Questions & Answers
Dachshunds are a unique type of breed, known for their short legs, cute, elongated body, friendly personality and distinctive barking. Dachshunds are loyal and loving companions that make great family pets. They are lively and inquisitive, and due to their small size, don't require a ton of exercise so can make good dogs for urban and suburban environments. They are also known for a range of coat colors and patterns, and some Dachshunds have been successful as show dogs.
Allergies can be a tricky problem when managing Dachshunds. First, it is important to determine what the underlying issue is. If it is a canine allergy, then there are some specific steps to take to help manage it. Start by checking the environment in which the dog lives this includes checking for any allergens that may be present like pollen, certain cleaning products, dust mites or pet dander. If possible, try to keep the environment as allergen free as possible. You can also bathe the dog regularly to help keep allergens away.
Owners of dachshunds should be careful not to offer their dogs foods that are not specifically formulated for them, as some can cause gastrointestinal distress or other serious health implications. Common item that dachshunds should not eat include processed meat, bones of any sort, mushrooms, onions, garlic, raisins, grapes, chocolate, sugary or salty snacks, and dairy products. Other items such as raw dough, avocado, apple cores, walnuts, and macadamia nuts can be hazardous depending on the quantity consumed.
While all breeds of dogs have their own individual needs and requirements, Dachshunds are especially unique because of their long, skinny body. They have special needs such as higher quality and more frequent grooming, proper nutrition, dental health, and more exercise to support their longer spine. It's important to make sure that your Dachshund is getting the right amount of exercise that is suited to its breed, size, and age.
Dachshunds are typically seen as small dogs, but size is relative and they can vary. Generally, depending on the type, they range from 5-35 pounds. It is possible for them to be seen as ‘big’ when compared to other, even smaller, dogs, but in comparison to larger breeds, like the Great Dane or the St. Bernard, they would be considered on the smaller side. However, their unique personality and charming traits more than make up for their size.
Dachshunds can enjoy swimming just like any other dog breed; however, it all depends on the individual pup. Some Dachshunds absolutely love the water while others may not enjoy it as much. It is very important to introduce your Dachshund to swimming at a young age, allowing them to become comfortable with the water and all that it entails. Begin by introducing your pup to shallow, warm water and work your way up to more challenging locations.
Dachshunds can make wonderful companions for families with children. With their loyal, devoted and lively nature, these dogs can be great around kids. They are also patient, relatively low-maintenance, and highly trainable. Not to mention they are small and low-to-the-ground, which makes them great around curious kids. Of course all dogs and children should be supervised during playtime. Housebreaking a Dachshund can be tricky, so it's important to be diligent and consistent in teaching the pup where and when it can be appropriate to go to the bathroom.
When answering the question “How many minutes per day do I need to train Dachshunds?”, it’s important to remember that every breed and individual dog may have different training needs. As such, it’s difficult to determine a “one size fits all” answer. Depending on the behavior you’re looking to manage and the level of advancement you’d like to achieve, trainers generally recommend 10-20 minutes a day to provide basic commands and commands designed for specific behaviors.
