Questions & Answers
Dachshunds are of the Hound Group of Dogs. They are long-bodied and short-legged dogs, bred initially to hunt badgers. Dachshunds have long ears, short, almost straight legs and a long tail. Depending on their coat, they may look smooth, wire-haired or long-haired. They come in a variety of colors and color combinations as well. Dachshunds were originally bred to hunt small game, like badgers and rabbits, so they can be quite active and are known to be devoted, brave and loyal companions.
Managing allergies with Dachshunds is a matter of good hygiene and awareness. Keeping your Dachshund clean is an important key to reducing allergens. Brush your Dachshund several times a week, vacuum the house regularly, use an air purifier, and especially keep the Dachshund out of the bedroom if anyone in the house is allergic. Using a pet-friendly detergent on soft items such as bedding, cushions, and all other fabrics will help reduce allergens.
Dachshunds are active little dogs and need food that can support their energy and provide the necessary nutrients for overall good health. To determine the best dog food for your Dachshund, you'll need to take into consideration his age, size, health concerns and lifestyle. If your dog has any specific dietary needs, such as allergies, sensitivities or weight management, those should be factored in as well. The best dog foods for Dachshunds are those that are rich in healthy fats, proteins, carbohydrates, vitamins, and minerals.
Yes, Dachshunds have some special requirements. They need a firm yet consistent hand to help reinforce obedience. The breed is known for having a strong will, so if commands aren't reinforced or accepted, training can become very difficult. Dachshunds are also known for being hardy and energetic. Due to their size, Dachshunds may be prone to hip dysplasia, so plenty of exercise is needed to ensure good muscle tone and prevent joint problems.
Whether or not Dachshunds are considered big dogs depends on how you define "big." On average, Dachshunds stand from 8 to 9 inches at the shoulder and weigh between 16 and 32 pounds, which is relatively small when compared to other breeds. However, some potential owners may consider a Dachshund a big dog due to its long body and lifespan, which can be up to 15 years. Typically, Dachshunds require more room to move around than some of the smaller dog breeds, as well as access to the outdoors.
Dachshunds, like many other breeds, have an affinity for swimming and can greatly enjoy a dip in the pool or lake. In fact, these dogs are quite popular amongst their humans amongst those who take part in doggy-paddle or canine-surfing sports. Generally speaking, swimming offers a fun and stimulating way of exercise for the Dachshund, giving them a break from running during a time of active play. To ensure safety when swimming, owners should fit their furry friend with a well-fitted life jacket and an appropriate swim toy as well as proper instruction.
Generally speaking, Dachshunds can make good family pets, and can be great with children. They tend to display loyal, loving, and affectionate personalities, and their size makes them difficult to injure unintentionally. However, their temperament can sometimes be unpredictable and their independent nature means that they may not put up with young children tugging on their fur or ears. They may also bark in an attempt to protect their owners if they feel threatened, so it is important to ensure children know how to interact with pets safely.
There is no one-size-fits-all answer to this question as the amount of time required to adequately train a Dachshund varies from individual to individual. Generally speaking, however, a dedicated Dachshund trainee should plan to commit at least 20 minutes per day to training their pet. This time should be broken up into several positive reinforcement training sessions that will teach the dog how to obey commands and develop good behaviour.
