Questions & Answers
Dachshunds are a unique breed of dog belonging to the hounds group, characterized by their short legs, long, slender bodies, and playful natures. Dachshunds come in a variety of coat types, with the most recognizable being the shorthaired and longhaired varieties, as well as the wirehaired variety.
Dachshunds are not generally considered to be hypoallergenic. This means that if you have allergies, you may be at risk of an allergic reaction to a Dachshund or its fur. However, all breeds of dogs vary in their individual coats and some Dachshunds can be less likely to cause an allergy due to their low-shedding coats. If you are considering a Dachshund and have a history of allergies, it may be best to do a hypoallergenic test before adoption.
Dachshunds are known for their long backs and small legs, and they require a special diet to maintain health and avoid back problems. To pick the best dog food for your Dachshund, look for one that is specifically formulated with their unique physique in mind. Look for food that is nutrient-rich and calorie-dense to fuel their active lifestyle without making them overweight, while providing sufficient vitamins to help keep their bones and joints healthy. It should also include enough omega-3 fatty acids for their coats and eyes.
To adequately prepare your home for your new Dachshund, there are a few steps you should take to ensure a comfortable and safe environment. First, you should ensure that all hazardous objects, such as cleaning supplies, fragile items, and other household chemicals are properly stored. You should also make sure to baby-proof the house, as Dachshunds have a proclivity for seeking and eating small items. Additionally, it is important to create a safe space that is free from distractions, so your Dachshund can rest and relax.
Yes, Dachshunds are classified as small dogs due to their size and weight. Generally, Dachshunds can range in size from 8-9 inches in length, weighing about 16-32 pounds. Though small in stature, the Dachshund is a powerful and robust dog. They boast an average life span of 11-16 years, so they provide many years of loyal companionship. Dachshunds possess an athletic and energetic personality, making them ideal for many types of activities.
The amount of time you should walk your Dachshund each day will depend on their age, health, and fitness level. Generally, younger Dachshunds will require more exercise than older Dachshunds who may benefit more from shorter, slower walks. As a rule of thumb, if your Dachshund is healthy and fit, they should likely receive around 30 minutes of daily exercise. If your Dachshund is older or less active, fifteen minutes of light exercise is likely sufficient.
Yes, Dachshunds usually get along very well with kids as they are known to be loyal and affectionate towards their families. Dachshunds are usually eager to please, and they tend to be very tolerant of children’s sometimes boisterous behavior. It's important to always teach kids to be gentle and patient when around dogs, and to be respectful and supervise interactions, as with any pet.
The amount of time you need to devote to training your Dachshunds on a daily basis depends on the specific goals you are trying to accomplish. If you want to train them for basic obedience, such as teaching them basic commands (sit, stay, come, etc.), then you should plan for at least 10 minutes per day. However, if you want to further strengthen the bond between you and your pup, then you should aim to spend upwards of 30 minutes per day training, playing, or engaging in other activities that allow you to bond with your dog.
