Questions & Answers
Dachshunds are the world's most popular small-breed dogs. They often boast an energetic and passionate personality, along with a long-bodied build that is well-suited for burrowing and tunneling. Fun facts about them include: they were originally bred to hunt small game like badgers; they have a bowlegged stance due to their short legs that helps them to fit better in a narrow burrow; and they come in three varieties (smooth-haired, long-haired, and wire-haired) with two sizes (standard and miniature).
Dachshunds do not typically cause people to have allergies. However, some people may be sensitive to pet fur or pet dander and experience some allergy-like symptoms. Allergic reactions are the result of an individual's immune system overreacting to proteins found in the pet's saliva, urine, and dander. Symptoms of pet allergies can include sneezing, coughing, itching, nasal congestion, and/or watery eyes.
Dachshunds are a unique type of breed that require specific nutrition in order to maintain a healthy lifestyle. An ideal diet for a Dachshund should be high in protein and should include canned, dry, and raw dog food. It is also important to choose a diet that accommodates their unique physique, as Dachshunds have a deep chest and a long back, which can lead to issues surrounding gastric storage if not taken into consideration. Additionally, it is important to monitor the amount of food your Dachshund consumes, due to their tendency to overeat.
Before bringing a Dachshund into your home, there are some essential items to consider purchasing. Firstly, a comfortable bed and a tote of toys to keep your pup entertained. Additionally, food and water bowls and a collar for identification that should fit properly for the pup's neck size. You will also require grooming supplies such as a brush, trimming scissors, puppy toothbrush, nail clippers and a shampoo. Additionally, a crate should be considered for training and safety purposes. Lastly, a leash and a bag of treats to help encourage and motivate your pup during the training process.
Dachshunds are popular for their small size, but they come in multiple sizes that are still considered within the breed's standard. The American Kennel Club (AKC) officially recognizes four sizes of Dachshunds: Standard, Miniature, Kaninchen (Rabbit) and Tweenie. Standard Dachshunds can grow to 16-32 lbs and around 8-9 inches tall.
Yes, it is possible to take your Dachshund running, however, it is important to consider the age, size, and health of your dog prior to making this commitment. Depending on the activity level of your Dachshund, they may not be able to accompany you on the run for the entirety of the time or it may be too exhausting for them. Additionally, as running can put more strain on a dog's joints, a pup with joint or hip issues may have difficulty completing an extended run, depending on the speed and difficulty of the terrain.
Yes, Dachshunds generally get along well with kids. However, each individual dog has its own unique personality and may have a variety of preferences. As with any animal, it is important to properly socialize and train Dachshunds around children to create a positive experience for both pets and kids. While small in stature, it's important to remember that Dachshunds were bred to hunt, and proper supervision is always recommended when young children interact with these lively and inquisitive dogs.
It depends on the age and experience of the Dachshund, and the outcome you wish to achieve with the training. Generally, a few minutes of focused training each day is sufficient to make steady progress. Puppies should begin with shorter periods lasting no more than 5 minutes per session. As your pup grows and is better able to focus, you can increase the duration as desired, up to around 10-20 minutes for older dogs and more complex tasks.
