Questions & Answers
Dachshunds, commonly known as wiener-dogs, are loving, loyal, and brave dog breed. Their back legs are many times longer than their front legs making them look like a sausage. They are an intelligent breed and known for being adventuresome and funny with lots of personality. They have a big bark that belies their small stature and can make good watchdogs. When it comes to exercise, it is important to know that they are a short but lively breed and need daily walking and playtime to stay healthy.
Dachshunds do not generally cause allergies, but it is possible depending on individual sensitivities. If you already suffer allergies or other sensitivities, it would be wise to spend some time with a Dachshund before having one of your own to ensure there is no reaction. The breed does shed hair, which can sometimes be problematic for allergy sufferers, but regular brushing and vacuuming should help limit any potential issues. Additionally, the breed is a robust and healthy one, meaning the chance of developing allergies as a result of them is reduced.
Dachshunds should not be fed grapes, raisins, or anything containing them as these can be toxic to them. Also, avoid feeding them tea, coffee, onion, garlic, and chives because these ingredients can be toxic to them. It's also best to avoid giving them high-fat table scraps as these can lead to excessive weight gain and related health issues. Additionally, Dachshunds should never be given bones that are small enough for them to swallow as these can damage their digestive system.
Preparing for a new Dachshund is an important task that requires a bit of forethought and planning. Before you bring your new pup home, make sure you're prepared with all the necessary items like food, bowls, beds, and toys. Some important things to consider are health care needs such as regular vet visits, administering flea and tick preventative, and spaying/neutering. Proper training and socialization is a must, so it's a great idea to plan ahead for puppy classes and other activities.
No, Dachshunds are not considered big dogs. They are known for being small, long-bodied dogs, typically weighing between 16-32 pounds. Though they may look larger due to their long frame, they are actually classified as small breed dogs. Despite their smaller size, they are quite brave and can make excellent watch dogs. Dachshunds are serious when it comes to protecting their friends and family!
Dachshunds typically need moderately intense exercise throughout the day. Long walks are essential, and they love to accompany their owners on a hike or a jog. Other exercise options for Dachshunds include mental stimulation activities like scavenging. In addition, providing dedicated playtime is a great way to keep them physically and mentally healthy. Make sure to have a few toys on hand for them, like a fetch toy, a chew, or a Kong toy filled with treats.
Absolutely! Dachshunds are wonderful family dogs. They are highly intelligent, loyal, and affectionate. They get along very well with children, especially when they're trained as puppies and get used to the kind of playing that's typical with kids. They're small but they have plenty of energy, and they make great running or walking companions. They have a naturally protective instinct and will alert you to anything out of the ordinary. A dachshund's acute sense of smell and enthusiasm for exploration make them curious and eager to learn.
The amount of time required to train a Dachshund can depend on the age, breed, and overall temperament of the dog. Generally speaking, a minimum of 30 minutes a day can go a long way towards providing your Dachshund with basic training and obedience, including potty, walking, and housebreaking. Certain commands such as stay, come, and sit may require more training sessions and extra time dedicated to teaching and reinforcing the commands. Additionally, any trick training could require more time as well.
