Questions & Answers
Dachshunds are a unique breed full of fun facts! One such fact is that the breed was originally bred to hunt badgers which makes sense, considering their name comes from the German phrase “Dachs" (badger) and "Hund" (dog). In addition, dachshunds come in two sizes standard and miniature both full of energy and fun. Another interesting fact is that no two dachshunds ever have the same coloring as there are various coat pattern color combinations.
Dachshunds are not known to be a common cause of allergies for most people. It is difficult to predict if owning a Dachshund will cause an allergic reaction or not, since allergies differ from person to person. If you already suffer from allergies, you might want to consider getting allergy tested before getting a Dachshund. Factors like the dog's grooming habits, what kind of material is in their bedding, and the presence of dust can also play a role in allergies. Allergy shots and regular visits to the vet are always helpful in managing pet allergies.
Dachshunds do best on a high-quality dry kibble specifically formulated for small breed dogs. It's important to give them healthy, natural ingredients as much as possible, such as lean proteins and fresh fruits and vegetables. They also need dietary fats to give them enough energy, vitamins, and minerals. In addition to their kibble, Dachshunds can also enjoy a variety of healthy treats such as plain cooked chicken, beef, fish, or boiled eggs. Just be sure that treats don't make up more than 10 percent of their daily diet.
Preparation for a new Dachshund starts even before your pet arrives. First, you should ensure your home is safe and your furniture is safe from teething puppies by covering sharp cornered coffee tables and putting away any items that could be chewed on. You will also need to puppy proof your electrical cords and purchase puppy gates, if applicable, to make sure areas of your home are off-limits to your puppy. Additionally, you should create a comfortable and cozy sleeping space with a crate or bed, food and water bowls, and toys.
Dachshunds are often considered a small breed of dog, however it's important to note that size can vary greatly within dog breeds. So while they are generally viewed as small, a Dachshund's size can range from just a few pounds to up to 30 or more, making them a perfectly respectable size for many families. Furthermore, Dachshunds are known hardy, active dogs, so this extra size doesn't impact their agility or energy level as much as it would for other breeds.
Generally speaking, Dachshunds require about 60 minutes of moderate exercise each day. The best way to provide this is to take your Dachshund for two or three walks lasting 30 minutes each. These should consist of at least 20 minutes of brisk walking, running, or jogging. Along with longer walks, it's also important to provide your pet with shorter playtime sessions throughout the day to keep their minds and bodies stimulated. Make sure to always keep your pet leashed and stop if they seem to be tired or overly excited.
Dachshunds can generally get along very well with other pets, provided they are introducing them properly. Early socialization and introductions when the Dachshund is a puppy will be beneficial for its later relationships with other animals. It is important to closely monitor interactions and watch for signs of aggression between the pet Dachshund and other animals, as it can be territorial. Encouraging the Dachshund to play with, or alongside, another pet and rewarding them with positive reinforcement, such as treats or toys, can help to build the bond.
The exact number of minutes per day you need to dedicate to training your dachshund will depend on its age, disposition, and prior training. Generally, adult dachshunds can benefit from anywhere between 30 minutes to an hour of training per day. Puppies often need more intensive training sessions and may require up to two hours of training split up throughout the day. It's important to begin as soon as possible to ensure your dachshund learns the basics of house training and obedience commands, as well as socialization with other animals and people.
