Questions & Answers
Dachshunds are popularly known as “Wiener” or “Sausage” dogs due to their elongated shape, and they belong to the Hound group of dogs. These groups contain breeds that were originally used for hunting, although Dachshunds today are more commonly kept as companions. The breed is often distinguished by its short, stubby legs and long bodies. They are pleasant, loyal companions with lively personalities. They also require regular exercise and training, as with all dog breeds, and need familiarization with consistent, positive reinforcement.
Dachshunds are not considered to be hypoallergenic breeds; however, that doesn't mean that all Dachshunds will be a trigger for people with allergies. Allergic reactions are individual, and if someone is particularly allergic to dogs, a Dachshund may still be a possibility, though it is likely that the allergies are triggered by something other than the breed itself. Generally speaking, Dachshunds do not shed much and have short and smooth coats, so they can be a better option for those with allergies than other breeds.
Dachshunds are very resilient and can eat a variety of foods. They need a diet consisting of high-quality dry kibble with at least 18% protein and 5-10% fat, along with some wet food meals, specifically designed for smaller breeds. Additionally, they need a balanced diet high in vegetable matter, omega-3 fatty acids, and lean proteins. They also thrive on fruits and vegetables. Some recommended primary sources of protein for a Dachshund's diet include cooked chicken, fish, beef, and eggs.
Preparing your home for a new Dachshund is an important step to take in order to ensure their health and happiness. To begin, make sure to get all necessary supplies such as food, bowls, a leash and collar, bedding, toys and more. Second, create an area that is just for your pup. If they have a crate, now is the time to set it up in the home. Lastly, ensure that your home is puppy proof.
On average, Dachshunds range in size from 8 to 9 inches tall and can weigh anywhere from 16 to 32 pounds. Smaller Dachshunds will tend to weigh less than the larger varieties, due to their shorter legs and size. They have a wide body count and long torso with a keenly fox-like face. They usually range from 11 to 12 pounds in weight when fully grown. Large Dachshunds are anywhere from 16 to 32 pounds, depending on the variety. Miniature Dachshunds weigh in at 11 pounds or less.
Dachshunds are a highly active breed and need daily exercise to stay healthy and fit. How much exercise your Dachshund needs depends greatly on their age, size, and general health. Generally, a healthy adult dachshund should get a minimum of 30 minutes of activity most days, preferably divided into two 15-minute walks or play sessions. Puppies will need much shorter and more frequent walks and playtime to ensure healthy development. Keeping your Dachshund's daily activities varied will provide mental stimulation they need.
Generally speaking, Dachshunds are great with kids! Many owners report that their Dachshunds are fun, outgoing, and eager to play. Dachshunds also tend to bond with children and make great family pets. It is important to bear in mind, however, that the Dachshund is an excitable breed and can easily become overeager when playing, so regular activities should be conducted in a calm and controlled setting.
Training your Dachshund requires patience, consistency, and lots of positive reinforcement. Begin by teaching your Dachshund your basic commands such as 'sit', 'stay', 'come', and 'no'. After introducing these simple commands, work on further training by increasing the duration of your commands and adding other behaviors like 'leave it' and 'down'. It can be helpful to practice short, 5-minute training sessions each day. Also, be sure to provide lots of treats for a job well done and reward your Dachshund every time they demonstrate a desirable behavior.
