Questions & Answers
Dachshunds are some of the most beloved family pets in the world! These delightful canines can trace their ancestry back to the 15th century, and are known for their courageous and loyal personalities. Fun facts to know about Dachshunds include that they can come in two different sizes – standard and miniature! They all have short legs, long bodies, and five toes, with three of them underneath the body. Dachshunds love to play and exercise, and they make great companions for children.
Dachshunds are generally considered to be non-allergenic because they don't shed excessively, so you should not be affected by allergies. However, if you suffer from severe pet allergies, it is still possible to be allergic to a Dachshund, since all dogs produce protein in their saliva and skin, as well as dander and urine, which can trigger allergic reactions. To ensure whether or not you are allergic to a Dachshund, discussing your allergies with your allergist and taking an allergy test can help.
Finding the best dog food for your Dachshund depends on several factors like your budget, their age and activity level. It's typically recommended that you choose a food that's specific to their breed. There are several brands that offer breed-specific formulas designed to meet the special dietary needs of Dachshunds. Generally speaking, dog food for Dachshunds should contain high-quality ingredients, including meat protein as the main source, with as few artificial ingredients as possible. For picky eaters or dogs with allergies, you may want to consider limited ingredient dog food.
Preparing for your new Dachshund is a fun but important process in order to ensure your pup and family have as successful of an adoption experience as possible. You should familiarize yourself with knowledge around the breed's personality and behavior, which will enable you to provide the care and attention they need. Do some research into what items you'll need to provide to keep your pup safe and comfortable, including food, water and treats, toys, a crate, a collar and leash, and potty pads or an outdoor area.
Dachshunds generally come in two sizes standard and miniature. A standard sized Dachshund can weigh between 16 and 32 pounds and stand between 8 and 9 inches tall. A miniature Dachshund will typically weigh between 11 and 16 pounds and stand between 5 and 7 inches tall. When it comes to their length, the standard size will range from 16 to 32 inches and the miniature size from 12 to 16 inches. Therefore, standard Dachshunds can be up to double the size of a miniature.
Although many Dachshunds enjoy playing in water and even swimming, this is not a trait that comes naturally to the breed. Some Dachshunds take more naturally to water than others, so it is important to introduce them to the water gradually. For example, by taking them to shallow bodies of water and allowing them to acclimate to the temperature and motion of the water. When it is time to introduce swimming, start off slowly and reward them for any progress they make. With enough patience and training, most Dachshunds can learn to love swimming.
Dachshunds can get along with other pets if the proper steps are taken to ensure the relationships are harmonious. Socialization is key when introducing a Dachshund to a new home that already has other pets. It is important to keep each pet separated first, to allow them to gradually get used to each other's scent. Slowly introducing them in controlled and supervised environments with positive reinforcement such as treats can help reinforce good behavior.
Training a Dachshund is not necessarily an easy process, but it is possible with consistency, patience and positive reinforcement. It's important to establish yourself as the 'pack leader' and set limits from the start. Desensitize your pup to noises, people and other animals.You should also begin basic training for obedience commands such as coming when called, sit, stay and walk on a leash. Dachshunds can also be taught tricks such as roll over, high five, balance a treat on their nose and many more.
