Questions & Answers
Dachshunds are a type of small hound that originated in Germany. This breed is known for its long, low body and short legs. Dachshunds are active and curious, and they thrive best with plenty of exercise and mental stimulation. They can be clingy and need a lot of attention from their owners. Dachshunds are also known for their incredible sense of smell, their fearlessness, and their loyalty to their family. They come in two sizes: standard and miniature.
While no dog breed is 100% hypoallergenic, Dachshunds may still be a good choice for those who experience allergies. Their coats are generally thicker than other breeds and feature hard, short hair that doesn't shed profusely so there is less dander in the air. Although these dogs do require regular brushing, they don't need frequent bathing or other high maintenance grooming. With that in mind, it's worth noting that each individual does have differing levels of reactivity, so it's always best to do a trial period before making a long term decision.
Dachshunds have quite an extensive diet and can typically consume a variety of foods. Generally, it is best to feed Dachshunds a high-quality dry kibble at least once or twice a day. Make sure to choose a dog food specifically formulated for small breeds. You may also consider supplementing with canned dog food or wet cubes of dry food. It is important to feed them according to their size and activity level. Additionally, treats can often provide extra nutrition.
It's important to properly prepare your home before introducing your new Dachshund. Creating a safe and comfortable environment for your pup should be one of your first priorities. Start by clearing the area of any items that may be hazardous, either to the pup or its belongings. Make sure to securely fasten any items that may come loose during playtime. You should also set up a comfortable place for your pup to rest, such as a soft bed or bed mat that your pup can relax on. Lastly, provide plenty of toys and chew toys to help keep your pup entertained.
Dachshunds are definitely considered to be small dogs. They are usually classified as a toy breed because of their size typically, though it may vary on the type of Dachshund. Generally, most Dachshunds are between 8 and 9 inches tall and their average weight range from 16 to 32 pounds. They have a long body with short legs, giving them their signature look and build. Dachshunds also tend to live longer than other breeds, and if properly taken care of, can be quite the companion for up to 14 years or more.
The amount of time you spend walking your Dachshund can vary depending on your dog's age, activity level, and overall health. Generally speaking, Dachshunds should receive 30 minutes of exercise each day. Walking is an ideal form of low-impact exercise, and it will help your pup maintain a healthy weight and might even help reduce risks of certain health conditions. For pups under 8 months old, 15 minutes of low-to-medium intensity walking per day should suffice. For older dogs, we recommend 45-60 minutes of exercise divided into two or three sessions.
Dachshunds can be excellent family dogs if they are well-trained and socialized correctly. They have an energetic and inquisitive personality which, when channeled in the right way, can make them an ideal companion for many families. Dachshunds are loyal to their owners and can form very strong bonds with them. They may want to be involved in all of the family's activities and can become a very valued member of the family. If given a proper amount of exercise and attention they can become a devoted and loving pet.
Training a Dachshund is not too different from training any other breed of dog. Most important is to start early, provide positive reinforcement, be consistent, and set clear boundaries and rules that your pet must follow. It is best to break down the training into easy-to-follow steps. First, teach them the basic commands like sit, stay, lay down and come. Make sure to reward your dog’s correct behavior with small treats and lots of praise. Next, practice solving problem behaviors.
