Questions & Answers
Dachshunds are a special breed due to their long, abnormal bodies and square-shaped heads. They have been around for hundreds of years with a long fascinating history. For starters, the name “Dachshund” itself is German for “badger hound”. This breed was originally bred as scent hounds to hunt badgers. They also have unique personalities and even though they are small, they have big attitudes and can become quite loyal and devoted to their owners.
Dachshunds are not usually considered a hypoallergenic breed. While it is commonly believed that low-shedding, non-shedding, or “hypoallergenic” dogs are better for people with allergies, this is not necessarily true. Allergens are present in both the pet’s saliva and the proteins in their urine and dander which can all contribute to pet allergies.
Dachshunds eat a variety of food including commercial dry dog food, wet food, human-grade food, treats, and snacks. Generally, it's best for a Dachshund to have quality dry food balanced with wet food that's high in protein and fat to provide nourishment and energy. It's also important to feed a Dachshund food that is specifically tailored to their size, age, and activity level. Fresh, whole foods offer an array of nutritional benefits for Dachshunds, including essential vitamins, minerals, and fatty acids.
Preparing for a new Dachshund can be an exciting experience. To ensure the best start for both you and your new pup, there are some important steps you should take. First, make sure the environment in your home is comfortable and secure for a new pet. Also, research Dachshunds and familiarize yourself with their particular needs, both for training and nutrition. Then be sure to have all the essential supplies for your pup such as food, bedding, crate, toys, and an appropriately-sized collar and leash.
Yes, Dachshunds are considered to be small size dogs when compared to larger breeds. They typically weigh between 16-32 pounds, and when fully grown, stand between 8 and 9 inches tall at the shoulder. To keep their weight and size in a healthy range, they require a moderate to low-calorie diet and moderate exercise daily. While they may be small dogs, Dachshunds are also known for their bold personality and are great family companions. They are loyal and loving, and generally enjoy the company of other pets in the home.
Many Dachshunds do enjoy swimming, as evidenced by their webbed toes and their natural curiosity when presented with water. Generally, any breed of dog is receptive to swimming, as long as the dog is socialized and properly trained. That being said, Dachshunds are a bit unique in their approach to water, as they are a shorter breed and their legs are not as ideal for propelling them through deeper areas.
Dachshunds can get along well with kids, provided they are both properly socialized. As long as children are taught proper techniques for interacting with dogs and are never left alone with a Dachshund, this breed can make an excellent addition to a home with kids. Dachshunds are a loyal, loyal breed and their bond with the family is strong. With patience and understanding, kids can learn to respect the dachshund's independent nature and limitations, and the dachshund can become a devoted and loving companion for the family.
The amount of minutes per day necessary to train a Dachshund will depend on various factors, such as the age and energy level of the dog. However, a general guideline suggests that Dachshunds should be trained for 30-50 minutes every day. This can be accomplished by engaging in activities, such as: regular walks, fetch, obedience training, and providing games that stimulate problem-solving. It is also extremely beneficial to use positive reinforcement techniques in order to reward desired behaviors, as this will help to strengthen the bond between you and your Dachshund.
