Questions & Answers
Dachshunds are considered a hound breed of dog. They are known for their long, distinct shape and unique personality. Their unique shape and personality mean that they make great lap dogs and awesome companions. Dachshunds come in two sizes: standard and miniature. They have short legs and a longer body, making them strong and intense hunters. At any size, these dogs have personality and character that make them great family pets. Originally bred in Germany, they are considered intelligent and loyal with a lot of energy.
Managing allergies with Dachshunds requires planning, diligence, and pet-specific knowledge. One of the most basic strategies for managing allergies is to minimize allergen exposure. This can be achieved by avoiding areas or situations that you know will have a lot of dander or other allergens, such as petting zoos. Additionally, keeping your pet well-groomed and bathed can help to reduce allergen exposure as well as promote general hygiene.
Dachshunds require a balanced diet to sustain their active lifestyle while avoiding any potential health issues. For this reason, it's best to feed them a nutrient-rich, high-quality dry dog food formulated for their size and breed. The food should contain the recommended portions of carbohydrates, proteins, fats and fibers. Additionally, it's best to avoid offering table scraps or human snacks as these may not contain the proper nutritional value that a dog needs to remain healthy.
To prepare your home for your new Dachshund, the first step is to make sure all potential dangers have been eliminated. Consider doing a thorough check of all areas of your home and yard for anything small enough that could accidentally be ingested, along with any sharp edges, corners, or objects that could cause injury. Make sure there are no plants that are poisonous to dogs or accessible to your pet. Create an area for your Dachshund to sleep, providing a comfortable bed or crate. Consider placing a few toys or chews in the area for the dog to explore upon arrival.
Dachshunds come in a variety of sizes and can range from 8 pounds to 32 pounds. Miniature dachshunds can weigh anywhere from 4-11 pounds and are about 8-9 inches at the shoulder. The Standard size can weigh between 16-32 pounds and measure between 11-15 inches at the shoulder. The so-called "Tweenie" size weighs between 12-16 pounds and measures between 10-14 inches at the shoulder. Lastly, the Toy size can weigh between 4-8 pounds and stand at 6-7 inches at the shoulder.
Absolutely! Taking your Dachshund running is an excellent way to keep them active and can help ensure a happy and healthy lifestyle. Dachshunds often enjoy high-energy activities such as running, so it can be beneficial to take them with you or around the neighborhood. Be sure to adjust the speed or distance of your run to your pet’s age and abilities on a given day, as they may need more or less exercise than you. Remember to keep plenty of water on hand for human and pooch alike.
Absolutely! Dachshunds are friendly and loyal dogs, making them great companions for children. They are gentle and fun-loving, so they usually get along well with kids and enjoy playing with them. Dachshunds can be protective of their family members, including the kids in their home, making them an excellent choice for families with children. However, Dachshunds can also have a tendency to be bossy, so they must be taught how to act calmly and behave appropriately with children.
While it is impossible to accurately answer how many minutes per day should be dedicated to the training of Dachshunds, a recommended amount is 10 to 15 minutes. That may not seem like much, but dogs of this breed can learn quickly and they don't require long training sessions. It is, however, important to remain consistent with the training regime and stick to it. Training sessions should be scheduled regularly, at least twice a day if possible. The frequency and duration may vary depending on the individual dog and should be adjusted accordingly.
