Questions & Answers
Dachshunds, also known as 'sausage dogs,' are one of the most unique and beloved breeds of dog. Fun facts about this breed include that they were originally bred to hunt badgers in the 18th century and were also used to hunt foxes and even wild boar. Another fun fact is that Dachshunds come in two sizes: standard and miniature, with the standard size being 16-32 pounds and the miniature weighing in at less than 11 pounds.
Managing allergies with Dachshunds is a multi-faceted process. First, you should consult with your doctor or allergist to determine the type of allergy and the best course of action to help control it. There are a variety of approaches such as frequent baths and vacuuming of the home to reduce allergens from fur and dander. Additionally, you can use air purifiers and hypoallergenic bedding to reduce allergens.
Dachshunds are a unique breed of dog with unique nutritional needs, so it's important to provide them with the best food you can. For Dachshunds, a diet that is high in protein is recommended to help provide the energy they need to stay healthy and active. Look for high-quality kibble with plenty of animal proteins like beef, lamb, chicken, and fish. Also, watch out for unhealthy fillers like wheat and corn that can lead to deficiencies.
A Dachshund is an active and lively breed of dog, so before you bring your new pup home, it's important to take certain steps to make sure your home is a safe and enjoyable environment for your four-legged friend. Make sure your home is free of any objects that your pup could choke on or ingest. Rugs, wires, and cords should be securely tucked away. Create a space in your home just for them, like a dog crate or a bed, complete with their favorite toys. Make sure you provide plenty of areas for your pup to explore and run around outside.
Dachshunds come in two primary sizes Standard, which usually weighs between 16 and 32 pounds, and Miniature, which usually weighs 11 pounds or less. Additionally, there is a less common size, known as a Rabbit, which weighs between two and five pounds. Other than size, all Dachshunds have long, sausage-shaped bodies, floppy ears, long noses and shaggy coats; regardless of the size they are most commonly known for being loyal and determined family companions.
Depending on your dog's age and health, the amount of time you should walk your Dachshund per day varies. Generally, Dachshunds require between 30 to 45 minutes of exercise per day, including walking, running, playing, and/or training. However, younger Dachshunds may need up to an hour of activity, whereas older, more sedentary Dachshunds may do fine with as little as 20 minutes of activity. Additionally, if your pet is overweight, you should aim to extend the length of the walk.
Dachshunds are generally considered to be good companions for families and are often affectionate and loyal. As with any pet, it is crucial to properly socialize and train your Dachshund to ensure they are well-behaved when interacting with children and other family members. A well-socialized Dachshund is most likely to be comfortable around people and other animals and can make a great addition to any family. They are small-sized dogs that don't require a lot of exercise and therefore make suitable companions for both young and elderly alike.
Training a Dachshund requires patience, consistency, and positive reinforcement. Start by setting up a routine for your Dachshund, such as time for meals, walks, and play. Training should be incorporated into your daily routine and kept short and consistent. Use key words, such as 'sit', 'stay', 'no', and 'come' when communicating to your Dachshund. Give rewards for good behavior, such as treats or verbal praise. If your Dachshund has accidents indoors, ignore the behavior and ensure they have access to the outdoors.
