Questions & Answers
Dachshunds are members of the Hound Group of breeds. This group includes others of a similar type such as Basset Hounds, Beagles, and Foxhounds. This means that they were traditionally used for hunting. Dachshunds are particularly renowned for their expert skill at hunting small game like rabbits and badgers. They are skilled scent hounds, able to detect prey from far away. They are known for their intelligence, suffering from few health problems, and their natural hunting instincts.
Dachshunds are not especially prone to cause allergies, but like any dog, there is a chance that an individual could cause allergic reactions. The best way to determine if Dachshunds will cause you to have allergies is to either ask your doctor, an allergist, or go to an animal shelter and spend time with a Dachshund to test the reaction. Allergies caused by animals are often an immune reaction to a protein, commonly found in the dander, urine or saliva of the animal.
Yes, Dachshunds do have special dietary needs. As a small breed with a longer body complexion as compared to their length, their dietary needs differ from those of other breeds. For instance, the food should be higher in calcium, fat, and proteins so as to maintain their muscular strength and healthy state. It is best to provide a balanced and nutritionally complete meal for your Dachshund, along with occasional treats. When it comes to treats, try to opt for low calorie treats to prevent weight gain.
To prepare your home for your new Dachshund, there are a few important precautions to take. Begin by puppy-proofing your home, ensuring all hazardous materials and items are out of your pet's reach. Create a designated area for your pup to sleep, eat and play in and properly ventilate the area. If you have other pets, slowly introduce your Dachshund to them in a comfortable and stress-free environment. Also, be sure to pick up any toys, wires, or other objects that could pose a choking hazard.
Yes, Dachshunds are classified as small dogs. They generally range from 11 to 16 pounds and are considered to be small-to-medium-sized in comparison to other breeds. Dachshunds are known for their long bodies and short legs, which give them a unique look that you can't miss. Besides their small size, Dachshunds are highly adaptable and loyal to their owners, making them great companions. They tend to be protective yet friendly, so they make a great option for families with kids.
Dachshunds benefit from plenty of exercise and playtime, as it helps keep them healthy, well-behaved, and happy. They should have a good walk with their owner every day, as well as plenty of opportunities to play and exercise. As they are small dogs, they may not need as much exercise as larger breeds, but they should still be able to run and get enough physical activity. Because of their long backs, they should be watched carefully and not overexerted or made to do excessive exercise.
Dachshunds can make a wonderful choice for first time owners. They are generally adaptable and loyal companions, renowned for their loyalty and affection to humans. Dachshunds are fairly low maintenance, and though they can be rambunctious, they can easily be house trained with consistency and patience. That being said, they are not particularly well-suited to hot climates and may take more time than other breeds to acclimate to outdoor activity.
Training your Dachshund begins by establishing yourself as the pack leader. Show your Dachshund that you are the boss and reward good behavior with plenty of praise. Teach basic commands, like "sit," "stay," and "come" right away. When teaching commands, use consistent verbal cues and hand signals. Consistency is key, so practice the same command repeatedly until your Dachshund memorizes it. If he/she misbehaves, correct their behavior immediately and redirect them to preferable behavior.
