Questions & Answers
Dachshunds are a unique and beloved class of dog. Belonging to the hound family, they are characterized by their short legs and long bodies that give them their endearing nickname of "wiener dogs" or "hot dogs". They come in two sizes with two different coat varieties, and their friendly and loyal temperaments make them popular family members worldwide.
Managing allergies with Dachshunds can be accomplished by controlling their environment and taking other preventive measures. It is important to keep floors and furniture clean and vacuum regularly, as pet dander is a major allergen. Groom your Dachshund weekly, bathing them regularly and brushing their coats to help alleviate sensitized reactions to allergens. Putting a filter on the furnace, air conditioner, and air vents of the house can also reduce the amount of pet dander circulating in the air.
Dachshunds are generally active and playful dogs, so their diet should include high-quality, nutrient-rich food that contains moderate amounts of fat and calories. Typically, a commercially available dry dog food designed for small or medium-sized dogs is ideal for Dachshunds, and can be supplemented with canned food, chews, treats, and even cooked meats such as freshly cooked chicken and beef. Calcium-rich treats like yogurt and hard-boiled eggs are also nutritious and delicious for Dachshunds.
Before getting a Dachshund, you should stock up on a few essential items. Start with a collar, leash, and ID tags for your pup. You will also want to purchase a quality food and water bowl, as well as age-appropriate food to provide proper nutrition. Similarly, a comfortable dog bed is essential for providing a secure space for your pup. Grooming supplies such as nail clippers and a soft bristle brush should also be on your list. Finally, you'll want to pick up some chew toys to help with teething and toys for exercise and mental stimulation.
Dachshunds come in two distinct sizes standard size and miniature. The standard size is usually 15-20 inches tall and weighs around 15-30 pounds. Miniature Dachshunds usually measure around 5-6 inches tall and weigh less than 10 pounds. In addition, some Dachshunds may be on the smaller side or a bit larger than the typical standard size. Ultimately, it's important to meet with a breeder and see the size of the dogs in person in order to make sure you get the size you are looking for.
Admittedly, some Dachshunds love to take a dive in the pool, while others may not. Generally speaking, most Dachshunds tolerate water, but may not enjoy swimming in it. Much like people, some Dachshunds may find swimming activities to be fun and exciting whereas others may remain indifferent. It's important to understand the swim-ability of your particular Dachshund before taking it into deep water. Some breeds are known to have less water-resistant coats, and some are more fearful of water due to their short stature.
Dachshunds can be great with kids in the right home and given the correct upbringing. Generally speaking, Dachshunds are loyal, loving and gentle by nature which makes them ideal companions for children. Of course, like with every breed, some Dachshunds may be better suited for a home with older children. It is important to remember that all puppies, regardless of the breed, require early socialization and training to ensure that they grow into confident, well-mannered dogs.
The amount of time you need to spend training your Dachshunds each day can vary greatly depending on their individual energy levels as well as the specific goals you are trying to achieve. However, generally speaking, most experts recommend at least 15 minutes of training each day, divided into shorter daily sessions that focus on building positive behaviors. It is important to remember that while 15 minutes is a good minimum, it may be necessary to spend more time engaging with your Dachshunds to help them learn and change any behaviors that you are trying to correct.
