Questions & Answers
Dachshunds are a popular breed of dogs known for their small size and unique shape. They are intelligent, independent, and alert and make fantastic family pets. Dachshunds are also known for their tenacity and strong hunting instincts. The breed can adapt to living indoors or outdoors depending on their owner's lifestyle. As a breed, they require regular exercise, like any other dog, and are known for being low-maintenance when it comes to grooming.
Dachshunds typically do not cause allergies in humans. However, there are some things to consider that may affect whether a person will be allergic to the breed. Some people have a hereditary predisposition to allergies and may be more likely to show symptoms with any breed of dog. Additionally, since the breed is known to shed, individuals may be more prone to allergies from the dander that gets in their system. To be sure, individuals should consult their health care provider and if found to have allergies, pet their dachshund from a distance.
Dachshunds are an active breed and require a balanced diet to keep them healthy. Although their diet should include proteins (such as beef or chicken) for energy and carbohydrates (such as brown rice or quinoa) for staying full, they should also have plenty of healthy fats for healthy coats, brain and heart development. To promote overall cardiovascular health, look for a high quality fish oil supplement added to their meals. Other dietary supplements like probiotics can also assist with their digestive health.
Yes, Dachshunds have some special requirements that their owners should be aware of. They generally have muscular and skeletal issues due to their long backs, so it’s important to limit their high-impact activities to keep them healthy. Dachshunds can also be prone to obesity, so owners should closely monitor the amount of food they’re given. These little dogs also have a tendency toward stubbornness, so proper training is essential. It will help make them better behaved as well as strengthen the bond between dog and owner.
Dachshunds are generally classified as small dogs, although there is some debate in regards to whether or not they should be considered "big dogs". Some argue that as they are longer than they are tall, by weight, they can be just as big as any other larger breed of dog. Ultimately, their size is relative to their breed and can range from anywhere between 4-32 pounds, although the average Dachshund is typically considered to be on the larger side of the small range.
Dachshunds are active and energetic little dogs which require regular exercise to maintain proper health. Very generally, Dachshunds should get at least 30 minutes of exercise each day, spread out over two or more brief sessions. During these sessions, activities can range from a brisk walk around the block or playtime in the park, to games of fetch in the yard. It's important to ensure that your Dachshund is not over-exercising to prevent injury and exhaustion, so your best bet is to tailor the exercise to your pup's current age and energy level.
Generally, Dachshunds are an excellent choice for a family dog. Their small size makes them well-suited to homes of all sizes, and their friendly, loyal nature makes them excellent additions to the family. Dachshunds are also incredibly intelligent, so they easily pick up on training and commands. Not only do they form strong relationships with their owners, but they get along beautifully with children, making them an ideal companion pet for the whole family. Dachshunds have an enthusiastic and playful attitude that is sure to bring plenty of joy and entertainment to any home.
Training a Dachshund can be rewarding but it can also be difficult. To have a well-mannered, responsive pup it's best to start training your Dachshund as early as possible using positive reinforcement like rewards and verbal praise. While teaching a Dachshund obedience commands, start with something basic like “sit” and be consistent by repeating the command until pup understands. Once pup has learned a command, practice it multiple times in different environments to ensure understanding.
