Questions & Answers
Dachshunds are a lively and entertaining breed. Did you know that they are related to badgers and that their body shape and long back were bred so that they could underground to help hunt and retrieve prey? Another fun fact is that not only were they bred to with a strong sense of smell, but they were also bred with strong barks to alert their owner once a hold was made. Lastly, their coat comes in a variety of colors and patterns — from brown, red, and cream to dappled and brindle — and they are all fun and beautiful.
Managing allergies with Dachshunds is possible with the right training and Know-how. First, it's important to understand that all dogs have dander and are capable of causing allergic reactions. Dachshunds are no exception. To minimize the impact of allergies, bathe and brush your Dachshund regularly, as this helps remove potential allergens. You should also vacuum your home regularly, as this helps to capture and remove these allergens. For further help, you may wish to consider using air purifiers and allergen-reducing sprays throughout the home.
When it comes to choosing the best food for your Dachshund, it's important to select one that is tailored to their specific dietary needs and energy level. Dachshunds are small, active dogs so they require a balanced diet that includes lean proteins, healthy fat sources, complex carbohydrates, fresh vegetables, and fortified supplements. It's best to purchase a dog food that is formulated specifically for their breed size, age, and activity level. Additionally, look for kibble that contains high-quality ingredients and offers all the essential vitamins and minerals that are necessary for your pup's health.
Preparing for a new Dachshund should include finding a veterinarian, purchasing necessary supplies, researching the breed, and providing a safe environment. The Dachshund is a unique breed that requires specific maintenance and care. As the breed is prone to certain health and back issues, it is important to identify a veterinarian who is knowledgeable in treating this type of dog. Supplies should include a comfortable and safe bed, enough water and food bowls, appropriate size and type of food, chew toys, and other items.
Absolutely! Dachshunds are considered small dogs, typically weighing only 16 to 32 pounds and standing at 8 to 9 inches in height. These dogs have a hearty appetite and strong personalities, but they still require less space and exercise than larger breeds. In fact, they are considered lap dogs or, “sausage dogs”, by many fanciers due to their small stature and loyal, affectionate behavior. Despite their small size, these hardy little dogs can hunt and patrol small areas such as porches and yards, making them ideal watchdogs.
Depending on the age and size of your Dachshund, it's recommended to give him or her 45 to 60 minutes of exercise per day. This can either be broken up into multiple outings or one long walk. Generally, the goal is to have a few walks of 15 to 20 minutes a day, but if your Dachshund needs a bit more activity, it's best to spread it out. Adding in a game of fetch or a slower pace to allow your pet to sniff and explore can make a longer walk enjoyable for everyone.
Dachshunds tend to get along well with children as long as they are properly socialized early on. These loving and loyal dogs can make wonderful companions for kids as they are intelligent, curious and full of personality. Dachshunds also enjoy spending time playing and cuddling with their families, so children would likely find them to be great playmates. Despite their small size, Dachshunds can be quite rambunctious at times, so it is important to teach kids to handle them with care and respect.
Training a Dachshund requires consistency and patience. Start by establishing control of the situation by setting expectations of behavior such as no jumping on people, coming when called or going potty in an appropriate area. Setting up reminders of desired behavior with positive reinforcement such as verbal praise and treats will help your Dachshund learn which behaviors are acceptable. Establish a consistent routine, practice commands such as sit, stay, down and come every day.
