Questions & Answers
A Dachshund is a medium-sized breed of dog that originates from Germany. Characterized by their long body and short legs, they are often referred to as a “wiener dog” or “sausage dog.” Professing to be “bold, curious, and clever,” Dachshunds are popular companion dogs. These loving dogs are usually loyal and devoted to their family, and have a unique spunky personality. They enjoy physical and mental stimulation, ranging anywhere from going for a walk to learning tricks.
No, Dachshunds are not hypoallergenic. While there is no such thing as a completely hypoallergenic dog, some breeds are much less likely to cause allergic reactions than others, and the Dachshund is not one of those breeds. There are many factors that can affect how much a dog will cause allergies, such as coat length and regular grooming, but unfortunately, no amount of grooming can make a Dachshund hypoallergenic.
Dachshunds are a special breed of dog, so they require a specific diet to help support their long and sinuous body. When selecting the best dog food for your Dachshund, look for options that are tailored specifically for the breed. Best bets are foods with higher levels of protein and a balance of fats, carbohydrates, and other necessary nutrients. Additionally, find a diet that has small, easy-to-chew kibble pieces for easier feeding. Formulas specially made for small breed dogs are great options as they are tailored to meet the needs of smaller mouths.
To become the best puppy parent for your Dachshund, it's important to take your time to learn and understand your pup's needs. Be consistent with guidance, training and routines, as this will help your pup learn and grow as a well behaved, affectionate companion. Establishing positive relationships through consistent and positive reinforcement is vital and will encourage the development of behaviors that you can both be proud of. Make sure to provide plenty of mental stimulation and physical activity to keep your pup's mind and body active.
Dachshunds are small but spirited dogs with a big personality! Though they are smaller in stature than many other dog breeds, Dachshunds are considered 'big' in many ways. They are loyal and loving companions who are always eager to please. Dachshunds have an intelligence and out going personality that makes them both goofy and endearing as well as capable of performing all sorts of activities and tasks. Dachshunds are also great guard dogs, despite their small size.
Dachshunds may not be the first breed of dog most people would think of as a natural swimmer, and while some dachshunds may thoroughly enjoy a dip in the pool, many have a strong aversion to water. While some dachshunds have an inherited tolerance for the water from their ancestors, some may take significant time and patience to introduce them to swimming. That being said, if you take your time and attempt to be patient, you may find that your dachshund could develop a love for swimming.
Dachshunds can make wonderful companions for families with children. They generally have a friendly and playful disposition and, with the right training and socialization, are known to be a great addition to a home with kids. These intelligent, trainable dogs love being around humans, and they tend to seek out cuddles and hugs which makes them a favorite amongst children. It's important to remember however that all dogs need regular exercise and mental stimulation, and Dachshunds may not always be well-suited for extremely young kids due to their size.
The amount of time needed to train a Dachshund depends largely on the goals of the training as well as the individual temperament of the dog. Generally, it can take anything from 10 minutes a day to several hours, depending on your schedule and the length of time the dog responds well to the training. It's best to start with around 10-15 minutes per day and slowly increase the amount of time as you and your Dachshund get comfortable with the routine. This will also give your dog time to rest and stay motivated for the next session.
