Questions & Answers
Dachshunds, also known as “wiener dogs,” are a unique and playful breed of dog. Fun facts about them include that they are experts at digging and used to hunt badgers and rabbits, as well as their family group name is a “pack” of dachshunds. Their elongated shape is due to their low-to-the-ground build, and they come in both standard and miniature sizes. They are also surprisingly brave considering their small stature, with their courageous nature being part of their hunting heritage.
No, Dachshunds are not hypoallergenic. While certain breeds may be more hypoallergenic than others, almost all breeds will still cause an allergic reaction in some people. This is because there is a particular protein found in the saliva, skin cells and urine of most dogs that can cause an allergic reaction. Therefore, even if a breed may express a low degree of this protein, there is still a chance that some people may be allergic to it.
Dachshunds should not be given cooked bones, because they can easily splinter and become sharp when chewed. Onions, garlic, and similar foods should also be avoided, as they can cause a toxic reaction in dogs or damage their blood cells. Certain processed meats, like luncheon meats, bacon, and sausage, can also be a choking hazard. Dachshunds may be tempted to eat human snacks, like chocolate, candy or sugar-free gum, all of which can be harmful. In addition, grapes and raisins can cause serious kidney problems.
To become the best puppy parent for a Dachshund, it's important to provide them with plenty of exercise, love, stimulation, and training. Exercise can be provided in the form of walks, runs, and playtime that give the puppy adequate physical and mental exercise. Additionally, providing basic obedience training is important to teach the puppy how to respond to commands. Make sure to offer lots of love and affection such as praise when they do something good and lots of petting and cuddling. Stimulation can be offered through interactive toys and activities that keep the pup's attention.
Yes, Dachshunds are considered to be a small breed of dog. They originate from Germany, where they have been bred for the purpose of hunting small prey. They typically have long, slender bodies and sturdy legs which make them well-suited for going through tunnels and undergrowth. Their size and agility makes them a popular choice of pet for people with limited living space. In addition, their friendly and loving nature means that they fit easily into most families, no matter the size.
The amount of time you should dedicate to walking your Dachshund each day depends on its age and overall health. Generally, Dachshunds should get at least 30 minutes of exercise a day. For young puppies, short, frequent walks of 5-10 minutes several times a day can be beneficial; this will help ensure proper stimulation and muscle-strengthening. For adults, the amount of time spent walking them can be increased to up to an hour or more of exercise a day. This should provide adequate exercise to keep your Dachshund healthy and strong.
Yes, Dachshunds often make great companions for young children. Though they may be small, they are quite fearless and have an affinity for exploring. With that said, as is the case with any animal, introducing a Dachshund to children should always be done gradually and with adult supervision. Additionally, children should be trained to respect the dog's space and should never attempt to overhandle them, as Dachshunds may become timid or anxious when too much stress is put on them.
Training a Dachshund is similar to training other breeds. First, set up a routine to ensure consistency in behavior. It is important to be aware of your Dachshunds breed specific behaviours as this can aid in training. Spend time daily working with your Dachshund, teaching simple commands like 'sit', 'stay', 'come', 'leave it', 'no', and 'stay'. Start with simple obedience exercises and increase the difficulty as your Dachshund masters each level. Use treats and positive reinforcement to encourage desired behaviors.
