Questions & Answers
Dachshunds are small pooches with personalities bigger than their size! One of the most popular fun facts about this breed is their namesake: the German word dachshund translates to badger dog, which accurately reflects their hunting heritage. Another interesting fact is that the dog breed dates back as far as the 15th century! Some people know Dachshunds as the "Weiner" dog, and often dress them up in costumes for festive occasions. After all, Dachshunds are charming and friendly dogs.
Managing allergies with Dachshunds requires a few proactive steps. Making sure the dog's coat is clean and free of excess dander is important. It's also beneficial to limit the amount of pollen and other allergens that can build up in the dog's fur. Bathing the dog regularly and brushing its coat thoroughly is essential to make sure any allergens are removed. Additionally, keeping the Dachshund out of areas where strong allergens tend to collect, such as damp areas, can help manage allergies. Finally, pet allergens can clog the air.
Dachshunds generally possess innocuous dietary needs in comparison to other breeds; however, there are some things to keep in mind when it comes to their nutrition. It is important to provide your Dachshund with a diet high in quality protein along with healthy grains and fats. It is also important to ensure that the food you provide is suited to the age and size of your pet. In addition, since Dachshunds tend to be susceptible to Obesity, it is recommended that you monitor and maintain their calorie intake.
To ensure your new Dachshund has a safe and comfortable home, there are several things you can do. First, remove any access to potentially unsafe areas such as balconies, stairs and pools. Secondly, baby proof any cabinets, drawers and other areas where small items may be tempting to curious puppies. Thirdly, install gates to section off the area they are allowed to roam, and make sure furniture and cords are covered or moved away from any access points.
The size of your Dachshund puppy will vary depending on the puppy's specific breed, gender and individual genetics. Typically, Dachshunds range in size from 8-9 inches (20-23cm) at the shoulder and weigh 11-32 pounds (5-15kg). It's important to remember that puppies should not reach their full-size until they are roughly two-years-old. As your puppy grows, monitor its development and adjust feedings and exercise accordingly. Your puppy's vet can help guide you through your pup's growth.
Dachshunds need regular physical exercise to stay healthy and fit. A daily walk or jog of 30-45 minutes is recommended plus an opportunity for supervised playtime off-leash. Many Dachshunds enjoy participating in canine sports such as agility, flyball, Earthdog, tracking, or lure coursing. These activities not only provide physical exercise, but also mental stimulation which will help your pup stay engaged and alert.
Dachshunds can be a great first-time owner pet. They are small in size and require less exercise than a larger breed of dog. They are also fairly easy to train and have predictable behaviors. Dachshunds tend to form strong bonds with their owners and they are loyal and affectionate companions. Additionally, dachshunds come in both wired-hair and smooth-hair coats which adds to their appeal for first-time owners who may not be familiar with grooming.
Training a Dachshund is not unlike training any other breed of dog; however, you must take into account their strong-willed nature and their propensity to focus solely on digging and chasing small animals. First and foremost, you must be consistent. Develop a routine and allow your Dachshund a few weeks to adjust. Try to make the learning process fun but don't be afraid to issue gentle corrections if needed. Reinforce positive behaviors with treats or playtime. Additionally, practice obedience commands regularly and keep your voice and commands consistent. Be patient.
