Questions & Answers
Dachshunds are well known for being loyal, lively, and full of spunk. It's believed that the breed is derived from a cross between a Basset Hound and a Pinscher, making them strong and hard working. Their short, long body helps them to move quickly and also reach tight spaces. Additionally, they have a sensitive nose so make great hunters of burrowing animals. Some believe they originate from ancient Egyptian times for this reason.
Managing allergies with Dachshunds requires a few steps. Start by brushing and bathing your Dachshund regularly to reduce the amount of shedding. Keep the areas where your dog spends time well ventilated and free of dust and dander; vacuum your home frequently and wash their bedding weekly. Additionally, consider using pet-friendly grooming products, such as those designed for dogs with sensitive skin. If allergies persist, talk to your veterinarian to discuss potential solutions, such as medications or lifestyle changes.
Dachshunds can benefit from a balanced diet that meets their nutritional needs. That includes a high-quality complete and balanced dog food, such as dry kibble or wet food. While food should be the primary source of nutrition, table scraps can also be given in moderation. A variety of cuts of cooked meat, rice, vegetables, pasta, and other healthy foods can make for an interesting diet. Be sure to avoid any food that is not safe for dogs, like anything containing onions, raisins, chocolate, or grapes. Fresh water should be available at all times.
Yes, Dachshunds have several special requirements. First off, they require a diet that consists of high-quality proteins and fats in order to ensure their health and well-being. Additionally, their coats must be kept clean and brushed regularly, and their nails trimmed, as their nails can grow too long and damage their foot. They also need plenty of exercise, particularly given their strong hunting background; a dachshund must have opportunities to sprint and run in order to feel satisfied. Additionally, enough mental stimulation is needed to prevent destructive behavior.
Dachshunds come in four different sizes: standard, miniature, dwarf, and kaninchen. Standard dachshunds weigh between 16 and 32 pounds and typically measure 8-9 inches in height. Miniature dachshunds weigh 11 pounds or less and measure 5-6 inches. Dwarf dachshunds are even smaller at 4-5 inches tall and weigh less than 11 pounds. The smallest of the four sizes, kaninchen, stands at 3-4 inches tall and weigh only 3-5 pounds.
Yes, Dachshunds are highly active dogs! They have a lot of energy, enthusiasm, and spirit. Despite their diminutive size, they are full of life and can be a great addition to an active family. Dachshunds need plenty of exercise and challenges to stay mentally stimulated. Whether its brisk walks, playing a game of catch, or running around a dog park, your Dachshund will be sure to keep you on your toes. Proper care and attention is essential for any active breed, and Dachshunds are no exception.
Generally, Dachshunds can be quite good with kids assuming they are well socialized and given proper training. Dachshunds tend to be affectionate and loyal, making them excellent companions for children. When raised around kids, Dachshunds tend to be devoted to them and protective, often displaying a keen attention to their safety. These qualities, combined with their smal size, make them great pets for children.
There is no definitive answer to how many minutes per day you need to train Dachshunds, as it depends on the age of the dog, the desired skills you'd like to teach, as well as the individual nature and attention span of each pup. In general, it is recommended to keep training sessions relatively short so the pup can focus and retain their lessons. Anywhere from 10 to 20 minutes per day is a good start, with additional sessions as needed for particularly stubborn behaviors. If your pup is older and has fewer energy levels, shorter trainings will likely be more successful.
