Questions & Answers
Dachshunds are a unique breed of dog with a lot to offer. They have short stature and long bodies, which make them an ideal house pet. They are known to be social and friendly dogs, and are great for cuddling up to. Dachshunds are known to be quite loyal and courageous, though they can be quite stubborn at times. They are also known for their strong sense of smell and affection for their owners, making them a great companion. Given their strong personalities, they do require consistent and patient training.
Dachshunds are considered to be low or non-shedding breeds, which is great news for pet parents who are looking for a dog but don't want to deal with the seemingly endless shedding that can come with them. That said, even if they are considered reduced shedding dogs, Dachshunds still do shed and produce dander, which can cause allergies. However, due to their short coat, these dogs are not as prone to shed as some of their longer-haired canine peers.
Dachshunds should not be fed any human foods, such as chocolate, coffee, garlic, onions, or alcohol. These can be toxic and cause health problems, especially chocolate which contains theobromine, which can be deadly to dogs. Additionally, avoid giving them foods that are high in fat, such as nuts, as this can cause pancreatitis. They should also not be egg, bones, rawhide, dental chews, or pork products, and any foods that contain high levels of sugar, such as candy.
To prepare your home for a new Dachshund, you should create a safe and comfortable environment. Secure any hazardous items and be aware of items such as small toys and other objects, as they could be a choking hazard. Remove anything with sharp edges that your new Dachshund could scratch itself on. Designate a space in your home for the Dachshund with a comfy bed, water bowl, and food bowl. Limit the access that the Dachshund has to the entirety of the home until it is sufficiently house trained.
It is hard to predict the exact size your Dachshund puppy will be when full grown, but typically Dachshunds can reach heights of 5-9 inches and usually weigh in between 16-32 lbs. Size can also depend on a variety of factors such as genetics, diet and amount of exercise. If you have your heart set on owning a larger Dachshund, it is best to research different types of the breed to ensure you find the right one for you.
Dachshunds thrive when they get plenty of exercise. To keep these active little dogs healthy, it is important to make sure that they get a daily routine of moderate activity. This should include a regular walk or jog around your neighborhood, along with a few supervised sessions of playing in an enclosed area each day. It is important to remember that Dachshunds are very prone to developing back problems so take care to only participate in activities that place no strain on your pup's back.
Dachshunds are typically friendly and sociable in nature, and when properly introduced, they typically get along well with other pets. Properly introducing your Dachshund to any other pets is important in setting the stage for a healthy relationship between pets. Gradual introduction between pets, in a controlled setting, will help ensure the Dachshund and any other pets form a good relationship. With consistent training and positive reinforcement, Dachshunds will no doubt learn to greet other pets politely and continue to share a balanced and healthy relationship with them.
Dachshunds are indeed considered to be intelligent dogs possessing resourceful skills and a strong sense of loyalty. Often referred to as the "sausage dog", Dachshunds have a deep potential for learning basic commands and tricks, making them a great companion. Dachshunds have the unique ability to remember and respond to their owners' commands with superb accuracy, and they are well-known for their agility, making them great candidates for agility contests and other types of obedience competition.
