Questions & Answers
A Dachshund is a small, long-bodied, short-legged dog of the hound family. They come in a variety of colors, from smooth reddish-brown to wire haired gray. They were first bred to hunt badgers and have since become popular family pets. Dachshunds are beloved for their loyal and mischievous personalities, and often referred to as "weiner" or "sausage" dogs due to their unique shape. Dachshunds may be small but they have plenty of energy and require regular exercise and playtime.
Dachshunds are not hypoallergenic, which means they do not produce fewer allergens than other breeds. These dogs produce not only dander but also saliva, which can contain allergens that may trigger an allergic reaction. That being said, some people are still able to handle Dachshunds without suffering any noticeable allergy symptoms. Whether you have a Dachshund in your family or are considering becoming a Dachshund owner, it is always best to spend some time around one of these feisty little dogs before making a commitment.
Dachshunds, commonly referred to as wiener or sausage dogs, require a well-balanced diet with plenty of healthy and nutritious food. The best foods to give a dachshund are high quality, meat-based dry dog food, as well as natural foods such as boiled meats, vegetables, cooked eggs, and rawhide. Make sure to avoid beef, liver, pork, and fish as these can sometimes upset a dachshund's stomach.
Before getting a Dachshund, it is important to purchase some essentials to ensure that you are providing everything your pup needs. A collar and leash that fit properly and can be adjusted as your pet grows is a must-have, as is a comfortable bed and high-quality food. You should also consider buying toys to keep your Dachshund entertained, as well as grooming supplies for keeping your pup's coat healthy and free of debris.
While Dachshunds don't have the same body mass as many of the larger dog breeds, they are still classified as a medium-sized dog by the American Kennel Club (AKC). That being said, many people consider Dachshunds to be on the smaller side within the group of medium size dogs. Generally speaking, Dachshunds weigh in between 16 and 40 pounds. Though they may look small, Dachshunds are known for their energetic, lively spirit.
As a general rule, a Dachshund should have a minimum of 30 minutes of physical activity a day. Of these 30 minutes, 10 minutes should come from a walk outside. Depending on the age and size of your Dachshund, this walk should be between 10 and 20 minutes in length. Additionally, any vigorous playtime between you and your Dachshund counts towards the remaining 20 minutes. If you can't provide these 30 minutes of physical activity daily, an exercise wheel or K9FITbed can provide an effective substitute.
Generally speaking, Dachshunds can get along with other pets depending on the individual temperament and level of socialization. Some Dachshunds can thrive in multi-pet environments, while others may struggle to adjust to the presence of another pet in the home. Socialization is key as Dachshunds can be quite territorial – early and frequent exposure to other pets and animals will help them to become more comfortable and open to making friends with their furry family members. With appropriate introductions and management, most Dachshunds are capable of living harmoniously with other pets.
Training a Dachshund is similar to training other types of dogs with some minor variations. The most important thing is to remain consistent and to start teaching obedience commands early on. It is also helpful to use positive reinforcement such as treats or affection to reward your pup for good behavior. It's best to start off by teaching basic commands like "sit", "down" and "stay" and then gradually increasing the difficulty of the commands you offer. When training, it's important to remain patient and not be too hard on your pup.
