Questions & Answers
Dachshunds, also known as 'Doxies', 'Weiner Dogs' and 'Sausage Dogs', are quite the interesting little dogs! Known for their bold, lively personalities, Dachshunds are loyal and loving companions to people. Their elongated bodies and short legs make them fairly easy to recognize and they have become increasingly popular pets over the past few decades. Fun facts about Dachshunds include that they come in two coat varieties, short or long-haired, as well as three size varieties, standard, mini and kaninchen.
Managing allergies with a Dachshund may seem like a challenge yet there are some steps you can take to reduce allergic reactions. First, be sure to brush your Dachshund often to reduce their dander and loose fur, as dander and pet hair are a major cause of allergies. Second, vacuum your home regularly, as this will help alleviate the dust and dander that accumulates. Third, use dust mite covers on your beds and other soft furnishings. Fourth, keep your Dachshund out of the bedroom, as many allergens accumulate in the bedroom.
The best dog food for Dachshunds depends on your pup's individual needs. A high-quality dry kibble that includes protein from lean animal sources as the first ingredient is a great choice. Also, look for formulas that are specifically designed for small, active dogs with ingredients such as glucosamine and chondroitin for joint health, omega fatty acids for skin and coat health, and probiotics for digestive health.
Dachshunds are a unique breed and require a few special considerations. First, they tend to be susceptible to certain medical conditions, including skeletal and orthopedic problems, such as intervertebral disc disease. Therefore, it's important to find a reputable veterinarian and to provide regular check-ups for your Dachshund. Additionally, they require lots of love, affection and exercise Dachshunds need plenty of play time as well as adequate walks for proper physical and mental stimulation.
The size of your Dachshund puppy will depend on the breed of Dachshund and its gender. Standard-size Dachshunds usually range from 8 to 9 inches tall and 11 to 32 pounds, while miniature versions of the breed generally reach heights between 5 and 6 inches and weigh no more than 11 pounds. However, bear in mind that sizes can vary greatly. It’s always best to work with a reputable breeder and ask to meet the puppy's parents — the puppy’s size will likely fall somewhere in the middle of the parents’ sizes.
Dachshunds are a highly energetic breed that require a proper balance of physical and mental exercise. To keep a Dachshund healthy, it's important to devote a portion of your day to providing active play. A walk of 30 minutes each day is a sufficient amount of exercise, however, if they can be taken out multiple times, each walk lasting at least 10 minutes, that would be ideal.
Dachshunds can make fantastic companions for children! With their friendly, outgoing personalities, Dachshunds can be excellent playmates for kids of all ages. As with any breed, it’s important to manage a Dachshund’s energy level and proper socialization to ensure that these lively dogs develop into responsible family members. Proper introduction and supervision is always important when introducing any pet into a home with kids, but when handled with care and patience, Dachshunds will generally bond closely with any family that loves them.
Training a Dachshund can be a rewarding experience. However, it is important to note that like any dog, Dachshunds can be stubborn and will benefit from consistent training. Dachshunds do require more maintenance than other breeds, as their stubby legs mean they can be more difficult to house train. Additionally, they are known for being vocal, which needs to be addressed. As far as obedience training, Dachshunds are essentially similar to other breeds and can learn just as fast.
