Questions & Answers
Dachshunds are a unique and recognizable breed of dog, belonging to the hound family. They are known for their short legs, long body, and oversized ears. Despite their small stature, they are hardworking and energetic dogs that make delightful pets. Dachshunds are popular playmates thanks to their lively personalities and will quickly become a beloved member of the family. These dogs are loyal and devoted, and like to stay close to their owners. Though they may be too small for jogging or long hikes, they require regular walks and plenty of playtime.
No, Dachshunds are not typically a non-shedding breed. While they are known as a “hypoallergenic” breed, this does not mean they are 100% hypoallergenic. In fact, it is normal for short hair and long hair Dachshunds to shed a considerable amount of hair and dander. Although Dachshunds are a smaller breed with less hair, it doesn’t necessarily mean shedding isn’t an issue. Regular grooming is important to manage the shedding.
The best dog food for Dachshunds is dependent upon the individual dog's needs and lifestyle. For instance, if your Dachshund is an active dog, then you might want to look for a food with higher levels of proteins to help support his energy levels. If your Dachshund is prone to allergies then you would want to look for a food that has limited ingredients and is focused on easily digestible proteins with specific carbohydrate sources such as sweet potatoes.
Yes, Dachshunds have some special requirements due to their unique physique. They can be more prone to back and joint issues, so it's important that they get plenty of exercise, while avoiding activities that require them to jump or climb stairs. Additionally, they may require more regular grooming than other breeds and should be taken for regular checkups with a qualified vet. Dachshunds can also be sensitive to cold temperatures, so it's a good idea to provide them with a warm coat for outdoor activities.
Dachshunds typically range in size from 8-9 inches in height and can weigh anywhere from 16-32 lbs. The breed standard for miniature dachshunds is 5-6 inches with a weight of 11 lbs or less. Dachshunds come in two coat varieties: short-haired and long-haired, as well as three sizes: Standard, Miniature, and Kaninchen (Rabbit). They have strong legs and their bodies should appear long and robust.
Dachshunds certainly have a personality that is active and engaging. These small, low to the ground pups can often show bursts of energy and a zest for life. However, their need for activity varies. While some Dachshunds will enjoy taking walks or running in a fenced in yard, others may prefer a more sedentary lifestyle. Whether your Dachshund is bounding or lazing, they are always sure to show you love and affection.
Dachshunds are generally very friendly and outgoing, so they do get along well with children. They are energetic and make wonderful companion pets. With appropriate training and socialization from a young age, Dachshunds can learn how to interact and play gently, as most breeds of dogs can. Dachshunds need regular exercise to stay healthy, and kids can be great playmates during regular walks or runs. Dachshunds enjoy interaction and attention, so they are often quite fond of children.
Training your Dachshund requires consistency and patience. First, establish a routine for potty training and make sure your pup has plenty of opportunities for bathroom breaks. When teaching your pup basic commands such as "sit" and "stay", reward them with treats when they do the correct behavior – and never punish them if they do not respond as expected. Don't forget to take breaks throughout the training session since Dachshunds can become easily overwhelmed and distracted. When teaching obedience and tricks, be sure you have a variety of treats and toy rewards that your pup finds different and exciting.
