Questions & Answers
Dachshunds are a distinct breed of dog classified in the hound group. Recognizable for their short legs, long bodies and floppy ears, Dachshunds are active, loyal and intelligent. Though bred as working dogs to scent, hunt and trail, these days they are primarily kept as beloved companions. Their roots are traced to German forebears where they were used to hunt badgers and other den animals. As a result these small dogs are known for their courage and determination, meaning they ought to come up against much larger game.
Generally, Dachshunds are considered to be hypoallergenic dogs, meaning they are less likely to cause allergies than other breeds of dogs. However, no breed of dog can be considered truly hypoallergenic as individuals can still be sensitive to the proteins that cause an allergic reaction to any breed of dog. It is ultimately impossible to predict which specific dog may cause allergic reactions until you spend time around or in contact with a particular dog yourself.
Dachshunds are often seen as a small breed that adore to eat. They are known for being quite food driven and can easily become overweight. For that reason, it is important to feed them a nutritious and balanced diet. Dachshunds should be kept on a consistent diet of high-quality, dry, commercial dog food that is formulated for their age and activity level. Their diets should include protein sources such as chicken, fish, and eggs with a mix of carbohydrates, like grains, vegetables, and potatoes.
Preparing for a new Dachshund can be an exciting and daunting task. To get started, first make sure you have all the necessary supplies needed to care for your new puppy. Set up their living space with a comfortable bed, crate, and toys. Additionally, you should talk to your veterinarian about vaccinations, spaying or neutering, and important health topics like parasites and nutrition. Next, plan training and socialization activities using positive reinforcement techniques. These will help your pup adjust to their new home and become a responsible pet.
Dachshunds may be considered 'big dogs' in comparison to miniature breeds, but compared to other popular breeds they are nevertheless quite small. Generally, Dachshunds are considered to be small to medium-sized dogs, usually weighing no more than about 32 pounds and standing around a foot or so tall. While their stature may be considered petite compared to other breeds, they still can make good family dogs with proper care and training.
Dachshunds need regular physical activity to maintain good physical and mental health. Exercise should be tailored to your dog's age and current condition, as well as any breed-specific health problems. Generally speaking, though, adults should engage in at least one hour of exercise per day, divided into multiple sessions if necessary. Exercise should include plenty of walking or running, but activities, such as swimming or playing fetch, can also be beneficial as they help to develop muscle groups. Additionally, activities, such as agility classes, can help to keep their minds as active as their bodies.
Dachshunds are typically outgoing and friendly, so they get along with most animals if they are socialized and trained properly when they are young. With patience and consistency, many Dachshunds can live peacefully with cats, birds, and even smaller dogs. It's important to introduce them to new animals in a gradual and carefully controlled manner and to keep an eye on them at all times while they are living together to ensure they continue to coexist peacefully.
Training a Dachshund begins with understanding the breed's natural instinct for hunting. Consistent, positive reinforcement is the best way to train a Dachshund for obedience, as they tend to respond well to treats and praise. Begin with simple commands such as "sit," "come," and "stay." Have plenty of treats on hand to reward them for good behavior. When they obey your command, use a gentle voice to encourage the behavior. Make sure to keep your training sessions short to avoid boredom and provide plenty of time for play breaks.
