Questions & Answers
Dachshunds have a long and interesting history. This breed originated in Germany more than 300 years ago and were bred for hunting badgers and other small prey. They are known for their fearless attitude and strong loyalty to their human companions. They come in three different varieties, including the longhaired, wirehaired, and smooth-haired. Dachshunds are also known for their curious and mischievous nature, so be sure to give them lots of attention and activity! They're also known for their quirky physical appearance, with short legs and long bodies.
Dachshunds are not hypoallergenic dogs. While they do not shed a large amount of fur, Dachshunds typically do shed some hair and dander, which is known to trigger allergies in those who are sensitive. Though some people with allergies may not be strongly affected by a Dachshund, it is always best to test any pet prior to bringing it into the home and keeping it near family members who are allergy-prone.
Yes, Dachshunds have some special dietary needs that should be taken into account when planning a nutritional program for them. Due to their elongated spine and their size, lean protein should be the main component of their diet, as it allows them to maintain muscle mass for support. Additionally, they require healthy fats (like omega-3 fatty acids found in fish oil) for vital organ health and increased energy levels.
Before getting your new Dachshund, you should take some time to prepare your home. Start by making sure there are no small objects or decorative items around that could be potentially hazardous to your pup. Secure any cords and wires that are nearby – puppies can get tangled in them. Once you make sure your home is safe, think about the type of environment you want your pup to explore. Put down a comfortable bed in a spot they can access easily and won’t be disturbed by other family members or pets.
The adult size of your Dachshund puppy is dependent on a number of features such as the sex of the Dachshund puppy, its particular breed, and diet. Typically, a fully-grown Dachshund will range in height from 8 to 9 inches with larger Dachshunds closer to the 9 inch range and smaller Dachshunds closer to 8 inches at the shoulder. They will typically have a body length of around 12 to 16 inches.
While Dachshunds are more known for their above-ground activities, they actually do enjoy taking a dip in the pool or the lake. Some are even brave enough to take a dive! However, before allowing your Dachshund to swim, make sure you to introduce them to the water gradually. It is important to make sure they feel comfortable and secure in the water. Additionally, avoid any locations with strong currents, high waves, or difficult entry and exit points, as these can be dangerous for the breed.
Generally, Dachshunds are quite friendly and outgoing which makes them good candidates for getting along well with other pets. With appropriate socialization and training, most Dachshunds do well in multi-pet households as they tend to get along well with cats and other moderate-sized to smaller dogs. It is imperative to watch their interactions, however, to ensure that all parties are safe. If well-socialized early on, Dachshunds are generally very accepting and friendly towards other pets — much like their loving and loyal natures towards their pet parents.
Training a Dachshund can be relatively easy, depending on the individual temperament of the dog, the amount of time you are able to devote to training and what type of training you are attempting to accomplish. If you are consistent, patient, and use positive reinforcements (such as treats and verbal praise) you will likely be successful in teaching a Dachshund basics like sitting, staying, playing fetch, and coming when called.
