Questions & Answers
A Dachshund is a short-legged, long-bodied hound dog that originated in Germany. Generally known for being good-natured, brave, and devoted to their owners, Dachshunds offer a range of coat colors and sizes. The breed comes in a standard, miniature or toy size, with straight, wirehaired or long-haired coats.
Although Dachshunds are a relatively low-shedding breed, they are unfortunately not hypoallergenic. This means that people with dog allergies may still experience symptoms when exposed to these breeds. Even if just their fur or hair is present, dogs can still trigger an allergenic response in some people due to the presence of proteins found in saliva, dander, and urine. To reduce allergen concentration, experts advise people with allergies to bathe and groom their pets more regularly, or to invest in air filters and vacuum cleaners with high efficiency.
Finding the best dog food for your Dachshund will depend on your individual pet's needs. It's important to look for a dog food with high-quality proteins, carbohydrates, and fatty acids that are specifically designed for their breed size, activity level, and age. You might also want to look for a food containing glucosamine and chondroitin for joint health, and carefully read the product's labels for values like fiber, sodium, and fat content. Additionally, consult your veterinarian for a food recommendation based on your pet's needs.
Making sure your home is safe and comfortable for your new Dachshund is an important task! Create a confined space where your pup can safely explore, like a play pen or designated crate with all their bedding, toys, and food inside. Check all outdoor spaces, like the backyard, for any potential hazards like holes, fencing, and even poisonous plants. Make sure any outdoor entrances are secured with gates or doors. Consider investing in pet-proofing products, like a guard for fireplaces and covers and clips for any exposed electrical cords.
Dachshunds typically come in two sizes: standard and miniature. Standard Dachshunds are typically 16-32 pounds and can reach up to 9 inches at the shoulder, while Miniature Dachshunds are generally 8-11 pounds and stand just 5-6 inches tall at the shoulder. Although commonly referred to as one breed, there are six varieties of Dachshund recognized by the American Kennel Club: smooth-haired, long-haired, wirehaired, longhaired, shorthaired, and miniature.
Generally speaking, Dachshunds should get at least 30 minutes of exercise per day. This can be in the form of walks, playtime, or any other physical activities. However, short bursts of high-energy exercise is best to go with the Dachshund’s natural energy and avoid over-exerting them. If possible, it is recommended that you take your Dachshund on two short walks daily, or one long walk—ideally about 20 minutes in length for each walk—to provide them with the necessary physical and mental stimulation.
Dachshunds can make great first-time pets for responsible owners. These small dogs are versatile breeders and can fit into many different types of households. Owners just need to be aware of their restless and active nature and be prepared to meet their need for regular exercise. With proper socialization, potty training, and sufficient enrichment (including activities, walks, and playtime with their owners), Dachshunds can be an excellent addition to any family.
Dachshunds have long been considered to be intelligent and independent dogs. They have a lively spirit and are quite easy to train. They have a strong drive to learn and establish challenges, and when presented with the right techniques, can quickly understand what is asked of them. This intelligence allows them to retain and apply newly acquired commands quickly and accurately. They can also differentiate between their environment and recognize when they are being observed, making them great companion dogs that are well suited for any home.
