Questions & Answers
Dachshunds, also known as "wiener dogs", are a spirited breed of dog. They were originally bred in Germany to hunt badgers and have been around since the 1600s. One unique aspect of the breed is that they have a variety of coat types, from smooth to wirehaired. Furthermore, they come in three standard sizes: standard, miniature and kaninchen. Their elongated bodies and powerful hind legs give them an impressive speed and agility.
Managing allergies to Dachshunds can be challenging since they are a breed that is prone to shed fur and dander. The best way to reduce your symptoms is to groom your pet regularly and make sure the environment stays clean and dust-free. Vacuuming regularly and using allergen-reducing air cleaners can help as well. Additionally, some owners choose to give their pet an allergy-reducing diet to help keep their pet's dander and fur to a minimum.
Yes, Dachshunds have unique dietary needs rooted in their physical characteristics. Due to their abnormally long backs, they have a higher risk of gastrointestinal complications if given the wrong diet. Their stomachs are sensitive, so the food they eat should be highly digestible and low-fat. Some Dachshund owners substitute high-calorie grain fillers found in commercial pet food with more beneficial sources of proteins and fats, like cottage cheese, scrambled eggs, and baby carrots.
The key to becoming the best puppy parent for your Dachshund is to provide them with the proper amount of love, attention, and guidance. A balance of play time and teaching them constructive behaviors will help keep your pup healthy and happy. Become familiar with their breed-specific needs, like their exercise and dietary requirements. Also make sure you provide your pup with adequate socialization and bonding time. Stay on top of their vaccinations, flea and tick treatment, and regular vet visits. Lastly, be sure to research and use positive reinforcement based training techniques to help shape their behaviors.
While Dachshunds are not considered especially large by breed standards, they can be relatively substantial in size compared to other 'small' breeds of dogs. Generally speaking, they can measure anywhere from 8 to 9 inches in height and weigh between 16 and 32 pounds. That being said, when compared to larger breeds such as German Shepherds or Great Danes, Dachshunds can seem comparatively small. However, due to their sturdy build, they can have an appearance of being larger than they actually are and be referred to as 'big dogs'.
Dachshunds are known for having lots of energy and enthusiasm, and are considered to be active dogs. Regular exercise and play time is essential to keep them healthy and content, so they are best for an owner who enjoys exercising their pup. The average Dachshund loves being active, and will often do best with plenty of time to run and explore outside. Walks, enrichment activities, and interactive play are all great ways to keep your Dachshund active and happy.
It depends on the individual dog, but generally Dachshunds do get along with other pets. They can have a bold and curious personality so patience will be necessary during puppyhood and introducing them to other animals. The key is to make sure their socialization is done in a safe and suitable environment, like a puppy preschool or a puppy playgroup. Exercise and mental stimulation, along with positive reinforcement and obedience training, are essential for any breed of dog.
Many owners believe that Dachshunds are highly intelligent breeds due to their trainability, clever problem-solving abilities, and their capability to remember commands and routines. Not only that, their innate hunting instinct helps them to be quick learners. While there is no definitive answer as to how 'smart' a particular dog breed is, Dachshunds have been proven to be quick-witted and quick to catch on to new commands and tasks.
