Questions & Answers
Dachshunds are playful and loyal dogs with a long and interesting history. Depending on their size, they can be affectionately known as "weenie dogs" or "sausage dogs." They are excellent family pets, and they come in three varieties: standard, miniature, and kaninchen (rabbit). For breeders, one very interesting fact is that two standard-sized dogs can produce miniature puppies, no matter how they are bred.
Dachshunds do not typically cause allergies in humans, as long as certain steps are taken to reduce the level of allergens in their fur. If you suffer from pet allergies, you may want to consider brushing and bathing your Dachshund on a regular basis to reduce dander and other possible allergens in their coat. Additionally, maintaining your Dachshunds' coat and providing proper nutrition, paired with frequent vacuuming and dusting, can help reduce possible allergens in your home.
Yes, Dachshunds do have some special dietary needs that owners should be aware of. While this breed is known for being a hearty eater in general, certain foods can be detrimental to their health and digestive system. It is best to speak with a veterinarian to understand what kind of nutrition will aid in keeping your Dachshund healthy and active. Specific food items to avoid for this breed include avocados, grapes, onions, garlic, chives and macadamia nuts, as they can all be toxic.
Becoming the best puppy parent for your Dachshund is a rewarding endeavor. First and foremost, patience and consistency will be key, as these are the foundations of successful training. It also helps to stay one step ahead of your pup by learning as much as possible about Dachshunds, exercising with them, and providing them with appropriate challenges. Regular checkups at the vet and socialization and obedience classes are also important to ensure puppy is healthy and properly trained. And of course, plenty of love and positive reinforcement will go a long way in creating a happy and responsive pup.
The size of your Dachshund puppy will depend on his or her parents and their individual genetic make-up. Generally, the breed weighs between 16 to 32 pounds when fully grown. Males tend to be at the upper end of this range and females on the lower end. It is important to keep in mind that the size of a puppy may change drastically between 8 to 12 weeks old and their adult size. Regular check-ups with your veterinarian should help you stay on top of his or her growth.
Dachshunds enjoy activities like swimming, although the degree to which they enjoy it varies largely among individual dogs. Generally, they are comfortable in shallow water, where they tend to walk more than actively swim. Dachshunds that come from a strong waterfowl-hunting background may be more likely to enjoy swimming than those without a hunting heritage. To get your dachshund to enjoy swimming, it's important to provide plenty of positive reinforcement in the form of treats and lots of praise.
Generally, Dachshunds can learn to get along with other pets, though individual personalities and temperaments may influence the overall success of the relationship. In most cases, as long as proper socialization and introductions are made, Dachshunds can carefully co-exist with other pets, like cats, rabbits, and small dogs, as long as clear boundaries are established and respected. Be sure to ensure that all animals are safe in the process and that no one is put in a uncomfortable situation.
Dachshunds are intelligent canine companions who have plenty of wisdom to spare. With plenty of patience and training, these lovable and loyal dogs can learn just about anything their owners ask of them, from simple commands to more complex tricks and activities. Their eagerness to please and their keen attention to detail make them the ideal candidates for even more challenging tasks, such as agility and scent work. In addition to their intelligence, these canine companions have an adorable personality and an affinity for cuddles that make them great companions for nearly any family.
