Questions & Answers
A Dachshund is a long and low-legged breed of hound originally bred to hunt badgers and rabbits. The breed is recognized by the American Kennel Club as two varieties of dachshund, one with a smooth coat, and the other with a wire-haired coat. Dachshunds have been classified by the AKC as one of the most popular family companions in the USA. This breed's lively, playful nature, and eagerness to please its owners makes it a great choice for a loving pet.
The answer to the question of whether Dachshunds will cause a person to have allergies depends on the individual. Every human body is different and reacts to things differently. Some people might find that they are allergic to Dachshunds, while others may not. It may be helpful to spend time around a Dachshund before purchasing one to see if any allergies appear. Allergies from pet dander, saliva, or urine can develop over time. Additionally, it may be recommended to have one's home tested for allergy-causing substances.
Dachshunds, like all dogs, should not be given food containing grapes, raisins or anything related to them as it can lead to kidney failure. Likewise, never feed your Dachshund onion, garlic, chocolate or alcohol as these could all lead to serious health issues, including death. Furthermore, foods high in fat, including rawhide, bacon, hot dogs and certain kinds of cheese should be avoided as they can cause pancreatitis.
Before getting a Dachshund, it is essential to purchase basics like a collar, leash, bedding, bowls for food and water, a crate, puppy pads, chew toys, and treats. Additionally, it is important to obtain safety items like a pet gate, pet playpen, and pet stairs. Supplies that can help manage your dog's coat, such as a coat brush, scissors, and shampoos, will be needed for routine grooming. To provide interactive play and exercise, interactive toys and balls can be used.
The size of your Dachshund puppy will depend on various factors, such as gender, health, diet, and genetics. Generally, adult Dachshunds range from 8-9 inches in height at the shoulder and 8-32 pounds. As a puppy, your pup may start out larger or smaller than the adult size it will reach, but its size should stabilize and reach its adult size between 6-12 months. To ensure your pup is growing at the right rate, take it for regular visits to your veterinarian to ensure it is getting proper nutrition and the best care.
Yes, Dachshunds are active dogs. They were originally bred to hunt badgers, so they are quite capable of running and frequently exhibit quick bursts of energy. They are also known for their ability to be persistent in pursuit of whatever they have focused on. Dachshunds often express themselves through barking and running around, which can prove to be quite entertaining and amusing for their owners. Because of their active nature, they tend to need about an hour of exercise daily to stay healthy and happy.
Dachshunds are typically great for families with kids. Their friendly personalities and loving nature make them great family pets, as long as they receive the necessary socialization and training. They have endless energy and often make great playmates for children. With early socialization, a Dachshund can learn the difference between acceptable and unacceptable behavior when it comes to children and their belongings. They will bond closely with their owners, especially if raised with kids, and form a strong bond with them.
How much time to spend training your Dachshund will depend on their age, experience level, and the tasks you're training them to do. Generally, young puppies should receive between 10-20 minutes of instruction per day, while more experienced dogs may need up to an hour of training time. You should start off slowly and adjust the amount of time spent on training as your Dachshund's abilities improve. When introducing new topics, you may want to work on them for 5-10 minutes once or twice a day.
