Questions & Answers
Dachshunds are a truly fascinating breed of dog. Not only do they have their iconic long body and short legs, but they are also known for their loyalty, intelligence and loving personality. One of the most interesting facts about Dachshunds is that they were originally bred to hunt badgers, and still today they have an extraordinary sense of smell. They have a courageous and confident spirit, and can often be stubborn! Due to their small size, they make great watchdog for their owners, as they are often fiercely devoted and always alert.
Managing allergies with Dachshunds can be done by minimizing contact between the dog and the individual who is allergic to it. Keeping the dog groomed regularly, brushing it with a pet-safe grooming brush, and utilizing a pet vacuum to keep allergens off furniture and floors will help reduce allergen exposure. Not allowing the dog onto furniture or beds, especially where the allergic person will be lying, is also recommended. It is also important to choose washable pet bedding and to wash it frequently with an allergen reducing detergent.
Dachshunds are generally omnivorous, so their diet should include a combination of both meat and vegetables. There are many store-bought dog foods that are specifically tailored to the nutritional needs of Dachshunds, and should constitute the majority of their diet. Additionally, Dachshunds can benefit from occasional treats, such as cooked vegetables, meat, and boiled eggs. Just make sure to adjust their regular diet accordingly, as too much food can lead to unhealthy weight gain.
Before getting a Dachshund, it's essential to make sure you have all the necessary supplies and equipment. This includes a quality collar and leash; comfortable bed; toys for chewing and playing; food and water dishes; nail clippers; brush or comb; long-haired coat shampoo and conditioner; and flea and tick medication. Additionally, it's important to have a valid ID tag with up-to-date contact information engraved onto it in case your pooch ever gets lost.
Dachshunds come in two sizes, standard and miniature. The standard size Dachshund is anywhere from 16 to 32 pounds, with a height of 8 to 9 inches at the shoulders. The miniature version is 11 pounds or fewer, and with a height of 5 to 6 inches at the shoulders. Not only do Dachshunds come in different sizes, they also come in two coat types: smooth-haired and longhaired.
Dachshunds are an active breed of dogs, they require regular exercise to stay fit and healthy. They can be incredibly loyal and companionable, though they can also be territorial and stubborn too. Although they are small breeds, they come with an enormous heart, making them very eager to please. Even though their size may be small, never underestimate a Dachshund's ability to keep up with exercise. They enjoy human interaction and regular mental stimulation, like walks, games, and playtime with their humans.
Dachshunds are generally good with kids, however there are many things to consider when introducing any pet to the family. Dachshunds tend to be loyal companions, however they are also a very energetic, tenacious breed. If you have children in the home, it’s important to monitor any potential interactions between your pet and the kids. Teach your children respect and boundaries – for both their own safety and that of the Dachshund.
Training a Dachshund can be both easy and challenging depending on the individual dog's learning ability and your level of commitment to the training process. A Dachshund is a very smart breed with a strong will and can learn quickly with positive reinforcement. Understanding your dog's behavior and providing consistent, clear instructions is key to successful training. Keeping sessions brief and rewarding desired behaviors with treats, compliments and a little extra playtime can help to keep them focused and interested. Reinforcing obedience when they are being praised will also help to ensure success.
