Questions & Answers
Dachshunds are a breed of hound that belong to the Hound Group. Bred to flush out burrowing animals, Dachshunds have short legs, a long body and a deep chest. Their ears are long and droopy and they have an elongated muzzle which helps scent the air. Dachshunds come in three sizes: the standard, the miniature and the kaninchen. They also come in a variety of fur types including wirehaired, long-haired and short-haired.
Dachshunds are not hypoallergenic. While they may be a desirable breed for people with allergies due to their low shedding qualities, they still can provoke mild to severe allergic reactions in some people due to their coat and dander. Allergens attached to the dog's coat can spread throughout the home, particularly on furniture and bedding. Additionally, dog saliva can cause allergies. If you are considering a Dachshund, it is important to take the time to meet the dog before adoption and see if you have a reaction.
Yes, Dachshunds do have special dietary needs. As a breed, they are prone to certain health conditions that can be exacerbated by diet, such as obesity and intervertebral disc disease. It is essential that the diet of these dogs is tailored to their needs. Generally speaking, diets rich in fibre, high in protein, and low in fat are ideal for Dachshunds. As with all breeds, a Dachshund should have access to fresh water at all times, and treats should be given only in moderation.
Preparing your home for a new Dachshund can be an exciting and rewarding process! Make sure that your home is ready for your new pet before bringing them home. First, create an area that is comfortable and secure. Dogs of this breed are small, so it is important to provide a safe space with tall, sturdy walls. Make sure that all furniture and garbage bins are out of their reach. Additionally, it is important to consider the smells in your home.
Yes, Dachshunds are considered small dogs and are part of the Hound Group of breeds according to the American Kennel Club. They appear in toy, miniature and standard sizes and generally weigh between 16 and 32 pounds, so they are much smaller compared to other breeds such as Retrievers and Shepherds. Dachshunds were bred to hunt small game such as badgers, thanks to their long bodies and short legs that allowed them to dig and pursue their prey underground.
It really depends on the age and health of your Dachshund. Generally, puppies (younger than 1 year) should get about 30-60 minutes of daily exercise split into two walks. For adults (older than 1 year), aim for 30-45 minutes per day. Breaks throughout the day can also work such as a few 15-20 minute walks. Remember to always do whatever fits best for your dog and their energy level. It's important to also switch up the pace of your walk so your Dachshund gets a energetically stimulating exercise.
Dachshunds are often favored by many as ideal family pets due to their playful nature, loyalty, and loving personalities. Not only are Dachshunds lively and fun-loving pals for children, but they also make great protector and watchdog for the entire family. With their smaller size, Dachshunds tend to require minimal exercise and can fit into a family unit of any size. They get along with other animals, and their independent nature makes them relatively low-maintenance companions.
Training a Dachshund requires patience and consistency; it's important to remain firm yet positive during the process. Start with basic obedience commands such as 'sit' and 'stay', and use treats to reward successful obedience. Assuming that your Dachshund has already been house-trained, you can begin teaching commands like 'come' and 'heel'. To do this, try lure rewards and plenty of verbal encouragement. Building a foundation of basic obedience commands sets up your pup for success with more complex behaviors like recall, walk on a leash, and socialization.
