Questions & Answers
Dachshunds are an incredibly popular breed of dog known for their signature short legs and long bodies. Some fun facts about this special breed include: Dachshunds actually come in three sizes standard, mini and toy. Dachshunds were originally bred to hunt badgers and, to this day, have an instinctive drive to sniff out their prey. Because of their special conformation, Dachshunds have an impressive turning radius, allowing them to turn quickly and giving them the nickname “the doxie spin.
Managing allergies with Dachshunds can be done in several ways. First, it's important to keep your home as clean as possible, changing the air filters frequently and regularly vacuuming and dusting all areas of the home. Additionally, it is advisable to avoid stress for both you and your Dachshund which can further exacerbate allergies. Keeping dust and pollen levels low can also be accomplished by keeping windows closed and only temporarily and sparingly using outdoor space.
Dachshunds are versatile eaters who require a balanced diet of high-quality wet and/or dry dog food for optimal health. Wet food provides a boost of moisture that helps keep your Dachshunds skin and coat environment moist and healthy. A variety of dry kibble should make up their diet, as it promotes healthy teeth and gums. It's best to look for kibble that consists of meat, vegetables, and grains. Avoid any foods with added sugars, artificial flavors, and preservatives.
Before bringing a Dachshund into your home, you should make sure you are prepared. This can include picking out essentials like a comfortable bed or crate, food and water bowls, a leash and collar, chew toys, an identification tag, groomer and vet appointments either scheduled or marked on your calendar, and any food or treats that you might want to use. It's also a good idea to have a few treating supplies on hand like a brush, shampoo, and nail trimmer.
Dachshunds come in two sizes. The traditional Standard Dachshund is approximately 8-11 inches in height and a weight of 16-32 pounds. The Miniature Dachshund is 5-6 inches in height and up to 11 pounds in weight. Both sizes of Dachshund come in a variety of coats, from Short-Haired, Wire-Haired, and Longhaired. Some Dachshunds also come in special patterns such as Piebald, Brindle and Dapple.
Many Dachshunds do enjoy swimming due to their waterfowl roots. However, their low body mass index, short legs, and exceptionally long backs make them less efficient swimmers compared to other breeds. Whether a Dachshund likes to swim or not can also depend on the individual dog, as some dogs may have had traumatic or negative experiences with water in the past that impacts their attitude toward it. Besides, some Dachshunds may suffer from joint or back issues that can make swimming uncomfortable even in a shallow pool.
Dachshunds can make great first-time pets as they are loyal, sociable, and relatively easy to care for. They are small in size, making them easy to accommodate in smaller living spaces. Dachshunds tend to bond closely with their owners and are very affectionate. With the right amount of socialization and training, Dachshunds can get along well with other animals and children. They come in both short and long-haired varieties so there's something to suit everyone.
Training a Dachshund can be relatively easy when done the right way. Taking the time to properly introduce your pup to a structured environment is essential, and providing positive reinforcement when they display good behavior will go a long way. Teaching your pet simple commands like "Sit" or "Come" is one way to build a strong foundation for an obedient dog. Patience goes a long way, and although it may be tempting to use negative forms of discipline, positive reinforcement is the foundation for successful training.
