Questions & Answers
Dachshunds are small, long-bodied dogs of the hound family. They are also known asweenies. Dachshunds come in two sizes: standard and miniature, and their coats may be wirehaired, longhaired, or smooth. Dachshunds are distinguished by their short legs and long body which make them excellent for digging. Despite their small size, they are known for their courage and loyalty. With a lifespan of 12-16 years, Dachshunds make a wonderful addition to the family.
Managing allergies with Dachshunds can be done by regularly grooming and vacuuming, as dander from the dog's fur, along with saliva and urine, causes the majority of reactions in humans. Proper nutrition and a regular exercise plan can also help maintain the dog's health. If possible, it is best to minimize allergens by using hypoallergenic products like beds, blankets, and furniture covers. Additionally, having a daily plan of cleaning the house, such as washing bedding and curtains and wiping surfaces, can reduce the dander in the home.
Dachshunds should not be fed anything with a high fat content, as this can cause digestive problems. Additionally, due to their long, thin form, the dachshunds' backs are prone to injury. As such, they should avoid any bones, as splintering could potentially cause enormous discomfort, if not harm. Furthermore, processed foods such as those that contain preservatives, sugar, or dyes can be incredibly unhealthy and should also be avoided.
Preparing your home for a new Dachshund is an important part of the pet-owning experience. To ensure your pup's safety and comfort it is necessary to create an environment conducive to their needs. First, it is important to puppy proof your home, by looking for any sources of potential danger such as any sharp edges, small items, or dangerous electrical cords. While they may seem adorable, having all of these hazards out of the way will prevent your pup from getting hurt.
Dachshunds are not considered big dogs compared to their size classification in the hound group. Depending on which breed of Dachshund you have, they can range in size from a Miniature Dachshund to a Standard Dachshund. Typically, Miniature Dachshunds will weigh less than 11 pounds and be approximately 8-9 inches tall at the shoulder. Meanwhile, Standard Dachshunds can weigh over 12 pounds and be up to 12-15 inches in height.
Most Dachshunds do not enjoy swimming and often find it difficult due to their short legs and long, curved body shape. But with the right encouragement, they can come to see that swimming is a fun activity. Specialized floatable dog vests can be used to help buoy their bodies and provide the extra confidence they need to get in the water. For safety, always make sure the water is shallow enough for them to stand on their hind-legs; and it is best if a human is with them in case of any difficulty.
Dachshunds can be a great choice for first-time owners, as long as they have done their research ahead of time to make sure they can provide the right kind of home for these dogs. Dachshunds are very intelligent, loyal, and independent, with some of the most recognizable personalities in the dog world. They are also active, full of energy, and require daily exercise and stimulation, making them great for families who love being outdoors and active.
Training your Dachshund should be a team effort between you and your pup. To ensure your pup’s success, use positive reinforcement, be consistent with your commands, and break down the training into small, achievable goals. Start by instilling basic commands such as “sit” and “stay.” When your Dachshund understands basic commands, you can move onto more complex training like agility classes or tricks. Make sure to practice regularly with your pup by breaking training into short, engaging sessions. Praise and reward your pup every time it does something correctly.
