Questions & Answers
Dachshunds are a small breed of dog that come in a variety of coat types and colors. They are friendly and outgoing and tend to make great family pets. Dachshunds can be quite active and require plenty of exercise to keep them healthy and happy. They need plenty of mental stimulation and socialization too. They can be quite sensitive to cold weather and should have an insulated doghouse. Grooming needs vary depending on coat type, but all should be brushed on a regular basis to keep it looking healthy.
No, Dachshunds are not hypoallergenic. While there are no 100% hypoallergenic breeds, there are some that are more hypoallergenic than others. Dachshunds do cause fewer allergic reactions than other breeds, but due to their short coats, they still tend to produce enough dander and shed enough fur to cause allergic reactions in some people.
Dachshunds should not be fed chocolate, onions, garlic, caffeine, grapes, raisins, avocado, beer, macadamia nuts, or xylitol. These foods can be toxic and cause illnesses in your pup, so it’s best to avoid feeding them. Additionally, it is important to not overfeed your Dachshund or give them food not specifically designed for dogs; high-fat, fatty, and human food should be avoided. Furthermore, offer your Dachshund plenty of water to prevent dehydration, especially during hot weather.
Becoming the best puppy parent for your Dachshund starts with understanding their needs and being patient with them. Provide plenty of love, positive reinforcement, and consistent guidance. Give them appropriate chew toys to help with teething and exercise them regularly. Learn about the breed so you can anticipate potential behavior issues before they arise. Speak to your veterinarian for advice on a nutritious diet, regular vaccinations, and other general health care tips. As your puppy grows, be sure to offer plenty of physical and mental stimulation for them to stay healthy and happy.
The size of your Dachshund puppy will depend on the variety of Dachshund you have chosen. Most standard Dachshund puppies will grow to an adult size of 8 to 9 inches tall and usually weigh between 16 to 32 pounds. Miniature Dachshunds are typically 6 to 7 inches tall and will typically weigh between 8 to 11 pounds as an adult. As for Dachshunds that are not considered standard or miniature, they are classified as small mini or unclassified, and their adult sizes will vary depending on which classification you have chosen.
Dachshunds are energetic and active dogs that are best known for their short legs and long bodies. While their short legs do limit them somewhat, Dachshunds still need regular physical exercise to stay healthy and happy. The amount of exercise will depend on the individual dog, but most of them require about 20 to 30 minutes of light to moderate activity such as walking, playing or even just running around outdoors a few times a day. As with any breed of dog, if they are not physically active, they can become bored and prone to destructive behavior.
Yes, Dachshunds can be a wonderful family pet and generally very tolerant with children. When properly trained and socialized, they typically do well with children of all ages, although some owners report that they are sometimes extra cautious around younger kids. Dachshunds don't demand a lot of exercise, so they are a perfect addition to any indoor home with kids who want to spend quality time with their pet. With their huggable bodies and big ears, they are the perfect size for kids to handle.
Training a Dachshund depends on many factors including the individual dog's personality, training experience, age, and environment. Generally speaking, Dachshunds are intelligent, social, and driven to please which bodes well for training. However, their beagles DNA has given them an independent streak that can present a challenge when it comes to training. It's important to understand that Dachshunds have a short attention span and can be stubborn, so patience, depth of knowledge, and creativity are needed when training them.
