garlic, chocolate, candy, caffeine, alcohol and anything that is high in sugar. Additionally, feed that is too fatty, salty or sweet should be avoided. Feeding Dachshunds table scraps is also discouraged. It is best to stick to a diet that is tailored to their specific size and activity level.
Preparing for your new Dachshund is an exciting experience! To ensure you are ready to provide a happy and healthy home for your new pup, make sure you do some research to understand the breed's needs. Start by reading up on Dachshunds to understand their grooming, exercise, and dietary requirements. It is important to create a space for your pup in your home prior to them arriving. Buy all the essential supplies such as food and water bowls, bedding, collar and leash, and toys.
Dachshunds come in two different sizes: standard and miniature. The standard size typically weighs between 16 and 32 pounds, and is approximately eight to nine inches tall at the shoulders. The miniature Dachshund generally weighs 11 pounds or less and stands about 5 to 6 inches tall at the shoulders. There are even smaller sizes known as ‘tweeners’ or ‘rabbit’ Dachshunds that are slightly larger than the miniature versions, but still much smaller than the standard size.
Walking your Dachshund is a great way to keep them healthy and keep them from gaining excess weight. Generally, depending on the age and health of your Dachshund, a leisurely walk of around 30 minutes to an hour per day should be sufficient. This means that your Dachshund should receive an adequate amount of exercise and stimulation to help build their muscles, maintain their energy level, and keep them alert. However, it is important to monitor your Dachshund’s activity level during the walk and adjust the duration accordingly.
Dachshunds can get along with other pets depending on their training and personality. Generally speaking, these dogs can be friendly with other animals in the home as long as they are socialized early on. It is important to give them plenty of mental and physical stimulation to avoid boredom and potential behavioral issues. Introducing a new pet to an existing one can be a gradual process and close supervision is recommended. Early training can also help Dachshunds learn impulse control and respect for other animals.
The amount of time you need to dedicate to training a Dachshund each day will vary depending on the individual pet's needs and history, as well as the goals you wish to achieve during training. Generally speaking, a good starting point is to spend around 10-15 minutes a day of focused training and attention on your Dachshund. You may find that can be broken up into two 5-10 minute sessions or one larger session, whichever works best for both you and your pet.
