Questions & Answers
Dachshunds are highly intelligent, lively, playful dogs that require lots of physical activity and mental stimulation. Due to their long backs and short legs, they should not be around small children or rough-housing, as they can be prone to back injuries. Known as the “Sausage Dog” for its tube-like shape, the Dachshund is a small breed but has a big personality. They can be stubborn and naughty, so consistent training is essential to achieve a proper balance.
Managing allergies with Dachshunds can be possible with the right precautions. It is important to keep the home and environment clean and free from allergens and irritants that can trigger an allergic reaction. Vacuuming and dusting frequently, regular bathing, and using unscented hypoallergenic detergents can help to minimize allergens that can come from shedding dog hair or dander. Special air cleaners and filtration systems may be needed to eliminate allergens depending upon the severity of the allergy.
Dachshunds should never be fed any foods that contain onions, garlic, grapes, or raisins, as these can all be toxic to them. It is also important to keep their diet low in fat since they are prone to weight gain. Be careful to avoid feeding them any treats that are too hard or crunchy, as this could hurt their teeth. Dachshunds should also not be given any food with too much sugar, as it can lead to diabetes and other health issues.
Before you get a Dachshund you'll want to make sure you have some essential items to keep your pup safe and comfortable. Start with a collar and a leash. A good collar should fit comfortably, should be adjustable as your pup grows and be able to hold an ID tag. When it comes to leashes, decide if you'd prefer a traditional leash or a more modern hands-free option. Don't forget about canine toothbrush and toothpaste, as proper dental hygiene is important for all pets.
Dachshunds come in two sizes standard and miniature and can range in size from 10 to 32 pounds (4.5 to 14.5 kg). Standard Dachshunds will typically weigh 16 to 32 pounds (7.2 to 14.5 kg) and measure 8 to 9 inches (20.3 to 22.8 cm) in height. Miniature Dachshunds usually weigh less than 11 pounds (4.9 kg) and stand 5 to 6 inches (12.7 to 15.2 cm) at the shoulder.
Dachshunds seem to have varied opinions on swimming. Some may love it, while others may not. It's important to understand your individual Dachshund's preferences if you plan to take them into the water. Generally, it is not recommended to take a Dachshund out for a swim without proper training. Dachshunds cannot swim as well as some other breeds because their short legs don’t provide needed power for their swimming efforts. If they do take a dip in the water, you should ensure they are supervised the entire time.
Yes, Dachshunds can be wonderful family dogs. They are active, curious, and lovable companions who love to be involved in their family's activities. These dogs are affectionate and loyal and bond deeply with their owners. They are also small, so they don't need much space. Dachshunds are often enthusiastic, and they enjoy playing and going on walks. However, Dachshunds can have difficulty living with children due to their independent spirit and long limbs, so it's important to monitor any interactions between your children and your Dachshund.
Training Dachshunds can vary in difficulty depending on the individual dog and the experience of the trainer. Dachshunds are known for their loyalty, intelligence, and strong-willed nature, so it may not be the easiest process. To be successful, it is best to use consistent and positive reinforcement to help your Dachshund learn the desired behaviors. Starting with basic commands and simple tasks will be key for the Dachshund to learn quickly.
