Questions & Answers
Dachshunds are small yet sturdy dogs that possess an amusingly long, hotdog-like body shape paired with short, stubby legs. Interestingly, their name directly translates to "badger dog" in German, which is hinting at their ancestor origins – they were bred as hunted for badgers! Since then, Dachshunds have come a long way, somewhat leaving their badger-hunting days behind (but maybe leaving some of the playful spirit). Their lively and good-natured nature make them popular house pets.
Managing allergies is possible when living with Dachshunds, but it takes diligence. First, consider dog breeds that are less likely to trigger an allergic reaction, such as hypoallergenic breeds like the Schnauzer. If you already own a Dachshund, there are steps that you can take to minimize the symptoms associated with owning a pet with allergies. Vacuum frequently and dust all surfaces, including furniture, to reduce contact with pet dander. Keep your pet well groomed, bathed and brushed regularly to maintain a healthy coat.
Dachshunds are typically fed a high-quality, well-balanced diet that consists of several components tailored to their size and energy level. Depending on the level of activity for your pet, they can be fed a combination of wet and dry foods using portion control to help them stay healthy and maintain an optimal weight. Most Dachshund owners feed their pets a mix of high-quality wet and dry dog foods. Wet food can provide a balance of protein, carbohydrates, and fats; dry food often contains the same nutritional components as wet food but without as much water content.
The best way to prepare your home for your new Dachshund is to ensure that all common areas are puppy-proofed. Pet-proof your house by picking up items that could pose a threat for choking such as shoes, shoes laces, small toys, pencils, or any other items that could pose a risk. If you have stairs, consider gating them off, so that your puppy can learn to climb them on their own terms. Create a comfortable space by setting up a bed with cozy blankets and toys in an area away from any form of distraction.
Yes, Dachshunds are indeed considered small dogs. These dogs typically weigh less than 32 pounds when fully grown, making them smaller than many other breeds, such as the Labrador retriever. Although they may look small, don't be fooled; these dogs have an indomitable spirit and can even hold their own with larger dogs with their fearless, loyal personalities. Dachshunds may be small in size, but are big in personality and are excellent companions who will love and protect their families.
Dachshunds are an active and lively breed, so they need plenty of exercise. A daily walk of at least twenty to forty minutes is ideal, combined with periodic playtime that can involve interactive activities like fetch, hide-and-seek, tug-of-war, and puzzles. Additionally, they benefit from occasional longer walks and outings to the park. Be sure to provide a safe area for play and exercise, as Dachshunds can be prone to back problems. Consider setting up an agility course for them, to provide them mental stimulation and exercise.
Generally, Dachshunds do great with other pets, as long as they are accustomed to them from a young age. With proper introductions, Dachshunds can become very sociable animals and live peacefully in multi-pet households. They are typically friendly and nonaggressive to other pets, but should be monitored in the beginning to make sure there aren't any conflicts. It's important to be especially vigilant about introducing a Dachshund to cats as they may be tempted to chase them.
The amount of time per day you need to train your Dachshund depends upon a variety of factors, such as the size of your dog, age, breed, and experience level. For most breeds, 15-30 minutes per day is considered to be an adequate timeframe, although some may require less and some may need more. Furthermore, the type of training you are providing for your Dachshund also plays a significant role in the amount of time you should dedicate to training.
