Questions & Answers
Dachshunds are quite fascinating and playful creatures. Their unusual body shape comes from their purpose of hunting, which was originally used to chase and flush out badgers from their dens. They are also good swimmers! Dachshunds can be broken down into two types, standard and miniature, with three different coats: smooth, long, and wire-haired. The miniature version is a popular companion and has recently become a famous internet sensation after being featured in a variety of ads, movies, and TV shows.
It is possible that Dachshunds may cause some people to experience allergies. However, it is certainly not true across the board. Many people are able to keep a Dachshund without any issues whatsoever due to their individual level of sensitivity. Generally speaking, if you are prone to allergies, it is recommended that you spend time with a Dachshund first to test your reaction. If your allergies are mild, you may be able to manage them with regular bathing and brushing to remove any dander that may be seeded throughout your home.
Yes, Dachshunds do tend to require special dietary needs in comparison to other dog breeds. Due to their stature and build, they are prone to becoming overweight easily. As such, it is important to regulate the amount of food they are given to sustain an optimal exercise and weight level. Additionally, extra fat or sugars should be avoided in their diets to ensure good digestion of proteins and carbohydrates are maintained.
Before you bring your new Dachshund home, it's important to prepare yourself and your home for their arrival. To start, make sure you have the necessary supplies food and water bowls, a comfortable bed, toys, a crate, a harness and leash, and grooming items. Additionally, you will need to modify your home to make it friendly for the Dachshund including blocking off places they can easily get injured and put away anything that could be a choking hazard. You will also want to create a safe and secure outdoor space for your Dachshund to explore and play.
Dachshunds may generally be considered small dogs, but their personalities and legacy are larger than life. They are highly recognizable and have held a designation of "big dog" for many years. They are witty, determined little dogs who may not reach the physical stature of a Labrador Retriever, but are just as loyal and loving. Dachshunds have a rich history of appearing in movies and television shows, and they have been featured in artwork throughout the years. They are also loved by many for their unique appearance and inability to bark even when they want to.
The amount of minutes you should walk your Dachshund each day largely depends on their age, size, breed, and health. Generally speaking, Dachshunds need between 30-60 minutes of physical activity per day which can include walking, running, playing, and performing agility exercises. Try to break up the exercise into two or three times a day. Also, monitor your Dachshund’s level of activity. If they seem tired, pant or slow down, take a break or shorten the length of the walk.
Dachshunds can make excellent companions for first-time owners depending on their lifestyle and preparedness for the commitment. This breed is known to be loyal and peaceful, but can also be quite stubborn. Although generally low-maintenance, they require regular exercise and mental stimulation. First-time pet owners must take the time to do their research to understand the breed's needs, and be willing to invest in training, treating any behavioral issues—such as barking or digging—swiftly.
The amount of time required to train a Dachshund on a daily basis will depend on the individual pup and how quickly they pick up new commands. Generally, it is recommended that you set aside at least a few minutes a day to review and reinforce commands, as well as have a few more dedicated training sessions that last about 15 minutes each. Consistency is key, so it is best if these training sessions are held at the same time each day, and that they are tailored to the individual pup's needs.
