Questions & Answers
Dachshunds are a lively, playful breed of dog which have become increasingly popular over the past few years. Here are some fun facts about these curious pups: They were originally bred in Germany over 300 years ago to hunt badgers and other small burrowing animals. Dachshunds are one of the oldest dog breeds and come in three varieties: longhair, wirehair, and smooth. Because of their powerful sense of smell, dachshunds make excellent hounds and surprisingly good swimmers.
Whether or not Dachshunds will cause you to have allergies depends on a variety of factors. Dander, which is produced by all animals and can trigger allergies in some people, is derived from the saliva, skin, and fur of the animal. Since all animals produce dander, the likelihood of having an allergic reaction varies individual-to-individual, and there is no exact way to know for sure if your allergies will be triggered by a Dachshund until you are exposed to it.
Yes, Dachshunds have specific nutritional needs due to their long, slim body shape and short legs. They require a high-quality diet that meets their specific caloric and dietary needs, to ensure they reach their full potential. Their diet should contain a variety of vitamins and minerals, such as zinc and manganese, plus omega-3 fatty acids to improve their coat condition and joint health. It is also important that Dachshunds receive adequate amounts of protein, as this breed is prone to problems with their joints.
Before bringing home a new Dachshund, it's important to make sure you are prepared. Begin by doing research into the breed; learn all you can about the diet, energy level, and common health conditions associated with the breed. Obtaining a high-quality food and purchasing equipment like a bed, leash, collar, and any toys that your Dachshund might enjoy should be done prior to their arrival. Additionally, it's important to puppy-proof your home; make sure all small objects have been removed and that any poisonous plants have been taken out from reach.
Dachshunds, or 'wiener dogs', are typically one of two sizes. Standard Dachshunds are usually 16-32 lbs and can reach an adult height of 8-9 inches. The Miniature Dachshund comes in two sizes, 'Mini' which weighs 11 lbs or less and is 5-6 inches tall and 'Toy' which weighs 9 lbs or less and is 5 inches or less in height. Both standards and miniatures have a wide variety of colours and coat types, such as smooth coat, long-haired coat, and russet.
Every Dachshund has its own unique energy level and needs, so the amount of time you should walk your pup each day will depend on your pet's individual needs. Generally speaking, a Dachshund needs about 20 to 40 minutes of exercise per day, with each walk lasting 10 to 20 minutes. If your pup is young and healthy, it's a good idea to have two or three walking sessions a day. However, if your dog is older or has limited mobility, one walk that lasts 15 to 20 minutes should suffice.
Dachshunds are generally known to be great companions for children, due to their energetic and playful personalities. They are affectionate and loyal, often forming strong bonds with their owners and families, especially kids. They do best in a home where they are treated like part of the family, and having a lot of attention and plenty of playtime will keep them content and make them an ideal pet for children. Additionally, their small size makes them great for laps, cuddles, and games.
Training a Dachshund can be done effectively by following simple steps such as setting boundaries and consistent reinforcement. Begin by providing your Dachshund with a safe space to call their own and use positive reinforcement during training. When reinforcing your pup, it is advisable to use treats as rewards, but avoid items that are too calorie-dense or too salty. Develop a regular training routine that spans all of the basic commands such as sit, stay, come and down. Stick to a schedule for regular training and rewarding so that your pup is more likely to listen.
