Questions & Answers
Dachshunds are lovable, cheerful, and lively little dogs that are very devoted and loyal to their owners. They come in three sizesStandard, Miniature, and Toy, with a smooth-haired, long-haired, or wire-haired coat. Dachshunds are active dogs and require daily exercise and mental stimulation as well as lots of attention and love. As they are scent hounds and hunters, they have a strong urge to explore and can sometimes wander away if not kept an eye on.
No, Dachshunds are not hypoallergenic. These lovable dogs are actually members of the Non-Sporting group and are known to shed. This means that their fur and dander, which can be a common allergen, can set off allergies in some people. However, there are steps that can be taken to minimize exposure to allergens, such as grooming and bathing regularly, regular vacuuming, and using air purifiers around the home.
Dachshunds, also known as "sausage dogs" or "wiener dogs" because of their small size and long body shape, require a customized diet that supports their unique stature and nutritional needs. The best diet for a Dachshund should include high-quality protein sources, complex carbohydrates, essential vitamins and minerals, and moderate amounts of essential fatty acids. While commercial kibble or wet food is acceptable, high-quality fresh meat can also provide essential nutrients and energy for a healthy lifestyle.
Prior to bringing a Dachshund into your home, you should make sure to have the necessary supplies to properly care for them. Essential items include a comfortable bed, leash and collar, food and water bowls, toys, grooming supplies such as a brush, shampoo, and nail clippers, chews, treats, a crate, and of course, lots of love and patience! An interactive dog toy or puzzle is also very beneficial for mental stimulation, as they are often known for their intelligence.
Dachshunds are usually categorized by size into three distinct types: standard, miniature, and kaninchen (rabbit). Standard dachshunds, the largest size, range in height from 8-9 inches and weigh between 16-32 pounds. The next size down is the miniature dachshund which stands 5-6 inches and generally weigh anywhere between 8-11 pounds. The smallest of the three, the kaninchen dachshunds, typically measure in at 3-4 inches and rarely weigh more than 6 pounds.
It is recommended that you walk your Dachshund for at least 30 minutes each day. This will keep your pup healthy, active and mentally stimulated. Breeds like Dachshunds are prone to gaining weight, so regular walks can help to prevent this problem. It's also important to give them the opportunity to explore their environment and take in all the different sights, smells, and sounds. Walking can also help to reduce hyperactivity and keep them calm in the home.
Dachshunds are generally friendly dogs that love attention from their owners. If raised with children, they can be an excellent addition to any family. With proper training and socialization, Dachshunds can develop a strong bond with children and be very patient with them. They are intelligent and eager to please, so they learn basic commands and manners quickly. Dachshunds have more energy than some other breeds and thrive best when given regular exercise. When introduced to children in a supervised situation, Dachshunds will usually get along quite well with them.
Training a Dachshund can be tricky, but it doesn't have to be difficult. Consistency is key to solidifying desired behaviors. Start by using positive reinforcement such as offering treats, playing, and verbal praise when your pup does something desirable. Always reward the behavior that you want your Dachshund to repeat. It can be helpful to use a clicker to indicate your approval of their actions as it quickly catches their attention. Additionally, incorporate crate-training to allow your pup a safe, consistent spot to retreat to. Exercise can help to release energy and increase focus.
