Questions & Answers
Dachshunds are a beloved breed that often sparks curiosity from fans! Did you know that Dachshunds are the only breed of dog which is classified by both size and breed type? They come in two sizes (standard and miniature) and three distinct coat varieties (smooth, long-haired, or wire-haired). They also come in a variety of colors including black, tan, red, and chocolate brown.
Although Dachshunds are not classified as a hypoallergenic breed, they are quite low shedding. This can make them a great choice for people who have mild allergies and want to have a companion pet. Dachshunds require regular brushing and grooming to keep their fur healthy, but they won't trigger allergies as much as other breeds do. Many potential dog owners research breeds that are considered less likely to aggravate allergies, and while Dachshunds don't meet that criteria, they still could be the perfect fit for many families.
Dachshunds are typically high energy dogs and require a diet that will provide them with the nutrition they need in order to reach peak performance levels. We recommend feeding your Dachshund high-quality food formulated for their size and activity level, and it should include a balance of carbohydrates, fats, proteins, minerals, and vitamins. Aim to stick to a regular feeding schedule, and if you decide to give your Dachshund treats, make sure they're appropriate for their age and size.
Preparing for your new Dachshund is an exciting process! Before bringing your pup home, you should do research of the breed to understand their characteristics. Additionally, there are several helpful items you should have on hand beforehand. It's helpful to create a safe and welcoming space, with access to shaded areas and well-ventilated areas with exposure to daylight. Invest in quality food, appropriate food dishes, and food toys. It is also beneficial to have necessary items such as a first aid kit, flea and tick treatments, bed, crate, grooming products, and a brush.
Generally speaking, Dachshunds are considered small dogs. That being said, they can come in Standard, Miniature, and Toy sizes, and the Standard size is larger than other small breeds. Dachshunds may be bigger than a Chihuahua or a Yorkie, but they're not considered to be in the same category as larger breeds such as Doberman Pinschers or Labradors. However, they are still considered loyal, loving, and courageous dogs, and can make great family companions.
Absolutely! Running and other forms of exercise are important for all dogs, regardless of breed. Dachshunds, however, have some unique considerations. A Dachshund's long spine is prone to injury, so take caution when running with your pup! Start slowly and reduce time or distance if your pup is getting tired. If your pup shows signs of joint pain, then you should stop and consult your vet. Finally, make sure your pup is properly hydrated throughout the exercise. Enjoy your time running with your Dachshund and have fun!
Dachshunds are known to thrive when living with children, so long as they are socialized from an early age. As they are fairly independent, curious and intelligent breeds, they typically enjoy the company of active kids. When introduced in the correct manner slowly and in a calm, controlled environment they are usually more than happy to bond with energetic children. Dachshunds can become reliable playmates and family members, especially when they receive consistency, patience, and plenty of love.
Training Dachshunds requires a different amount of time each day depending on the dog’s age, personality, and the specific obedience or housebreaking task that is being taught. However, the typical rule of thumb is to devote at least 15 to 20 minutes each day to teaching and reinforcing desired behaviors. Puppies should have multiple shorter sessions during the day that last between 5 and 10 minutes for the most effective learning. It's important to break up his learning to keep him interested in the task and mentally stimulated.
