Questions & Answers
Dachshunds have a great sense of smell and are quite adept at tracking and hunting small animals like rabbits and birds. They were bred in Germany and are still popularly referred to by their German name, "Dackel." They come in three sizes standard, miniature and kaninchen as well as three varieties smooth-haired, wirehaired and long-haired. They are often described as friendly, curious and brave dogs.
Managing allergies with Dachshunds can be tricky, especially if the individual is allergic to pet dander. One way to minimize allergic reactions is to groom the Dachshund outside or in a separate room, while wearing a dust mask to help reduce the airborne allergens. Regular bathing and brushing with a rubber brush or glove to help remove loose hair is beneficial. Vacuuming the house and furniture on a regular basis can also help to reduce allergens. A high-efficiency particulate air (HEPA) filter can help remove allergens from the air inside the home.
Dachshunds are a special breed of dog that requires a specific type of diet. Although some quality commercial brands of dog food may be appropriate, you should always look for an option that is rich in animal proteins and fats for optimal energy and muscle support. Additionally, a nutrient-dense, low-carbohydrate food is ideal for Dachshunds as this helps decrease the risk of digestive issues, weight problems, and many degenerative diseases.
Preparing your home for a new Dachshund pup is an exciting experience. First, it is important to create a safe space for them. This could include child-proofing furniture and moving anything that could be broken or chewed. Second, ensure your pup has their own bed to sleep in and items like toys and treats that are safe. As Dachshunds can be prone to back issues, provide a space that is clutter-free and largely cushion-free with steps available as needed. Exercise is also key for a healthy Dachshund.
Dachshunds come in two sizes, Standard and Miniature. Standard Dachshunds can range in size from 16-32 lbs and typically measure 8-9 inches from shoulder to floor. Miniature Dachshunds usually weigh between 11 and 16 lbs and measure 5-6 inches from shoulder to floor. While Standard Dachshunds are generally more suitable for larger households, Miniature Dachshunds are great for smaller or apartment-style homes. Both sizes can be excellent companions if well taken care of.
A good rule of thumb is to allow your Dachshund to have at least 30 minutes of exercise per day. While 30 minutes is a good baseline amount of time for your pup to get out and stretch their legs, the exact amount of time can vary depending on the individual needs of your pet. Additionally, you should be sure to factor in changes due to age, breed, and any particular medical needs your pet may have. With that said, it is generally recommended for healthy Dachshunds to get anywhere from 30 minutes to an hour of exercise per day.
Dachshunds have a reputation for getting along well with other pets, including cats, birds, and other small animals. However, like all dogs, their level of compatibility with other species is ultimately determined by their individual personality. Some Dachshunds may be laid-back and get along with other pets with no issues, while others may be more aggressive and not do well with new animals. It's important to take things slowly when introducing a Dachshund to a new pet to ensure that they can become comfortable with each other.
Training a Dachshund is not especially difficult, however, you'll need to be patient and consistent with the process. Start by introducing basic commands such as 'Sit' and 'Come', making sure you provide rewards when they comply. To ensure your Dachshund understands what is expected of them, repetition is key so practice training regularly. Be sure to use plenty of praise and positive reinforcement, such as treats or toys, to motivate them and provide encouragement. Additionally, create a regular walking routine to help keep the dog active and to introduce them to new environments and experiences.
