Questions & Answers
Dachshunds are an interesting breed of dogs with a variety of unique characteristics! They typically make great family pets and are usually quite loyal and friendly. Dachshunds can range in size from miniature to standard and come in both long-haired and short-haired coats. As far as temperament, they can be brave, curious, and easily trained. They are also relatively low-maintenance and don't need to be taken on long walks everyday. Additionally, much like any breed, they should be brushed and groomed regularly to keep their coats healthy.
Dachshunds are not hypoallergenic, meaning they are not considered a breed safe for those with allergies. Unfortunately, their coat type and biology mean that they produce allergens, which can put people with allergies at risk of a reaction. They are considered a moderate-shedding breed, release allergens—both through direct contact and in their dander—they can easily become airborne and end up in the air you breathe. It is always best to discuss any health concerns with a qualified vet if you are considering owning a dachshund.
Dachshunds are considered small to medium sized dogs with a hearty appetite. It is important to feed your Dachshund the best diet possible to keep him in optimal health and energy. As a breed, they are prone to weight gain and can quickly become overweight if food portions are too large. A good rule is to feed your Dachshund two meals a day of a high quality, premium kibble. If you provide treats, keep them to a minimum of 10% of their overall daily caloric intake.
Preparing your home for a new Dachshund should focus on safety and comfort for your dog. First, establish a designated area of the home solely for your Dachshund. This area should be relatively quiet and free from frequent disruptions. Set up a cozy and durable bed for them to rest on, as well as toys for them to play with and chew. Make certain that any cords and dangerous objects are out of reach. Depending on the size, purchase either a crate or playpen to place in their designated area.
Yes, Dachshunds are considered to be a small dog breed. They generally weigh anywhere between 16-32 pounds and can stand somewhere between 8-9 inches tall to their shoulders. They may be a small breed, but they are known for their courage and big personalities. Dachshunds are full of energy and generally require daily exercise and mental stimulation from their owners. They are also known to be playful and make a great companion with the right training and socialization.
The amount of daily exercise your Dachshund needs really depends on their age, energy level, and overall health. If your pup is active and healthy, you should aim to get them at least 30 to 45 minutes of brisk walking each day. This can be done through multiple shorter walks and playing in your yard or local park. By getting your pup used to exercising regularly, they will stay lean and healthy. If your dog is aimed to maintain a healthy weight, it might even need an hour of exercise depending on its breed and size.
Dachshunds are a great choice for first-time owners, particularly if they have a lot of love to give and a willingness to learn how to care for their pet. Dachshunds are loyal and affectionate and get along well with people, making them an excellent choice for those who are just entering the world of dog ownership. They are generally not too demanding, but still require daily exercise and plenty of affection to stay healthy and happy.
Depending on your individual Dachshund and their individual needs, an effective plan for training a Dachshund would involve about 15-30 minutes a day. However, when first getting them used to being trained, it is best to start with shorter, more frequent training sessions of 5 minutes at a time over the course of a couple hours. As your dog becomes more confident with their commands, you can then increase your training sessions to longer times and even multiple times a day.
