Questions & Answers
Dachshunds, or "Doxies," are an interesting breed that many dog lovers love. They are known for their small and elongated bodies, as well as their big, floppy ears. Fun facts about this breed are that they have an excellent sense of smell and hearing, and they also live quite long lives due to their small size. Dachshunds were originally bred for hunting small mammals, and use their long snouts and strong front legs to burrow into the ground.
Managing allergies with Dachshunds can be a challenge, but it's certainly doable. First and foremost, keeping the dachshund's fur at a manageable level will help reduce the amount of allergens in the air. Frequent brushing and occasional bathing will go a long way in keeping your dachshund's fur from becoming too long or matted. Additionally, the use of certain topical treatments can help reduce the production of the proteins in their skin that cause allergic reactions.
Dachshunds require a dog food that contains appropriate levels of fat and protein that are appropriate for their size and activity level. Many experts recommend a premium, grain-free diet that is specifically formulated for small-breed dogs. It should contain real animal-based proteins to ensure your Dachshund's muscles and joints remain healthy as they mature, and it should include essential fatty acids and antioxidants for optimal immune system health.
Preparation for bringing home a new dachshund should begin with doing your research. Knowing everything you can about the breed is hugely important; different breeds have different behaviors, personalities, and health requirements that must be addressed in order to give your new pup the best possible start to life. Also, it's important to ensure that your home is properly outfitted with things like a comfortable bed, toys and chew bones, and identifying your vet for regular check ups. Other considerations include basic obedience training, both for the dog's safety and keeping your living space free of damage.
Dachshunds, also called wiener dogs, come in two sizes Standard and Miniature. Standard size Dachshunds typically weigh 16-32 pounds and stand 8-9 inches tall at the shoulder, while Miniature Dachshunds weigh up to 11 pounds and are typically 5-6 inches tall at the shoulder. Miniature Dachshunds can stand taller or shorter than 5-6 inches or weigh more than 11 lbs and still be considered a Miniature.
Dachshunds need daily exercise to stay healthy; they are active and energetic dogs that love being active outdoors. Since they are bred for scenting and hunting, they also enjoy plenty of mental stimulation, such as going for walks, playing fetch, and agility activities. Generally speaking, owners should provide their Dachshunds with at least an hour of activity per day, split into two or three separate activities or sessions.
Dachshunds tend to get along well with other pets, as long as proper socialization is given and the other pets won’t be aggressive or dominant towards them. However, Dachshunds are known for their chasing instinct, so they may try to chase small animals such as cats and birds. Dog owners should pay attention to this trait when introducing them to other pets, in order to ensure all of the animals stay safe.
Training a Dachshund can both be easy and challenging depending on various factors. It is important to consider the breed’s temperamental traits, such as being stubborn and independent nature, because it can make training more challenging. Having consistent training and being consistent in implementing commands during training can help keep your Dachshund on the path of learning. Having patience with your remarkable companion and finding positive reinforcements, such as treats and praise, can further refine the process and keep your dog motivated to continue learning.
