Questions & Answers
Dachshunds are a unique breed of dog belonging to the Hound Group within the American Kennel Club's classes of dog. It is a muscular, short-legged, scent hound which was originally bred to sniff out and trail badgers and other small animals. The Dachshund's long and sleek body is an adaptation to this original purpose, and today it is praised as being a very loyal and amusing companion. Its typical colorings range from smooth and wire-haired variations in various shades of red/brown, though it can also come in black and tan.
Generally speaking, Dachshunds do not cause severe reactions or allergies. However, it is still possible to be allergic to them, as you can be allergic to any type of animal. If you have had allergic reactions to other animals or are concerned about potential allergies with a Dachshund, it is best to consult a healthcare professional before bringing one into your home. Consider scheduling an appointment to have an allergy skin test done, which may help to identify any potential allergies you may have to Dachshunds prior to purchasing or adopting one.
Dachshunds come in both standard and miniature sizes, so the specific type of food that you give your pet will depend on their size and activity level. Generally speaking, it's best to feed your Dachshund a high-quality dry kibble that is designed specifically for small breed dogs. Look for a diet with real meat as the first ingredient and that is free of fillers and by-products for the most nutritious meal. Complement the dry kibble with fresh fruits, vegetables, and small amounts of lean meats as the occasional treat.
One of the best ways to prepare your home for a new Dachshund is to do everything you can to make the environment as safe and comfortable as possible. First and foremost, make sure to doggy-proof all areas of your home with the proper safety measures such as baby gates, keeping toxic items out of reach, cover electrical sockets, and provide a safe, warm bed or kennel.
Dachshunds come in three different sizes-standard, miniature, and kaninchen (German for “rabbit-sized”). The standard size has a height of 8-9 inches at the shoulder and typically weighs between 16 and 32 pounds. The miniature size has a height of 5-6 inches and weighs up to 11 pounds. The kaninchen size has a height of 4-5 inches and weighs up to 9 pounds.
The amount of time you should dedicate to walking your Dachshund inevitably depends on the individual dog’s needs and activity levels. Generally speaking, most trainers suggest that Dachshunds be walked for 30-60 minutes per day, with breaks in between playtime or activities. However, the frequency and intensity of the physical activity should be tailored to the individual pup, depending on age, health, and energy levels.
Yes, Dachshunds are suitable for first-time owners! Dachshunds, often referred to as "Wiener Dogs," are loving and loyal companions. They are generally curious, lively, and can be fairly easy to train with consistency. Of course, different breeds have different needs, so it's important for prospective owners to do their research and make sure their lifestyle and abilities can meet those needs. Good care for Dachshunds will include providing them with daily exercise, positive reinforcement training, and plenty of TLC.
Training a Dachshund is fun and rewarding, but it also requires patience and dedication. Start by establishing yourself as the leader by giving commands in a clear, confident voice and rewarding obedience with positive reinforcement. Use treats during training, but occasionally mix in verbal commands like 'good,'"Yes," and "Well done." Also be sure to correct any unruly behavior immediately, so your pup learns to respect boundaries. Additionally, avoid getting into a power struggle with your Dachshund during training -instead, redirect their attention with another task or command.
