Questions & Answers
Dachshunds are an incredibly special breed of dog! An interesting thing about Dachshunds is that their name literally translates to "badger-dog" from German and many say that their shape is modeled after the badger. They originated in Germany over 400 years ago as a hunting breed. To this day, Dachshunds remain loyal and energetic pets, and they are incredibly social. On average, a Dachshund will live between 12 and 16 years.
Managing allergies with a Dachshund can be a challenging task. It is important to take a few precautionary steps to help reduce any potential for an allergic reaction. Make sure to vacuum frequently and bathe your Dachshund on a regular basis to help keep any unwanted dander from accumulating in the home. Choose pet-friendly grooming products and hypoallergenic bedding and blankets to reduce any potential for contact allergies. Additionally, if possible, keep the Dachshund out of the bedroom to reduce direct contact with allergens.
Dachshunds typically eat a high-quality dry or canned food formulated especially for small breeds. It is important to provide the right amount of food according to their age and size. For optimal nutrition, their diet should contain the correct balance of vitamins, minerals, proteins, carbohydrates, fats, and fiber. Feeding a variety of foods can also help give them variety, but it is integral to consult with your veterinarian first. Fresh fruits and vegetables can make an excellent addition to their diet, as can raw or lightly cooked meat, fish, or eggs.
Yes, Dachshunds definitely do have some unique requirements and considerations. First, they need lots of exercise since they are a high-energy breed, so daily walks and plenty of playtime are important. Additionally, they are prone to back problems, so they should be carried or lifted properly, and not allowed to jump off of furniture or take part in activities that could be too strenuous for their delicate spines. For their well-being, it's important that Dachshunds get in plenty of quality playtime and socialization with people and other dogs.
The size of your Dachshund puppy will depend on many factors, including their eventual adult size, if they are purebred or a mix, and their particular breed. Generally, most Dachshunds reach a full-grown size ranging from 8 to 9 inches in height and 11 to 16 pounds in weight, although this can vary from dog to dog. It's important to understand that your puppy will continue to not only grow in size, but also in strength and agility; if you expect a puppy to stay the same size as an adult, you will likely be disappointed.
A Daily walk is an essential part of owning a Dachshund. Generally, it's recommended that a Dachshund should go for at least 30-40 minutes daily, although the exact duration of a walk will vary depending on your dog's age, physical condition, and energy levels. You'll want to consider your Dachshund's age and physical abilities when deciding how much time to devote to walking each day. Puppies may require less time, while older dogs may require more.
Dachshunds can make great family pets and get along with children if they're socialized in the right way. On average, they tend to be gentle, friendly and good natured. When they're raised in a home with young kids, dachshunds can develop strong bonds of affection and loyalty with the whole family. With proper training, they learn to accept your children's playfulness and show affection in kind. As a general rule, it is important to supervise children when they are interacting with a pet and teach them how to properly interact with an animal.
Training a Dachshund can be a rewarding experience, but it is not necessarily an easy one. As with any breed, consistency, patience and dedication are key. Dachshunds can be naturally headstrong, but when properly trained they can be trusting, obedient and content companions. Training should be begun at an early age and should incorporate both proper socialization and obedience lessons. With the right approach, Dachshunds can be well behaved and happy members of the family.
