Questions & Answers
Dachshunds are part of the hound group of dogs. This classification places them in a category of hunting dogs that are known for their intense tracking and stamina. They have long bodies, short legs, and a distinctively curved tail. They come in three coat varieties, including short-haired, long-haired, and wire-haired. Dachshunds are an incredibly popular breed of companion dog, and they are often characterized by their playfulness, loyalty, and intelligence. They can live for up to 16 years and can weigh up to 32 pounds when fully grown.
While no dog is completely hypoallergenic, Dachshunds are relatively low-shedding and generally considered as good pets for allergy sufferers by the Asthma and Allergy Foundation of America. They are small enough to not take up too much space in an apartment or home, making them an appealing choice for people living with allergies. Furthermore, they have relatively short, double coated fur that is low-dander.
Dachshunds are known for their sensitive digestive systems, so the best food for them is one that is designed specifically for their unique nutritional needs. Look for a food with higher fat content and lower carbohydrates to sustain their energy levels and help control their weight. It should also be rich in vitamins and antioxidants to promote their overall health and help them maintain their immune system. Finally, it should be made from human-grade ingredients, so you can feel safe knowing you’re giving your pet only the best.
Becoming the best puppy parent for your Dachshund takes commitment, patience, and consistency. Start by establishing a consistent routine that your dog can follow. Feed your Dachshund on the same schedule, and take them outside to potty at the same time each day. This helps them feel comfortable and secure. It's also important to make sure that your pup has plenty of exercise to build up muscle tone and help them stay active and healthy. Socializing your Dachshund at an early age is also key.
Dachshunds come in three sizes: Standard, Miniature, and Toy, ranging from 8-32 lbs. Standard Dachshunds typically weigh between 16-32 lbs. and measure 8-11 inches in height. Miniature Dachshunds weigh between 11-16 lbs. and measure 5-7 inches in height. Toy Dachshunds are the smallest size, usually weighing in at 8 lbs. or less and measuring 5 inches or less in height.
While the inclination to swim may vary from one Dachshund to another, typically these discerning dogs of prey have a natural tendency to enjoy the water. It is important to recognize that Dachshunds are bred to have short legs that make their swimming and taking on larger bodies of water difficult. That being said, if a Dachshund is introduced to water in a positive manner and begins to associate it with playtime and treats, they may ultimately end up being quite the water-loving pup.
Dachshunds make great pets for families with children, as they are usually friendly and loving. Unlike some other breeds, Dachshunds have a reputation for being gentle and patient with young ones, in addition to being loyal and protective. They thrive on playtime, plenty of attention, and lots of affection. Also, their small size makes them suitable for households of all sizes, and their playful, trusting nature is often a hit with kids.
Training a Dachshund does require commitment and patience, but it is absolutely achievable. Due to their stubbornness, these dogs may require more focus and dedication than other breeds. However, if owners are consistent and rewarding in their training, Dachshunds can learn to respond to basic commands quickly and learn more complex behaviors over time. Positive reinforcement is key when training a Dachshund treats, playtime, and praise should always be used as motivation.
