Questions & Answers
A Dachshund is a type of small hound-like breed of dog with a long physical appearance. They typically have short legs and a wide chest, and come in three coat varieties— smooth, wire-haired, and long-haired. Dogs belonging to this breed of canines are generally known for hunting small animals like rabbits and badgers as well as being good friends and loving pets for those who choose to keep them as their furry companion.
It is difficult to say whether Dachshunds will cause you to have allergies as all individuals vary. Some people may be allergic to the type of fur, dander, saliva, or other elements of a particular breed of dog. It is best to consult with an allergist and discuss potential reactions to Dachshunds before getting one as a pet. Although an allergy test can provide helpful information about a person's individual reaction to certain breeds of dogs, it may not determine whether contact with a particular breed of dog will cause an individual to have an allergic reaction.
Dachshunds require a nutritious, balanced diet, tailored to their age, size, and activity level. The best option is to provide them with high-quality, age-appropriate kibble. It should consist mostly of animal protein with complex carbohydrates, healthy fats, minerals, and vitamins. If you wish to supplement the kibble, be sure to do so with nutritious items like brown rice, cooked lean meats, small amounts of vegetables, and low-fat dairy products. Avoid giving them table scraps, sugary treats, or any food that is high in fat.
Becoming the best puppy parent for your Dachshund requires investing time and effort into researching the breed, its characteristics and behaviour to best meet the needs of your pup. Start by developing a regime, as routine is important for your pup's wellbeing and training. You will also need to be consistent in how you handle and address your pup’s behaviour to ensure good communication, particularly in the early months. Provide mental stimulation, as Dachshunds are intelligent and need to stay engaged. Exercise is important, so take your pup for regular walks and gradually increase this as he grows.
Dachshunds come in two size varieties, standard and miniature. The standard size stands between 8 and 9 inches tall at the shoulder, while the miniature size stands no more than 5 to 6 inches tall. Males can weigh between 16 and 32 pounds, and females between 16 and 26 pounds. Although some Dachshunds may be smaller or larger than these size guidelines, these are standard sizes for the breed.
Yes, you can take your Dachshund running! Dachshunds are incredibly active and energetic dogs perfect for running. Before you begin, you should first make sure that your dog is healthy enough for exercise. A Dachshund should have an overall wellness exam with a vet before any running exercise. You'll also want to be sure that your running surface is soft to avoid any joint or paw injuries. Additionally, you may want to opt for harnesses instead of collars in order to ensure safety and reduce strain on the Dachshund's neck.
Absolutely! Dachshunds make wonderful family pets. They’re loyal and affectionate, with strong bonds to their owners. Plus, they have a playful, gentle nature and easy-going personalities that make them very easy to live with. Dachshunds are highly adaptable and thrive in a variety of home situations, making them a great pet for both first-time owners and experienced pet parents alike. As long as they get plenty of attention, exercise, and care, they’re sure to bring loads of love, affection, and laughter to your home.
Training a Dachshund is an important part of establishing a strong relationship and successful obedience. First, begin by understanding your dog's individual temperament and energy level, as this will help determine the appropriate training techniques and strategies. Once you have established what type of training works best for your dog, depending upon whether it be Positive Reinforcement, Clicker Training, or a combination of techniques, it is important to create a consistent routine with treats and bedtime routines. Additionally, it is vital to set realistic goals and expectations for your Dachshund.
