Questions & Answers
Dachshunds are an alert, active, and playful breed with a keen sense of smell and an independent spirit. They bond deeply with their family and make wonderful companions, but require an owner that is willing to invest in time and training to ensure their happiness. Dachshunds are a medium-sized breed that come in varieties of two sizes and three coat types--smooth, wirehaired, and longhaired. Dachshunds may display vocal and territorial behaviour, so socialization from an early age is important.
Dachshunds can potentially cause you to have allergies. However, this will depend on the individual person and how sensitive their system is. For those who are sensitive to pet hair or pet dander, it is possible that a Dachshund could cause them to have allergies. It would be worthwhile for individuals who know they are sensitive to pet dander or other items to consider having an allergy test done before deciding on a pet. A veterinarian can also offer insight and advice to those who are uncertain. Additionally, different grooming habits can also help to reduce any potential allergic reactions.
Dachshunds require a diet that is tailored to their specific needs which may vary depending on their size and age. Generally, quality dry dog food can fulfill their nutritional requirements and typically contains high protein content from sources such as chicken, fish, and lamb. If an adult Dachshund is fed too much, they can easily become overweight. Therefore, to ensure they maintain their ideal weight, it's important to monitor portion sizes. Adding canned food, fresh fruit and vegetables, such as carrots, apples, and green beans, can also be beneficial.
It is important to properly prepare for a new Dachshund. The first step is to ensure you have all of the supplies necessary to properly care for the pup. This includes proper housing, food and water dishes, a leash, collar, toys, grooming products, waste disposal items, and any medications the pup may need. Secondly, it is essential to research proper Dachshund owned and care and to consult a veterinarian for further advice. You should also find a good, reliable source from which to purchase supplies and food.
Dachshunds typically come in two main size varieties, Standard and Miniature. Standard Dachshunds generally weigh between 16 and 32 pounds and have a shoulder height of 8 to 9 inches. In contrast, Miniature Dachshunds typically weigh between 11 and 16 pounds and have a shoulder height of 5 to 6 inches. Additionally, some breeders have produced a variety of the breed, called Teacup Dachshunds, which are generally smaller than Miniature Dachshunds and weigh between 2 and 6 pounds.
Generally speaking, Dachshunds love the water and it can be a great activity to cool off during hot summer days. While some breeds may instinctively take to the water, some may not have the confidence to swim. It can be helpful to properly get your Dachshund used to swimming early on for a positive experience for both you and your pup. Most Dachshunds can learn proper swimming technique and gain tremendous confidence with regular practice. Be sure to make your pup's first swimming experience pleasant by using positive reinforcement and providing flotation devices like life jackets or float vests.
Dachshunds, sometimes nicknamed 'wiener dogs', are intelligent and loving dogs that can make wonderful companions with the right family. Generally, Dachshunds get along quite well with kids of all ages, as long as they are introduced and socialized properly. Dachshunds can have high energy levels, so firm, gentle consistency, along with positive reinforcement and playtime, is important to ensure that everyone in the family has a pleasant time together. With proper supervision and respect, kids and Dachshunds can form strong bonds and create beautiful memories.
Training a Dachshund can require as few as 10 minutes per day. However, it is recommended that owners dedicate closer to 30 minutes per day. This way you ensure your Dachshund is getting the proper love and attention they need to be mentally stimulated. While 30 minutes of training is adequate, adding a few extra minutes three times a week can help keep your Dachshund even more engaged and on their toes. This makes for a more obedient pup and a happy owner!
