Questions & Answers
Dachshunds are a unique breed, often referred to as wiener dogs or sausage dogs. They were originally bred to hunt badgers and other small animals because of their strong noses and short legs. As a result, they tend to be strong-willed and independent dogs. Fun facts about Dachshunds include that they come in three different coat varieties: smooth, wirehaired, and long-haired. They also come in two sizes, standard and miniature.
No, Dachshunds are not hypoallergenic. In general, allergens vary from breed to breed, so a potential owner should research each breed before making any decisions. Hypoallergenic dogs generally have a very fine coat that sheds less, produce less dander, and have glands that do not produce as much saliva. Dachshunds, due to their short-haired coat, do produce dander and saliva. Additionally, they can have a stronger odor due to their larger amount of glands compared to other breeds.
Every dog breed has its own dietary requirements, and Dachshunds are no different. Generally, the best dog food for this breed will contain a combination of proteins, carbohydrates, and healthy fats with limited amounts of fillers and by-products. Look for a formula that lists a protein source as the first ingredient, as well as wholesome fruits and vegetables that provide necessary vitamins and minerals. Ingredients such as fish oil, as well as glucosamine and chondroitin for joint health, can also be beneficial.
Dachshunds are a unique breed, and as such, they have some requirements that should be met if you are considering owning one. They need plenty of space to run around and stretch since they have long bodies and short legs. They also require regular exercise, even if that means taking them for short walks daily or playing with them in the yard. Proper nutrition is essential for the well-being of any pet, and a Dachshund is no different. Pay special attention to calculating the correct portion size for their size and age.
Dachshunds can vary quite a bit in size. The standard size dachshund weighs 16-32 pounds and is 8-9 inches tall at the shoulder. The miniature variety (or "mini" dachshund) is usually 11 pounds or less, and stands no taller than 5 inches at the shoulder. There's also a miniature-toy variety which is even lighter and smaller at 4-5 pounds and 4-5 inches tall at the shoulder. There is quite a bit of variability, even within the same variety.
Dachshunds need a moderate level of exercise-a daily walk around the block or dog park is sufficient. Despite their low energy level, dachshunds do need to release a bit of energy and stay in shape. As with any breed, dachshunds should be kept on a leash during walks to keep them from running ahead or chasing after animals. With their long, low-slung bodies, it is very important for a dachshund to maintain proper musculo-skeletal health due to the possibility of back pain or injury.
Generally speaking, Dachshunds do get along with other pets if properly socialized. With proper training and socialization, Dachshunds can get along with cats, small animals and other dogs as long as there is an atmosphere of respect and cooperation. It is important to note that Dachshunds are very active and can be competitive with other animals, so making sure they are properly introduced and trained is essential for successful interaction. Additionally, it is important to make sure that both animals feel safe and comfortable in each others' presence.
Training your Dachshund is an important part of being a responsible pet parent. First and foremost, make sure your Dachshund is spayed or neutered, and has received all the necessary vaccinations to ensure its health and safety. Once these are taken care of, start with basic obedience commands such as "sit", "stay", "come" and "down". As your Dachshund's skills develop, you can start teaching it more difficult commands such as "wait" and "roll over".
