Questions & Answers
Did you know Dachshunds were originally bred in Germany in the 1700s to flush out badgers? Not only do they have sturdy legs, but also their unique elongated body shape allows them to fit into tight spaces underground. They also have sensitive skin which can make them prone to sunburns, so its important to make sure they are appropriately protected. Another fun fact: Dachshunds come in two sizes, standard and miniature. They come in an array of colors and coat varieties, such as short-haired, wire-haired and long-haired.
The answer to whether or not dachshunds are hypoallergenic is no, they are not. While some people may be less affected by dachshunds compared to other breeds, they still produce allergens that can cause reactions to those who are prone to allergies. It is important to note that it is not the fur of the dachshund that causes allergies, but a combination of allergens such as the oils, saliva, and urine of the animal.
Dachshunds typically eat dry kibble made for small breed dogs. Many owners choose to supplement their dog's diet with cooked meats, carbohydrates, and vegetables with a focus on protein-rich ingredients. For instance, cooked lean meats such as chicken, turkey, and fish as well as tofu, egg whites, or low-fat cottage cheese provide excellent sources of protein. Healthy carbohydrates can be added in rice, oatmeal, or couscous. Fruits and vegetables like carrots, apples, or broccoli florets also provide an excellent source of fiber and other essential nutrients.
To become the best puppy parent for your Dachshund, you should first understand the common characteristics of the breed. This includes being alert and attentive, with strong tracking instincts and an endlessly curious nature. Additionally, they require consistent and firm training, as they can become demanding and independent if not properly disciplined. You should also make sure to provide them plenty of exercise to help prevent restlessness and destructive behaviors. Many Dachshunds appreciate mental stimulation through puzzle games and other interactive activities. Finally, provide lots of love and affection, as these pups thrive with reciprocated love.
Dachshunds typically come in two sizes-standard and miniature. Standard dachshunds are the larger of the two and usually weigh between 16 and 32 lbs and range in height from 8-9 inches. Miniature dachshunds are much-smaller than standards and usually weigh between 11 and 16 lbs and have an average height of 5-6 inches. Some creators and breeders may refer to additional sizes which are intermediate between the standard and miniature but are considered to be a variation of miniature dachshunds and not a completely separate category.
Dachshunds are energetic and lively dogs who require daily exercise to keep them healthy and content. A good guideline for Dachshunds is 45 minutes to an hour of exercise a day, split into at least two 15-minute sessions. Exercise should include walks, games of fetch, or any other activity that provides both mental and physical stimulation. It is important to make sure the exercise is age-appropriate and does not cause strain on the dog's delicate back.
Yes, Dachshunds can make wonderful family pets that are often good with children. They are generally good-natured and lively when they receive the right training and socialization from an early age. Dachshunds are loyal and affectionate, particularly with their families, and they look out for their people. They require patience and firm guidance when it comes to teaching good behavior. However, because of their small stature, they can get overwhelmed in chaotic situations, so it's best to avoid having too many children or pets in the same household.
Training a Dachshund can seem like a daunting task and requires an owner to commit to consistency and patience. Begin training early, as soon as your puppy arrives home, and build on basic commands like sit and stay. Socializing your pup is also important for good behavior; introduce it to a variety of people, animals, and situations, as early and safely as possible. You can also use positive reinforcement to keep your pup obedient and engaged. Rewards like treats, toys, and verbal praise can help motivate your pup to continue its training.
