Questions & Answers
A Dachshund is a breed of dog originally developed to hunt small prey, such as rabbits and groundhogs. Also known as a "sausage dog" or "wiener dog", Dachshunds come in two varieties based on their size standard and miniature and two coat types smooth and long-haired. With their long, low body shape and short legs, Dachshunds are ideal for digging and squeezing into small burrows. Despite their small size, they are very energetic and can make great family pets.
Managing allergies with Dachshunds requires careful steps and good commitment from the pet owner. Firstly, keep the Dachshund groomed regularly to control the amount of pet dander in the house. Regular brushing and vacuuming of their coat helps to minimize the allergen exposure. Additionally, it is important to ensure areas of your home remain as clean and dust free as possible. Keep the dachshund's bedding and water/food bowls free from dust and dirt.
Yes, Dachshunds have their own special dietary needs. As active, energetic dogs, they require a balanced diet with a high proportion of proteins and fats for energy and to maintain a healthy weight. It is important to offer fresh, high-quality food in a specific ratio of proteins, carbohydrates, and fats, and increase or decrease portion sizes according to the pet's activity and current weight. It is also advisable to avoid important human food like chocolate and onions, which can be toxic to Dachshunds.
Preparing your home for your new Dachshund is an important step in welcoming them! To start with, make sure accessible areas and furniture are dog-proofed to ensure the safety of both your Dachshund and existing possessions. Create an indoor and outdoor space designated for them to play and exercise in, as Dachshunds are active little dogs that need plenty of entertainment. Ensure there is enough space for them to roam without running into valuable objects or furniture they can easily damage.
Yes, Dachshunds are generally considered small dogs. Because of their short, stubby legs and elongated bodies, they usually attain an average adult height of 8-9 inches and an adult weight of 16-32 pounds. Though Dachshunds are small in size, they have been known to be very lively and full of spunk. Regardless of this bustling energy, they make great housedogs and don't require much space. They also make wonderful and loyal companions, and are generally friendly to strangers and other animals.
Depending on your Dachshund's age, breed, and activity level, the exact amount of time you should walk your dog each day can vary. Generally, most Dachshunds should have at least 20-30 minutes of exercise each day or two short 10-15 minute walks. This exercise should incorporate some kind of mental stimulation as well, such as socialization or games like fetch. Also, keep in mind that smaller breeds, like Dachshunds, tend to tire more quickly than larger breeds so create shorter walks if necessary.
Dachshunds can typically get along with other pets, depending on the individual dog's demeanor and past experiences. Generally, early socialization helps in any situation where a new pet may be introduced into the home. Introductions should be done slowly, allowing the two pets to become accustomed to one another's presence before any contact is allowed. Keeping interactions positive during introductions helps to ensure that the pets will remain on good terms in the long run. Aggressive or disrespectful behavior should not be tolerated in order to maintain a peaceful coexistence.
Training a Dachshund can certainly be very rewarding, but is not always easy. Their playful and independent nature can make it a challenge to keep them focused and motivated. Establishing routines and rules is key to success, as is consistency. Rewarding good behavior with food, play and verbal appreciation are helpful tips that should not be overlooked. Teaching commands such as "sit," "stay" and "lay down" should be done in short sessions, rather than all at once. After mastering those, more complex commands such as "come" or "drop it" can be attempted.
