Questions & Answers
Dachshunds, which are also known as 'wiener dogs' or 'sausage dogs', are low-to-the-ground, long-bodied, short-legged powerful little canines of the hound family. They are smart, loyal, and devoted companions who can be very clownish in behaviour. As they were originally bred to hunt, they usually have a strong chasing instinct, so it's important to be consistent with reinforcement to help them learn the house rules. As an active breed, they need daily exercise to help maintain their physical and mental well-being.
Managing allergies when it comes to Dachshunds can be achieved through grooming and cleaning. To start, purchase an appropriate brush that will reduce the amount of hair flying around the house. Additionally, invest in an air purifier, or simply open up the windows to create an airing-out environment. Regular vacuuming of couches, carpets and furniture should also be a routine habit. Furthermore, reducing contact with the Dachshund by limiting their access to furniture--including restricted access to bedrooms--and building regular outside playtime, can help to minimize symptoms.
Dachshunds require a diet that is high in protein and low in fat in order to maintain a healthy weight. A high-quality kibble with limited added ingredients is best, as well as small amounts of fresh fruit and vegetables. The kibble should be specially formulated for small-breed dogs. When selecting treats, always make sure to check the contents for any artificial additives, such as fillers and by-products. You should also avoid giving them treats that are high in fat, sugar, salt, and preservatives.
Preparing for a new dachshund is a big responsibility that requires commitment and consideration. First, consider the space your new pet will occupy. Make sure you have somewhere cozy and comfortable that the dachshund can hide and snooze away from everyone and everything. Get essential items like a food and water bowl, toys, bedding, brushes, and a leash or other necessary areas that can fit with the size of the dachshund. It is also important to research the appropriate diet for a dachshund to ensure it is meeting all of its nutritional needs.
Yes, Dachshunds are classified as small dogs. Their small size and long, slender build make them ideal for apartment living or other small spaces. Dachshunds can range in size and weight, with the smallest breed being the miniature dachshunds that reach only 8-10 inches in height and between 8 and 11 pounds in weight, while the standard dachshund can be up to 16 inches in height and 22 pounds in weight. Generally speaking, dachshunds tend to have shorter coats that require minimal grooming.
While Dachshunds typically don't seek out swimming as a recreational activity, they are actually quite capable and can learn to love being in the water. Most Dachshunds have a natural affinity for water and instinctively know how to swim, though they may appear to 'dog paddle'. However, this does vary from dog to dog so the best way to find out if your Dachshund enjoys swimming is to take them to a safe body of water and let them explore for themselves. It is important to take safety precautions when letting your Dachshund swim.
Generally speaking, Dachshunds get along well with other pets in the household as they are friendly and sociable by nature. It is important to remember, however, that all relationships take time and patience to develop, so it is important to provide a safe introduction and nurturing environment for all pets involved. Moreover, it is important to allow each animal to set their own boundaries by providing enough space for personal comfort and safety. Also, positive reinforcement such as rewards and praise can help to promote good relationships between the pets.
Training a Dachshund requires a combination of patience, consistent reinforcement, and lots of positive reinforcement. You will have better results if you break your training sessions into manageable chunks, and reward your Dachshund with treats and praise for good behaviors. Start by teaching your Dachshund basic commands, like sit, stay, and come. Once they understand basic obedience, you can move on to more difficult commands, such as addressing issues like barking or digging.
