Questions & Answers
Dachshunds are a loyal and fun-loving breed of dog that often thrive in family environments. They are small, weighing between 16 and 32 pounds, and come in three coat varieties: smooth, wirehaired, and long-haired. Dachshunds are also available in a variety of colors. The breed is known for its intelligence, curiosity, and hunting prowess. They often need plenty of exercise and attention, which means providing daily walks or activities. As with any breed, training is essential to ensure good behavior and a well-mannered pet.
Managing allergies with Dachshunds can be tricky due to their long coats, but there are some tips you can follow to minimize your risk of an allergic reaction. First, avoid petting or brushing them until you have washed your hands and clothes after coming into contact with any other animals or their fur. Second, vacuum the house regularly and change bedding frequently. Third, consider using a high quality air purifier and wash your pet at least once every couple of weeks with an all-natural hypoallergenic shampoo.
Dachshunds should not be fed anything that is high in fat, like fatty meats or fried foods, as this could contribute to obesity and related health issues. Additionally, they should never be given grapes, raisins, chocolate, caffeine or anything containing alcohol, as these can be toxic. Some fruits and vegetables, like onions, garlic, chives and avocado are also risky and can cause digestive upset. Avoid feeding them bones that can splinter, as they may cause choking or perforate the esophagus and intestines.
Before getting a Dachshund, you should consider investing in a few essential items for your pup's needs. Make sure to purchase a good quality dog bed that's big enough for them to sleep comfortably in. Additionally, you should acquire a few chew toys and some tough bones for fun! Be sure to invest in a few different leashes, collars, or harnesses for walks, and also purchases a durable food and water bowl. Don't forget to pick up plenty of treats, food, and other supplies (flea/tick maintenance, etc).
Dachshund puppies are beautiful no matter their size, but if you're looking to estimate how big your pup will be as an adult, it's important to look at the size of their parents. Dachshunds come in three sizes: standard, miniature, and 'tweenie.' A standard typically weighs 16-32 pounds as an adult and a miniature usually maxes out at 11 pounds. A 'tweenie' is a mix of the two and may fall somewhere in the middle.
Dachshunds generally have a strong affinity for water and many of them love to swim. However, not all of them take to swimming with equal enthusiasm. It is important to slowly acclimate your Dachshund to water and build up to swimming sessions that are enjoyable and entertaining for your pet. Some Dachshunds may simply enjoy playing and splashing around in shallow water, while others can develop the confidence to swim in deeper waters.
Generally, Dachshunds are friendly dogs that can get along with other pets if they are properly introduced and socialized. As with any pet, however, it is important to take the time to slowly and carefully introduce the Dachshund to any other household pets to ensure that they all get along. The Dachshund may be protective of its humans and food so it is suggested that additional pets are monitored closely when first meeting the Dachshund. If both are properly socialized, you are sure to find that your furry family members will be best friends in no time!
Training a Dachshund can be a rewarding experience, especially when it comes to obedience training! The amount of minutes per day that you'll need to train your dog will vary based on your individual needs and goals, as well as how easily your pup responds to training tactics. Generally, you should plan for around 10-20 minutes of training a day. However, it's important to spread out the training into multiple shorter sessions as this will keep your pup's motivation levels high.
