Questions & Answers
Dachshunds, affectionately known as 'weiner dogs', are an interesting and loveable breed. Not only do they come in 3 coat types (smooth, wirehaired, and long-haired) but they also have several sizes to fit various lifestyles. One of the cutest fun-facts about Dachshunds is that they were bred to help hunt badgers and thus, their name comes from the German phrase "Dachs" meaning badger and "Hund" meaning hound.
Dachshunds will not necessarily cause you to have allergies. While some people may be allergic to the saliva of a particular breed of dog, an individual dachshund may not necessarily cause someone to have allergies. That being said, as with any pet, it is important to be aware and cautious of the potential health risks. It is a good idea to visit with your doctor or allergist to determine whether or not your body has any allergic reactivity to dachshunds.
Dachshunds should not be fed food that is too high in fat, such as processed human food like fried or fatty meats. They should not be given grapes or raisins as they can be poisonous for dogs. Similarly, foods like onions, garlic, chives, and sweets should also be avoided for the same reason. Additionally, it is not recommended to give Dachshunds bones, since they are known for choking on them. Furthermore, Dachshunds should not be fed chocolate as it can be fatal to them.
Yes, Dachshunds do have special requirements that can vary depending on the individual breed and background. For instance, Dachshunds need plenty of daily exercise, such as running and playing, in order to maintain a healthy weight and energy level. Grooming is also important for their long-haired varieties, which should be bathed regularly and brushed frequently. Additionally, regular dental care is important to maintain good health and prevent bacteria and tartar buildup. Finally, regular visits to the vet are important to keep up to date on vaccinations and other preventative care.
Dachshunds typically grow to between 8 and 9 inches tall and can weigh anywhere between 16 and 32 pounds, depending on their particular breed. Standard Dachshunds are usually the largest, though Dwarf Dachshunds are much smaller. The size also depends on whether the dog is male or female, with males being typically larger. All Dachshunds have a very long body, short legs, and a floppy and distinctively long ears compared to other breeds. As with any breed, regular good nutrition and adequate exercise are important for a healthy and balanced canine friend.
Dachshunds are generally quite fond of the water and many do indeed like to swim. However, not all Dachshunds take naturally to the water and it is important to introduce your dog to swimming in a relaxed and positive way. Since these little dogs have such short legs, swimming can help them to build strength and stamina as well as aid with joint pain. It is also a great way to both tire and stimulate your Dachshund. Training your pup to swim is good exercise but should only be done under supervision to ensure your dog’s safety.
Yes, Dachshunds can make wonderful pets for first-time owners. They are loyal, courageous and intelligent, making them easy to train, and their small size makes them well-suited to the smaller spaces of many first-time pet owners. They typically have low-shedding, short coats, which require minimal maintenance, and their independent streak serves them well when living in a household with new pet owners. Although they are stubborn and persistent, Dachshunds are highly affectionate and loving, offering comfort and companionship to those who are new to pet ownership.
The amount of daily training time required for your Dachshund depends largely on its age and level of training. Puppies require up to 20 minutes per day, while adults may require as little as 10 minutes. However, if you plan to show your pet, you will need to increase this amount depending on the type of training you choose. Agility classes, for example, require about 1 to 2 hours of exercise per day, while obedience classes can require 45 minutes of attention. Additionally, be sure to plan enough regular play time with your pet in order to reinforce the lessons you have taught.
