Questions & Answers
A Dachshund is a small, short-legged and elongated dog breed of the hound family. They originated from Germany, where they were initially known as ‘Badger Dogs’. While they are small, they carry themselves with a majestic air. Dachshunds come in a variety of colors and patterns, such as red, black, and even piebald. Their coats are usually either smooth or wirehaired, and they have long floppy ears similar to basset hounds.
Managing allergies with Dachshunds is possible but requires some extra effort. First and foremost, keep your Dachshund away from areas where allergens are prevalent. Bathing your Dachshund on a regular basis is important, and look into investing in grooming products specifically designed to reduce allergic reactions. You should also vacuum carpets and furniture often to eliminate dander. Additionally, consider controlling your home’s humidity, as well as regularly changing your Dachshund’s bedding and blankets.
Dachshunds should not be fed foods that are high in fat, such as greasy foods, sausages, and deli meats, as they can easily become obese. Things like chocolate, nuts, and popcorn can also be hazardous as they can cause gastrointestinal problems and even be toxic. Bones and rawhide should also be avoided as they can splinter and cause choking or become stuck in your dog's digestive tract. It is best to provide whole, natural foods that are specific to the breed size and activity level of your dachshund.
The best way to prepare for your new Dachshund is to do your research. Find out what their dietary needs are, if they require any special vaccinations, how often they should see the vet for check-ups, and how to properly groom and exercise them. Additionally, you should create a space for them with all necessary items, such as a bed, toys, and food and water dishes, and pick up any cleaning supplies they may require.
The size of your Dachshund puppy will depend on the particular breed of Dachshund that you own. Generally, Dachshunds range from small to standard sizes, with small Dachshunds being 8-11 inches at the shoulder and weighing between 11-16 pounds, and standard Dachshunds being 16-32 pounds and 16-32 inches at the shoulder. Ultimately, the size of your Dachshund puppy will depend on many aspects such as gender, genetics and nutrition; so it's hard to give a definitive answer.
Generally speaking, Dachshunds are not particularly fond of having to swim, although this is likely to depend on the individual dog. Some Dachshunds are able to take to swimming with relative ease and pleasure, while others may not enjoy it as much, or may even be scared by the sensation of being in the water. For owners, creating a positive experience is important in order to help the pup become comfortable in the water.
Generally speaking, Dachshunds tend to get along well with other animals, as long as they are introduced properly and exposed to them from a young age. It is recommended that they be socialized with other species, including cats, early and often in order to form a strong bond. When introducing Dachshunds to other animals, it is important that the environment be calm and not threatening this will help promote a strong sense of trust between parties.
It can depend on the individual Dachshund, but with patience and consistency, training a Dachshund can be an enjoyable experience. To start, set up a routine and be sure to practice regularly as the key to success is repetition. It often helps to reward good behavior with praise or treats. Be sure to keep the training session short and have a regular reward system to keep things interesting. Familiarize yourself with Dachshund behavior and quirks so you know what to expect. Teaching basic commands like "sit" and "stay" can be essential for any owner.
