Questions & Answers
A Dachshund, commonly referred to as a wiener dog, is a breed of a small dog that has a long body, short legs, and a lively and friendly personality. The name Dachshund comes from the German language meaning "badger dog," referring to their original purpose of hunting badgers. They are known for being relatively low maintenance when it comes to grooming and exercise; the average Dachshund requires only a brief walk and a little brushing. However, due to their long spine and short legs, Dachshunds can be prone to back issues.
No, Dachshunds are not hypoallergenic. This means that individuals who are prone to allergies may experience certain reactions to the breed, including asthmatic symptoms, itchy and water eyes, and sneezing. For those who are particularly sensitive, it is advisable to avoid contact or even being in the same room as a Dachshund to prevent any reactions. If you want to prevent any reactions, always keep the breed groomed regularly and bathed occasionally to remove dander and hairs that may cause allergies.
Dachshunds should not be fed anything containing chocolate, onions, garlic, grapes, or raisins, as these foods can prove to be toxic. Additionally, Dachshunds should not be fed anything with artificial sweeteners, such as Xylitol, as this can lead to liver failure. It is also important to avoid feeding Dachshunds bones, as they could choke or splinter and cause injury.
Before getting a Dachshund, it's important to purchase a few essentials. Make sure you have a sturdy collar and leash. A wire crate or kennel is essential to help with the transition of the pup being in a new home. Be sure to also purchase several different types of toys, as Dachshunds can be quite active and need something to do. Last, but not least, make sure to get the proper grooming supplies such as a wire brush and nail clippers.
Determining the exact size of a Dachshund puppy can be difficult but, at full maturity, a Dachshund usually weighs between 16 to 32 pounds, depending on the variety, and is 8 to 9 inches in height at the shoulder. To get a more exact size estimate at full maturity, take into consideration the average size of its parents by looking at the weights listed on their individual pedigree certificates. Additionally, you may talk with the breeder about the size the individuals in the past litter have grown to be.
Generally Dachshunds do not naturally enjoy swimming, but some like taking a dip in the pool or in shallow water. Dachshunds often dislike swimming because of their long bodies and short legs, which make it difficult to propel themselves through the water. Forcing a Dachshund to swim could also create anxiety for the dog, so it should not be encouraged. Although they aren't natural swimmers, with proper training and guidance, most Dachshunds can be taught to swim, especially if it is done in a positive and patient manner.
Dachshunds can be a great choice for first-time owners. They are generally very loyal and loving, easy to train, and low-maintenance. They are a small breed, so they don't need a huge living area, yet they are fairly active and require regular walks. They may be stubborn at times, so first-time owners need to understand how to provide positive reinforcement. Dachshunds may suffer from a few health problems, so regular vet check-ups and preventative measures are essential.
Dachshunds are loyal, clever, and highly intuitive dogs with a reputation for being mischievous. With the right training and guidance, they can be quite intelligent and respond very well to human cues. With that being said, they can generally learn a wider variety of commands and skills than the average dog. Dachshunds are problem solvers, always looking for a way to get the things they want. They can be surprisingly resourceful and can even develop ad-hoc strategies to get around tricky tasks.
