Questions & Answers
Dachshunds, commonly known as wiener dogs, are a lovable and intelligent breed of dog. Some fun facts about them include their impressive ability to fit into tight spaces, their famously long bodies, and the varied colors and coat patterns they come in. They also have a long lifespan, often living up to 15 years or more. Although they are small, they are brave and will often stand up to much larger breeds if threatened. Dachshunds have an incredibly strong sense of smell, making them excellent watchdogs as well as excellent tracking and hunting partners.
Managing allergies with Dachshunds can be a challenge, especially when they have long flowing coats that tend to hold onto dander and dust particles. To reduce the allergen exposure, it's imperative to groom your Dachshund regularly. Keeping the coat short and brushing the fur thoroughly and often can help reduce dander in your home. It’s also important to vacuum your home regularly, using a high-efficiency particle air filter to capture airborne allergens.
Dachshunds should not be fed chocolate, coffee, tea, or raisins due to their high levels of theobromine, which is toxic to them. Additionally, due to their sensitive stomachs, it is important to avoid feeding them onions, garlic, macadamia nuts, grapes, and avocado, as these foods can lead to digestive issues. Furthermore, bone-in foods like chicken or turkey necks can be hazardous to a Dachshund's dental health, and sugary treats can potentially promote tooth decay and lead to weight gain.
Preparing for a new Dachshund can be an exciting but also overwhelming experience. To ensure that you and your pup have the best experience possible, it is important to prepare. First, research Dachshunds to understand their needs and behaviors. Next, it is helpful to create a comfortable, safe environment for them. Make sure your home is stocked with all the necessary items, like dog crates, food, treats, toys and supplies.
Yes, Dachshunds are typically considered small dogs. They are distinguished by their short legs which give them a unique, elongated body shape. They range in size from toy, miniature, to standard. Most standards are 8-9 inches tall and weigh between 16-32 pounds, while miniatures are 5-6 inches tall and weigh 11-16 pounds. Toys are 4-5 inches tall and weigh 4-9 pounds.
Dachshunds may have varying levels of comfort with swimming. Generally, these dogs are excellent swimmers due to their robust build and short, compact legs. But this does not necessarily mean that all Dachshunds love swimming. It is important to introduce any dog, but particularly small breeds like the Dachshund, to the water gradually and safely. Always make sure that the water is free from any sharp objects and/or currents. Keeping your little four-legged friend safe should be your first priority.
Yes, Dachshunds can make wonderful family companions and can be very good with kids. As long as they are socialized properly and receive the right amount of attention, they can be very well mannered and gentle pets. It's important to note that Dachshunds can have a stubborn streak; however, with consistent training and structure, they can be quite gentle and loving with children. Additionally, these dogs require plenty of exercise, so playing and going on family walks with them can further strengthen a relationship between the pet and your children.
Training a Dachshund can be a rewarding experience; however, it takes time and patience to teach a Dachshund acceptable behaviors. Dachshunds are known to be quite independent and can have an assertive personality. With consistent training, a Dachshund can learn basic commands such as sit, stay, come, and heel. Positive reinforcement, such as treats and praise, are effective ways to help the Dachshund learn. Knowing which types of reinforcement works best for the individual Dachshund is important and patience is key.
