Questions & Answers
Dachshunds are a type of hound dog that are small, short-legged, and long-bodied. They are known to be very friendly and playful; these are traits that help them make wonderful companion pets. Even though Dachshunds have a short stature, they are quite robust and energetic. Dachshunds come in two varieties: the short-haired and the long-haired. They also come in three sizes: standard, mini, and toy.
No, Dachshunds are not hypoallergenic. While some do boast of having less dander, this cannot be taken for granted and can vary from one individual to the next. Allergens are often found in the dead skin cells (dander) and saliva of dogs, and as such, there is no such thing as a completely hypoallergenic breed. People who are allergic to animals might find that they are not as sensitive to some breeds as they are to others.
Dachshunds may be relatively small, but they should still be on a healthy diet. It's important to avoid the following foods: human foods such as chocolate or coffee, processed foods such as chips, fried foods such as French fries, bones as they can splinter and choke your Dachshund, rawhide chews, table scraps, nuts, grapes, raisins, sugary foods, and seeds.
Yes, Dachshunds have special requirements that potential owners should be aware of. While some special breed-specific needs may not apply to every individual Dachshund, prospective owners should familiarize themselves with these common characteristics in order to properly care for the dog. Dachshunds are a smaller breed, and as such they should not have excessive amounts of exercise or pressure on their spines; they may require more frequent trips to the veterinarian for check ups due to the higher likelihood of spinal conditions.
The size of your Dachshund puppy will depend on the breed you choose and the lineage of its parents. Generally, a Dachshund puppy will grow to an average of 8-9 inches tall at the shoulders and weigh between 16 and 32 pounds when fully grown. However, some Dachshunds may be even smaller or larger depending on the type of dog.
Absolutely! Most Dachshunds have plenty of energy to enjoy a run, however, it's important to always consult your vet first to make sure it's the best thing for your canine companion. You'll also want to start slow and gradually increase how long and fast you go. As Dachshunds have long backs, running can be hard on their delicate spines, so it's important to keep an eye out for signs of fatigue.
Dachshunds are often an excellent choice for families with children of all ages. This breed has an active mind, loves to play, is loyal and perform well under training. In fact, Dachshunds can even be taught the basic commands like “sit,” “stay,” “come,” and “no.” This breed can also make an excellent watchdog as they are naturally alert and bark whenever someone approaches their home. They can also be quite loving towards adults and children and get along with other pets with proper socialization.
Training Dachshunds requires a commitment of time and dedication. The exact amount of minutes per day depends on the individual dog, their experience and the type of training you are doing. Generally speaking, a minimum of 30 minutes per day is recommended in order for the training to be effective. It is important to keep training sessions short, at about 10 minutes for puppies and 15 minutes for adults, and to always keep the training fun and positive by offering rewards after successful sessions.
