Questions & Answers
A Dachshund is a small breed of hound, also known as a 'wiener dog' in popular culture. With its elongated body, short legs and elongated snout, this breed is often recognized by its unique silhouette. Originally developed in Germany centuries ago to hunt badgers, Dachshunds come in a variety of colors, shapes, and sizes. Despite their short legs, Dachshunds are surprisingly good runners and have a lot of energy. Some variations of this breed also excel at tasks such as tracking, earthdog and agility trials.
Dachshunds do have the potential to cause allergies, however the amount of dander they produce is typically quite minimal and not enough to set off the kind of severe allergic reactions some people experience when exposed to certain animals. Allergies to dogs depend largely on individual sensitivity and the type of fur and skin they have, so although some people may be allergic to a Dachshund, others may not be.
When it comes to determining the best diet for your Dachshund, it's important to consider their breed-specific dietary needs. Dachshunds are what's known as a small-medium breed, meaning their metabolic rates may differ from larger breeds. Accordingly, a balanced diet rich in high-quality proteins, fats, carbohydrates, minerals, and vitamins is recommended. Look for formulas that are designed for small-medium breeds, with Calorie-dense, easy-to-digest ingredients, like those offered by Acana or Orijen.
Yes, Dachshunds have certain special requirements that should be given consideration when caring for them. They are susceptible to back problems due to their long backbone and short legs, so it is particularly important to protect their spine and back with appropriate care. Dachshunds benefit greatly from exercise, however those with back issues should not engage in activities that may cause excessive strain to the spine such as jumping off furniture or other obstacles and should instead take part in activities that are more appropriate and low impact for their body and size.
Yes, Dachshunds are generally considered small dogs. According to the American Kennel Club, the Standard Dachshund is a medium-sized dog, while the Miniature Dachshund is a small dog. Its compact and elongated body along with its short legs make it the ideal small companion for any house. Dachshunds have long, lively tails and ears that add to their charm. They don't require much exercise and can be the perfect "lap dog" that will enjoy nothing more than being around its owners.
Taking your Dachshund running can be beneficial for both you and your pup, however, it is important to consider your dog's size and breed before beginning a running regime. The Dachshund is considered a small breed so it is not equipped to sustain long distances at high speeds. As with any exercise, it is important to go slowly and build up over time. Start with short, slow distances and consider the terrain that's best for your pup. Avoid running on hot surfaces as short-legged dogs cannot regulate their body temperature as easily and may overheat quickly.
Dachshunds are a loyal, loving breed of dog that make wonderful family pets. They are playful, hardy, and surprisingly intelligent. Their fierce loyalty ensures that they'll become devoted members of your family, but they're also independent enough to be content living alone. Dachshunds are particularly well-suited for families with children as they can bond with them and be entertained by play. That said, they may be too energetic and feisty for very small children or seniors.
The amount of time you should dedicate to training Dachshunds each day will depend largely on their individual needs as well as the goals you have for them. As a general recommendation, you should aim for between 15-20 minutes of focused training each day. This should include positive reinforcement, lots of treats and plenty of habit-forming exercises. Alongside this, you should also make sure that your Dachshund gets at least 30-60 minutes of exercise and mental stimulation. This could include walks, play or even interactive puzzle toys.
