Questions & Answers
Dachshunds are an incredibly unique and interesting breed of canine.
Although Dachshunds are considered a hypoallergenic breed due to their short hair, no dog is truly 100 percent hypoallergenic. That means that even if a Dachshund doesn't shed much, there is still a small possibility they could still trigger allergies in some individuals. It's a good idea to try spending time around a Dachshund and observe if any reactions occur to help determine if they would work for someone's specific needs.
Dachshunds are natural meat and fat eaters and their diet should include a combination of both. Generally, it's recommended to feed these dogs a commercially available dry food. It's important to find one that is specifically formulated for Dachshunds, since they require a well-balanced diet with adequate levels of protein, fat, carbohydrates, minerals, and vitamins. Wet food can also be introduced, as it adds extra flavor and moisture, and a higher fat content which can be beneficial for this breed. Fresh vegetables and fruits can make interesting snacks in addition to a balanced diet.
Preparing for a new Dachshund requires a few steps. First, you'll want to choose the supplies you need including a bed, toys, and bowls. You'll also need to make sure you have the appropriate food for them and a plan for potty training. It's important to set boundaries and rules early on so they understand appropriate behaviors. Next, you'll need to consider the needs of your Dachshund when looking for a veterinarian and ensure they're up-to-date on their shots and preventative treatments.
Dachshunds may not be considered large in size, but they are certainly big in spirit! Though smaller than most other breeds, they are known for being spunky and full of life, with an outgoing and spunky personality. They also have larger than life bravado and sometimes overconfidence that can make them appear much bigger than they actually are. It is this outgoing and independent nature, as well as their big-hearted loyalty, that makes them feel larger than their actual size.
While it is possible to take your dachshund running, it may not be the best idea. Many dachshunds can become excitable and difficult to corral when running around freely, which can make running with them a challenge. Additionally, dachshunds are short-haired breeds, and running can cause them to become overheated more quickly than other breeds.
Dachshunds are usually gentle dogs that can do well with children, provided that they have been socialized properly from an early age. Because they are smaller than a lot of other breeds, it is very important for them to learn how to get along with children early on. With adequate training and socialization, Dachshunds can learn to be affectionate and trusting around children, establishing a strong bond. They are full of energy and can even provide hours of entertainment for children, providing they can be kept on a regular exercise schedule.
It is difficult to give an exact number of minutes that you need to train Dachshunds on a daily basis, since they each have their own individual personalities and needs. However, a good starting place is to spend at least 20 minutes per day training and bonding with your Dachshund. Spend this time performing obedience exercises, interacting and playing with them, teaching them unique tricks, or anything else that you feel shows off their intelligence. Remember that consistency is key to build a successful relationship between you and your dog, so strive to remain consistent in your training regime.
