Questions & Answers
Dachshunds are unique in the dog world due to their elongated, low-slung body and signature central ridge along their back. They were bred centuries ago as tracking and hunting dogs, and as versatile dogs, they can hunt anything from badger to boar, and even rabbits. Thus, their powerful hunting drives and instinct remain intact to this day, making them witty and courageous little dogs. Moreover, their natural tail-wagging can vary from slow and steady to furiously fast, providing a language of their own and making them comical to watch.
Dachshunds may rarely cause an allergic reaction in people. However, common triggers of pet allergies, such as dander, saliva and urine, can come from any breed of dog, so it is not possible to say definitively whether or not a particular breed of dog will cause you to have allergies. Keeping Dachshunds well-groomed and washing their bedding frequently can help reduce the potential of triggering an allergy.
Dachshunds require a balanced, high quality diet that is formulated for small breeds. Their diet should include dry kibble formulated to meet their age, size and energy level. It's also important to provide Dachshunds with canned food and other types of wet food to supply them with moisture and essential nutrients. It's very important that you seek advice from your veterinarian before feeding Dachshunds human food, treats or supplements. Additionally, Dachshunds should always have access to fresh, clean water.
Before you get a Dachshund, there are a few essential items you should consider purchasing. To start, a Crate or Kennel for your pup is important to help not only potty train but also teach your dog the rules of where they can and cannot go. A comfortable Dog Bed and good quality Dog Food should also be purchased to ensure your furry friend is well-tailed and taken care of. Since Dachshunds are incredibly active and love running around, you'll also want to get some chew toys, balls, and other interactive toys for them to play with.
The size of your Dachshund puppy will depend on the parents' genes and the puppy's sex. Generally, females will be smaller than males, and miniature Dachshunds will be smaller than standard Dachshunds. Typically, standard Dachshunds reach anywhere between 16 and 32 pounds as adults. Miniature Dachshunds are usually 11 pounds and under. However, Dachshunds can vary greatly in size, so your puppy may be larger or smaller than the average.
Dachshunds are generally not fond of swimming, but some may enjoy it. While these canines may be willing to dip their paws in the water and splash around, they shouldn't be expected to do any serious swimming. Some may find it uncomfortable due to their small legs and elongated bodies shaping them more for digging than swimming. It is important to make sure your Dachshund wears a life jacket or other preservers when near pools or other bodies of water as they may tire quickly or become disoriented.
Dachshunds can make great first-time pets for owners who understand their care needs and personality traits. While they are smaller in size, they require plenty of exercise and may be prone to barking, so some patience is needed. They do require brushing several times a week and regular nail trims to help maintain their health. Dachshunds enjoy spending time with their owners and can be quite independent, so a home with time to dedicate to their needs is ideal. Early socialization and obedience training are key to help curb any behaviors such as excessive barking or destructive tendencies.
Training a Dachshund can vary depending on their individual personality and temperament, but generally speaking, it is a relatively easy and rewarding process. Every Dachshund is unique and will respond differently to different types of training, so it's important to start with the basics and find what works for you and your pup. Taking an obedience class as a pup and following a disciplined routine throughout their life can help make the process easier. Patience, consistency, and positive reinforcement are key and you should reward desired behaviors while setting firm boundaries for undesired behaviors.
