Questions & Answers
Dachshunds are classified as a Hound Group dog breed, according to the American Kennel Club. The Dachshund is a sturdy little hound dog that comes in two sizes: standard and miniature. They are described as being playful and spunky, with an elongated body, big ears and short legs that make them both striking and unique. Dachshunds come in a variety of coat types, colorations and patterns, making them some of the most appealing of all the hounds.
No, Dachshunds are not hypoallergenic. It is a common misconception that certain dog breeds do not cause allergies. All dogs have dander and saliva that can trigger an allergic reaction, so even the most hypoallergenic dogs can still cause an allergic reaction in some people. Dachshunds—also known as wiener dogs—have a short coat that doesn't require a lot of grooming, but they have a tendency to produce more dander than other breeds which can be an irritant to anyone with allergies.
NutriSource Small & Mini Breed Dry Dog Food is an excellent choice for Dachshunds as it is specially formulated to provide the proper nutrient balance necessary for smaller breed dogs. It contains enhanced levels of omega-3 fatty acids to promote healthy skin and coat, as well as glucosamine for healthy joints. Its smaller kibble size is easier to digest and pet parents appreciate that it is free of artificial colors and GMOs. It is made with quality proteins and low glycemic carbs to help maintain proper body weight, and it is formulated to meet AAFCO standards for adult maintenance.
Becoming the best puppy parent for your Dachshund is all about providing them with plenty of love and attention, understanding their unique needs, and providing them with the exercise, care and stimulation they require. Develop a routine that includes regular mealtimes, daily walks and playtime, and be sure to brush their coats and check over their ears and other body parts on a weekly basis. It's also important to be consistent and set rules that your pet can count on. Give lots of positive reinforcement when they do something right and provide rewards to help encourage good behavior.
Dachshunds are small dogs by size, however, they are known for their larger-than-life personalities. They are categorized as small to medium-sized dogs, and while their size is not typically considered 'big' by most standards, their barks and energy often make them seem big. Dachshunds are loyal and independent, and their larger-than-life personalities match that of a big dog, despite their actual size. They are known to be fiercely protective of their owners, even though smaller in size.
While it is possible to take your Dachshund running, it is important to understand their breed-specific traits. It is not advisable to take your Dachshund running for long distances and at high speeds due to the fact that they often have short legs and long backs. With their short legs, Dachshunds cannot keep up with the longer strides of other breeds and may end up becoming exhausted or suffering from joint and disc damage. However, when taken on shorter, slower paced runs at a comfortable pace, a Dachshund can have a safe and enjoyable running experience.
Generally, Dachshunds usually get along with other pets if they are properly socialized. It's important to introduce them to other animals, such as cats and small mammals, at a young age. Socializing them early can help them get used to the presence of other animals. Additionally, it's also important to show them routine, consistent care so they become more familiar with their new environment. With time and patience, they'll be more likely to welcome other pets into their lives.
Training a Dachshund requires patience and an understanding of their natural personalities. The most successful approach is positive reinforcement. Start by teaching basic commands like sit, stay, and come. Rewarding desired behaviors with treats or praise will help your pup to understand what you want more quickly. When correcting unwanted behaviors, it's important to do so calmly and without punishment, as harsh correction will only lead to fear or aggression in the long run. Additionally, regular exercise should help with obedience training and ensure that your pup has adequate physical stimulation for optimal behavior.
