Questions & Answers
Dachshunds are full of fun facts that may surprise you. For instance, did you know they stem from Germany, and their name literally translates to “badger dog”? This breed is also related to the basset hound and originated as a hunting dog. Dachshunds come in three sizes: miniature, standard, and kaninchen, which translates to "rabbit" in German. Speaking of rabbits, these pooches are known for their love of digging and have even been known to unearth rabbits in their backyard adventures.
No, Dachshunds are not considered hypoallergenic. These lovable and loyal dogs can cause allergies in some people due to the dander and proteins they shed. Those who suffer from dog allergies should be aware that a Dachshund's short fur can cause dander to stick to carpets, furniture and clothing, making the allergen more difficult to avoid or remove. If you are concerned about allergies, checking with a veterinarian beforehand is advisable.
Yes, Dachshunds have special dietary needs and should be catered to with a healthy, balanced diet. Being a small breed, they do not require as many carbohydrates or proteins as some other breeds and a kibble specifically designed for their size is best. Dachshunds should also get fats and oils in moderation due to their storage capacity. Because of their unique size and shape, Dachshunds can be prone to obesity and also certain back problems, so it's important to monitor their food intake and activities.
Preparing for a new Dachshund should be taken as seriously as adding a new member to your family. Before bringing your pup home, it is best to puppy proof your home, buy the necessary supplies such as food and water bowls, a comfy bed, and a crate, and research rules and diet plan for your pup. Additionally, it is important to set a routine of 3-4 walks a day to allow your pup to explore their surroundings, use the restroom, and get used to different types of people and animals.
Every Dachshund puppy is unique, and the size of an adult puppy will depend on which breed type it is. The standard Dachshund size can range from 8 to 9 inches tall at the shoulder when fully grown, while the miniature breed tends to be around 5 to 6 inches in height. Similarly, the standard breed can reach up to around 32 pounds, but miniatures are much smaller – typically weighing between 11 and 16 pounds.
Dachshunds are absolutely active dogs, and they need plenty of regular exercise and stimulation to be at their best. They were actually bred to hunt badgers, so they definitely have energy to spare. They're very intelligent dogs, so if you make sure to keep them well-exercised, they won't become frustrated or destructive due to boredom. They love to dig and explore– in fact, they have a natural instinct to sniff and explore their surroundings.
Yes, Dachshunds can be wonderful family dogs! They are loyal and loveable, and just the right size for families with small children. They are also helpful with security, barking when they sense something strange around the house and alerting you if an intruder is present. Dachshunds are highly social and usually get along great with individuals and other pets in the household. Of course, it's important to socialize them early and give them ample exercise and stimulation to keep them engaged and happy.
Training Dachshunds requires a dedication of time, with a certain number of minutes suggested per day. Depending on the Dachshund and their level of training, anywhere from 10 minutes up to 1 hour can be ideal. However, if you have a Dachshund who will only require basic commands, then 10 minutes each day is generally sufficient. If you have an older dog, then you may want to offer them slightly longer sessions of 15 minutes.
