Questions & Answers
Dachshunds are incredibly friendly and sociable dogs, originally bred as small hunting dogs. Fun facts about Dachshunds include that they are incredibly intelligent and are even able to learn complex commands, tricks and even dances. Dachshunds are known for their short legs but can actually travel up to 9 miles in one day, and not just on level ground. They make exceptional family dogs, as their loyalty and energy level make them an excellent addition to any home.
Managing allergies with Dachshunds is different than managing allergies with other breeds. Dachshunds have long hair that can shed, so brushing them regularly is important. Talk to your vet about what kind of grooming is appropriate for your dog regular baths may help reduce allergens, and some dogs may require more frequent misting with a hypo-allergenic shampoo. In addition, keep their living area free of dust and dander. Vacuum frequently, wash their bedding regularly, and reduce clutter in their space.
Yes, Dachshunds do have special dietary needs. Unlike many other breeds, their long, deep bodies require a specific balance of proteins, carbohydrates, and fats to maintain optimal health. Additionally, they are smaller dogs and lack the reserves of bigger breeds. Consequently, it is important to ensure that their daily nutritional needs are met with high-quality food suited to their metabolism. Not only will this keep them energized and active, but it will also help their digestion and prevent obesity. Ultimately, an appropriate diet will keep them as healthy as possible.
There are a few essentials that all Dachshund owners should get before bringing their pooch home. First, you should invest in plenty of quality, age-appropriate toys for your pup. chewable toys and tuggers are great for not only exercising your pup but also helping with much-needed teething. Second, you need to make sure you have quality food and treats on hand. Not all commercial dog food is created equal and, just like with people, nutrition is incredibly important for the overall health of your dog. Third, a quality leash and collar are also a must have;
Yes, Dachshunds are considered small dogs. Typically they measure between 8 and 9 inches, from the top of their head to the floor, and weigh no more than 16 pounds. However, Dachshunds have a long, muscular body and stout legs. As far as temperament, these intelligent little dogs often have an outgoing, friendly personality and can be quite alert. Though they may be small, many Dachshund owners will tell you they possess a big, lively spirit, and are easily trained for household living.
It is possible to take your Dachshund running, however, exercise caution. This breed is only recommended for moderate levels of exercise due to their long backs. An extended and fast-paced run could strain their spines and lead to other complications. It is better to provide your dachshund with plenty of short and frequent walks rather than large bouts of running. And, when possible, choose grassy surfaces or dirt trails with some cushioning to help prevent injuries.
Dachshunds are generally friendly dogs and can often get along with other pets in the household. With the right techniques, these loyal dogs can become part of a multi-pet home. The key is being able to teach both your dachshund and the other pets to coexist peacefully. Having patience and spending time to build a positive relationship is the best way to ensure a long term living arrangement. Remember to provide your dachshund with plenty of exercise and mental stimulation to help create a well-rounded, happy dog with a balanced temperament.
The amount of time you should dedicate to training your Dachshund on a daily basis largely depends on their age and level of obedience. If your pup is young, around two months of age, then you should plan to spend between five and ten minutes on basic commands such as 'sit', 'stay' and 'come' each day.
