Questions & Answers
Dachshunds are incredibly interesting, not least because of their distinctive bodies! Dachshunds are one of the few dog breeds to have been bred specifically "to hunt badgers." Their long body shape allows them to reach into badger burrows and tackle the badger the breed is also known as the "badger dog." Additionally, the shape of their body is also thought to help them navigate tunnels when rabbit hunting. They come in a variety of coat colors ranging from solid, sable, wild boar, and brindle.
Whether or not having a Dachshund in your home will cause you to have allergies is hard to answer without knowing your particular sensitivities. Generally, all dogs have the capacity to cause allergic reactions, but the severity of the reaction may vary from individual to individual. If you or members of your family have a known allergy to pets, or other allergens, it may be prudent to consult with an allergist who can properly evaluate the potential allergic risk of keeping a Dachshund as a pet.
Dachshunds should not be fed anything that is high in fat, such as greasy foods like hamburgers. Additionally, they should not be given fruit, vegetables, or grains that may cause them digestive issues, such as onions, garlic, and mushrooms. It is also important to avoid feeding them foods containing high levels of sugar, such as candy or other sweets, as this can lead to problems with their pancreas and upset their stomach.
Becoming the best puppy parent for your Dachshund requires knowledge, patience and love. A great place to start is by learning all you can about the unique nature and needs of this breed. Research what kind of food is best, how much exercise they need, and how to handle any challenges like separation anxiety. Once you are comfortable with the basics, create an environment that is safe, stimulating, and comfortable for your puppy – this can include providing plenty of exercise, getting them used to a good routine, and providing training when needed.
Dachshunds can range in size from 8-9 inches for the miniature version, to 9-13 inches for a standard size. Generally, a full grown adult dachshund is between 16 and 32 pounds. Some larger dogs may reach up to 35 pounds or more, but this is an exception to the rule. Dachshunds are typically longer than they are tall, with short legs. They usually have an elongated muzzle, floppy ears, and a textured, wiry coat.
Dachshunds are a rather active breed, so they typically need about 60 to 90 minutes of activity each day. This can include moderately strenuous activities such as long walks or jogs, and some sort of interactive play with their humans or other Dachshunds. Additionally, the breed is known for its love of digging, so providing an area of the yard where they can fulfill this tendency is important, as well as providing other 'tasks' for them to look forward to each day.
Generally speaking, Dachshunds are usually good-natured and can get along well with other animals, as long as they are properly socialized. As long as they're introduced to other pets in a non-confrontational way, they typically get along well. However, it's important to remember that all Dachshunds have distinct personalities. Some may be more laid-back and friendly toward other pets while others may be more territorial. Consequently, it's advised to introduce your Dachshund to other pets in a controlled and supervised way.
The amount of minutes per day you need to train your Dachshund will ultimately depend on how much time you can dedicate to your dog's training. However, it's important to keep training sessions short and consistent, regardless of how much time you have available. Generally, it's recommended to practice training sessions for at least 15 minutes per day. With regular and frequent practice, your Dachshund will develop a better understanding of its desired behaviors in a shorter amount of time. The more time you can spend training your Dachshund, the better.
