Questions & Answers
Dachshunds are a breed of dog that originated in Germany. They are easily recognizable from their long bodies and short legs. Not only are they a distinct look, here are some fun facts about Dachshunds that you may not have known about them. Interestingly, Dachshunds were at one point bred specifically for hunting badgers and other animals living in their burrows. Additionally, they have been popular among many celebrities, including the Vanderbilts and Queen Victoria.
It is possible to manage allergies with Dachshunds by taking certain precautions. First, brush and bathe your Dachshund regularly to keep loose fur and dander to a minimum. Use a HEPA air filter in your home to reduce the amount of allergens in the air. Keep your Dachshund out of your bedroom, as this is the source of many allergens. If you are still having difficulties with allergies, consider using a Dachshund pet bedding made of hypoallergenic materials and try to replace carpeting with hardwood flooring.
Dachshunds should not be fed table scraps, dairy products, or raw eggs. Human food items such as candy, cookies, and chocolate are also not good for Dachshunds and should be avoided, as they can make them very sick. Additionally, foods high in fat, such as most processed meats and fried foods, are not recommended for a Dachshund's diet. Goods such as bones, pig ears, and other common snacks can be damaging to a Dachshund's digestive system and their teeth as well.
Yes, Dachshunds have some special requirements in order to keep them healthy and happy. First of all, these dogs require regular daily walks to keep them active and their muscles toned. Additionally, they need adequate nutrition, as well as socialization with people and other animals in order to reduce the risk of them becoming aggressive or anxious. Furthermore, their long back can contribute to back issues as they age, so they should not be allowed to jump up or off of furniture in order to avoid potential injury.
Dachshunds are available in three size varieties – Standard, Miniature, and Kaninchen (or Rabbit). Standard Dachshunds are the largest of the three, they are 16-32 pounds in weight and 8-9 inches in height, while Miniature varieties come in at about 11 pounds and 5-6 inches in height. The smallest of them all is the Kaninchen (Rabbit) Dachshund, as they typically don't exceed 4-5 pounds in weight and 5-6 inches in height.
Dachshunds are known for being incredibly active dogs. In general, they have a curious, playful attitude and lots of energy to burn. Because of an innate need to be active and curious, Dachshunds need plenty of exercise, socialization, and affection in order to stay healthy and happy. Dachshunds can do virtually any activity imaginable including running, playing fetch, hiking, and more! But because of their smaller, low-to-ground stature, they are particularly suited to do activities such as agility courses, tracking, and even dock diving.
Yes, Dachshunds are excellent family pets! Intelligent and loyal, they form a strong connection with their owners and are eager to please. Not to mention, they are very social and love playing with children. Though they can be stubborn at times, regular training and socialization will help them adapt to new environments quickly, making them a better family pet. On top of that, they are clever problem solvers, which can add an extra layer of fun for the family.
The amount of minutes per day that you need to train a Dachshund will depend on various factors such as its age, temperament, and the desired behavior you would like to teach them. In general, though, the average time to train a Dachshund ranges between 10-30 minutes per day. If you are introducing them to more advanced commands and behaviors, up to a maximum of 40 minutes per day can be beneficial. With consistency and positive reinforcement, you can achieve excellent results in teaching your Dachshund, and keep your training sessions short but frequent.
