Questions & Answers
A Dachshund is a breed of dog originating in Germany and beloved by pet owners all over the world. Also known as a “wiener dog”, a dachshund is easily recognizable due to its short legs, long body, and distinctive silhouette. They can come in short-haired, long-haired, or wirehaired varieties and range in size from small to standard. Dachshunds are intelligent, loving, and loyal companions who thrive on the attention and companionship of their owners.
Dachshunds don't typically cause allergic reactions, but as is true with all animals, some individuals may be more susceptible to allergies. However, a 2011 study published in the International Archives of Allergy and Immunology (IACI) showed that most individuals did not have an allergic reaction when exposed to a Dachshund. If you're concerned about allergies, it may be helpful to conduct an antibody test to see if you are at risk of an allergic reaction to this breed of dog.
Dachshunds are generally a healthy breed and they don't require any special diet, but they do need to receive proper nutrition and calorie intake to maintain health and happiness. A high quality dry kibble is often the best choice for a Dachshund's diet, as it is scientifically formulated and nutritionally balanced for their size and energy levels. To ensure a balanced diet, supplement the kibble with fresh vegetables, such as steamed carrots, broccoli, green beans, and spinach; and low-calorie fruits like apples and blueberries.
Being the best puppy parent for your Dachshund starts with providing the right amount of love, exercise, and training. Ensure you give your pup plenty of exercise, walks, and playtime, as Dachshunds are active and energetic little dogs. To properly train your pup, use positive reinforcement and reward them for good behavior; withholding treats for bad behavior will be more effective and help your pup understand what's expected of them.
Dachshunds are generally considered small dogs, although they are a member of the medium-sized hound group when they are fully grown. They can range in size from eight to nine inches tall to anywhere from 11 to 32 pounds in weight depending on their stock standard. As far as small breeds go, Dachshunds are often seen as being ideal for those looking for a longer than an average dog. They also tend to have longer legs and a more elongated body than other breeds which gives them an especially lovable and unique look.
The recommended daily amount of exercise for a Dachshund is approximately 30 minutes per day. However, depending on energy levels and the age of your Dachshund, 30 minutes may not always be enough. Generally, it is best to spread out the exercise over the course of the day, such as 10 minutes of walking twice a day, or 15 minutes three times a day. If your Dachshund is a puppy, it may be best to limit walks to 10 to 15 minutes, and build up the walk length from there as your pup gets older.
Generally speaking, Dachshunds get along great with other pets in the same household. They have a great temperament that makes them the perfect pet for a family that has both cats and dogs. Dachshunds rarely display aggression and can often be found snuggling up with other animals in the home. With proper introductions and socialization, they can form strong bonds with other pets.
Dachshunds are an incredibly intelligent breed of dog. They have an amazing capacity to learn, and are known for their ability to respond quickly to their pet parents' commands. Dachshunds are clever problem-solvers who can quickly pick up routines and understand basic instructions. They have a strong sense of smell and hearing which can assist them in deducing the best way to handle situations. Dachshunds are often able to think their way through a challenging task, and use their natural agility and strength to quickly learn a new trick or task.
