Questions & Answers
Dachshunds are a very unique breed! They were developed in Germany in the early 19th century to hunt badgers, and have since become a much-loved pet around the world. One fun fact about them is that they have very long backs due to their spinal structure! Also, some of them have very short legs giving them an even longer back. Additionally, Dachshunds are known for their courage and are often referred to as the "brave little sausage dog.
Managing allergies with Dachshunds is possible if you take certain precautions to reduce their contact with allergens. Begin by brushing them daily to ensure the fur isn't carrying any allergens, and vacuuming their environment frequently. You should also use damp cloths to wipe them down every so often. It's wise to avoid contact with certain fabrics, such as wool, as this could exacerbate allergy symptoms. Finally, consider taking them for regular vet checkups to ensure that any underlying allergies or sensitivities are identified and managed.
Yes, Dachshunds do have special dietary needs. Dachshunds may require specialized diets to maintain their health and prevent obesity. Because of their deeper chests and long spines, they can be prone to spinal problems and digestive issues, so reducing their caloric intake is important. Dachshunds should have a balanced diet with appropriate crunchy kibble or less processed options so their teeth stay clean and minimize the risk of dental disease. They may also benefit from a higher protein, moderate-fat diet as the protein helps keep their muscles long and lean.
Ensuring your home is set up in preparation for a Dachshund requires some pre-planning. It is important to thoroughly puppy proof the area and block off any spaces where furniture is low to the ground. Make sure all electrical wires and cords are out of reach and remove any choking hazards. Create a safe space that is just for your Dachshund and provide them with ample chew toys, blankets, and a soft bed. Have certain areas designated for them to eliminate in and provide them with a routine that helps encourage potty training.
Many Dachshunds are classified into size divisions, the "miniature" and the "standard". The puppy's size is largely dependent on their parents, with miniature puppies typically under 11 lbs and standards averaging 16-32 lbs. On average, miniature Dachshunds tend to be 8-11 inches from shoulder to paw, while the standards can be up to 16 inches in height. That being said, the size range will always vary from one dog to the next.
The recommended amount of exercise for a Dachshund is around 30 minutes to an hour per day. However, it is important to consider your Dachshund's age, mobility level, and overall health when deciding a weekly routine. Young and healthy Dachshunds who are full of energy may benefit from walks of up to 45 minutes at a time, but elderly or limited-mobility Dachshunds should stick to shorter distances to avoid over-exertion.
Absolutely! Dachshunds are loyal and great family dogs. With their outgoing personalities, they typically form strong bonds with owners and other pets. They are also known for their intelligence and ability to quickly learn new commands and behaviors. Dachshunds are also protective of their family and make great watchdogs, while still remaining very gentle and loving with children. In addition, Dachshunds come in both short and long-haired varieties, making them great companions for taking walks or just cuddling under a blanket at home.
Dachshunds are widely considered to be highly intelligent and perceptive dogs. They have an impressive ability to learn quickly and remember commands and behaviors. Dachshunds are renowned for their problem-solving abilities too, as they are naturally curious and eager to explore their environment. What's more, these loyal and affectionate companions are always looking to please their owners and show off with their impressive intelligence. They can easily be trained to learn a variety of tricks and other behaviors, which is indicative of their intelligence.
