Questions & Answers
Dachshunds are one of the most unique and interesting breeds of dogs around. Their distinct, elongated body and short legs gives them an unusual, comical appearance. But it also serves a purpose, as it allows for their burrowing hunting lifestyle. They are known for their loyal personalities and are usually quite affectionate with their owners, making them great companion animals. Also, while they may behave stubbornly and be difficult to train, their loyal nature more than makes up for that.
While it's not impossible to find a hypoallergenic Dachshund, most Dachshunds do not possess the qualities of a hypoallergenic breed. Because Dachshunds have thick, double-layered fur, they often have a higher production of dander, which can induce respiratory problems in people prone to allergies. Additionally, most Dachshunds require frequent grooming, which could, in turn, agitate sensitive allergies. Allergists generally recommend breeds that have a single-layered or hairless coat for those with allergies.
Dachshunds need a nutritionally well-balanced diet to stay healthy and thrive. Depending on your dog's age and activity level, you should feed them a specific type of food. Most veterinarian clinics recommend a diet that is specifically tailored to the size of your dog. Consider feeding your dog a premium dry kibble, as this is a balanced diet that contains all of the nutrition they need. Additionally, you may want to complement the kibble with high-quality canned food, fresh fruits and vegetables.
To prepare for your new Dachshund, it's important to have the necessary supplies and to plan for his training. First, ensure that you have all the required equipment a comfortable collar and leash set, food and water dishes, and a cozy bed or crate where your pup can rest. Additionally, you'll need to decide what food you will feed your Dachshund, where to take him for veterinarian check-ups, and how you will handle potty training, walking, and other obedience tasks.
Yes, Dachshunds are generally considered small dogs. They are classified as a toy breed due to their size, which reaches an average height of 8-9 inches and weighs an average of 16-32 pounds. This small size makes them ideal for apartment living and other small spaces. Additionally, these dogs make great companion animals as they love to cuddle and are easy to train. Dachshunds also have a playful, energetic personality and are known for their loyalty to their owners.
That depends on the age and general health of your Dachshund. For puppies, short walks to explore the area and to build muscle should be conducted often. Adult Dachshunds may require about 30 minutes a day to remain healthy and spry. Senior Dachshunds may require a bit less time as older dogs tend to tire more easily. All walks should be at a brisk pace so that your pup and is able to stretch his legs and sniff the sights and smells around him.
Generally speaking, Dachshunds can be social with other pets, but they are typically better suited living without them. Dachshunds are protective and confident, so they may try to establish dominance over other animals. It's important to note that temperament and socialization play a role as well; a Dachshund with good training should be able to adjust to living with other pets, such as cats and other small breeds of dogs. However, it's important to introduce other pets to the Dachshund gently and over a long period of time.
Training a Dachshund can certainly be a rewarding experience but, depending on your pup's own temperament and past experiences, it may not always be considered “easy”. Generally speaking, Dachshunds are intelligent and energetic, known for their curious and independent behavior, so it can take a little extra patience and time to train them. By offering consistent, positive reinforcement and continuing to give praise when appropriate, it is possible for an owner to establish a successful training routine with their Dachshund.
