Questions & Answers
Dachshunds are full of fun facts! It is believed that dachshunds were bred hundreds of years ago in Germany to hunt small animals like badgers. Even though they are relatively small dogs, they are capable of chasing down their prey and going to great lengths to get it! Furthermore, they have an impressive lifespan with many living to be more than 15 years old. Additionally, dachshunds come in two distinctive sizes which are the standard and miniature size. These little pets also come in a variety of colors! From solid to combined ones.
No, Dachshunds are not hypoallergenic. Dachshunds have a double coat of fur that, while short and smooth on the outside, is typically thick and dense on the inside. The thickness of their coats make them prone to shedding, which can pose an increased risk of spreading allergens in the air. If you have allergies, Dachshunds don't make the best of pets as they can trigger allergic reactions in sensitive individuals.
Dachshunds do tend to have specific dietary needs. As a breed, they are small dogs and have relatively sensitive digestive systems. Because of this, Dachshunds require a diet specifically designed to meet their energy needs while providing balanced amounts of vitamins and minerals. High-quality, protein-rich diets that include carbohydrates and healthy fats should be offered, as should the inclusion of some immune-boosting supplements and nutritious snacks. It is important to feed your Dachshund the correct amount of food, as small breeds are prone to obesity.
Becoming the best puppy parent for your Dachshund requires a lot of commitment, patience, and understanding. Make sure to provide your puppy with a comfortable, safe, and stimulating environment. Research the breed to learn about its distinct personality traits so that you can anticipate and cater to the puppy's needs. Provide plenty of exercise, mental stimulation, socialization and affection. Establish and enforce consistent rules so that the puppy can learn how to behave within your home. Make sure to remain consistent in how you handle rewards and punishments. Above all else, be patient and loving!
Dachshunds come in three sizes Standard, Miniature, and Toy. The Standard Dachshund is the largest, typically weighing in at 16-32 pounds and measuring 8-9 inches at the shoulder. The Miniature Dachshund is usually around 11 pounds and 5-6 inches at the shoulder, while the Toy Dachshund is the smallest and weighs less than 11 pounds with a shoulder height of 4-5 inches. While all sizes have the same long-bodied silhouette, the various sizes of Dachshunds offer something for every lifestyle.
Dachshunds may enjoy some supervised swimming activity, as it can be a great way to exercise and cool off in hot weather. That being said, it's important to remember that Dachshunds are not natural swimmers and are more prone to fatigue, due to their elongated bodies. If swimming is to be pursued, it's best to start with shallow water, a life jacket, and plenty of supervision to help the pup maintain their balance and keep from overexerting themselves.
Dachshunds can make excellent companion animals for children when managed correctly. They can form a deep bond with their families and are generally very loyal, loving, and gentle with their people. Due to their size, a Dachshund can be particularly ideal in households with young children who aren't capable of physical punishment. However, it is important to teach kids the proper way to interact with dogs and never leave young children and a Dachshund together unsupervised.
Training a Dachshund can be a rewarding experience, but it is important to remember that Dachshunds are not known for their obedience. They can be strong-willed, stubborn, and independent, making them difficult to train for new behaviors. With the right amount of time and dedication put into it, however, training a Dachshund can be possible. It is important to consistently reinforce positive behaviors and to stay consistent with training methods to achieve the desired results.
