Questions & Answers
Dachshunds have a unique history and personality that make them a popular breed! They were bred in Germany in the 18th century to hunt badgers – thus their nickname “weenie dog” – and have since become the family pet. Interestingly enough, they can range from standard size to miniature, and from smooth-coated to long-haired.
Managing allergies with Dachshunds typically requires two interrelated steps. First, it’s important to reduce exposure to allergens to reduce your symptoms—you can do this by brushing your Dachshund routinely to keep their fur free from allergens and regularly vacuuming to remove the allergens from your environment.
Dachshunds should not be fed chocolate, grapes, and raisins, as these can be toxic to them and cause serious problems. It is also important not to give Dachshunds food that contains a lot of fat, sugar, or salt, as this can disturb their blood sugar balance and cause weight gain. Additionally, Dachshunds shouldn't be given raw meat, as it can contain damaging bacteria. Avoid giving Dachshunds bones, even cooked ones, since these can splinter into sharp pieces and damage their digestive tract.
Yes, Dachshunds have some unique needs. While they generally have the same needs as other breeds, they require some extra attention due to their long, low body. Dachshunds need plenty of gentle exercise, preferably on even ground so their backs are properly supported. Being energetic, they'll need daily play and walks to keep them healthy and content. Being a hunting breed, their owner will need to be extra diligent in making sure they are never off-leash during walks.
Dachshunds are considered small to medium sized breeds of dogs, so they are not considered big dogs. Although their size may appear intimidating, they are usually categorized as either standard or miniature depending on their height. Generally speaking, miniature Dachshunds can reach heights of 8 9 in while standard Dachshunds reach heights of up to 11 in. Additionally, Dachshunds are relatively light in weight ranging from 16 32 pounds, again depending on the variety.
It is recommended that Dachshunds should get at least 30 minutes of exercise per day. Walking is an ideal activity to meet this requirement, but any activity that provides adequate exercise can be beneficial. Depending on the age and energy levels of your Dachshund, you may need to adjust this timeline accordingly. An older dog may need only 15 minutes or less of walking or other physical activity, while a younger dog may require more. If you have an active Dachshund, you may want to walk them for more than 30 minutes per day to keep them healthy and happy.
Dachshunds can make wonderful companions for families with children. They are usually affectionate and loving towards their humans, including kids, and they are also intelligent and playful. Training a Dachshund puppy from an early age is key to having a well-mannered, well-trained dog that can coexist with children. However, Dachshunds can be quite willful, so firm, consistent training is needed to remind them who's the boss. When socialized early and taught the right behaviors, Dachshunds are usually good with children.
Training your Dachshund requires patience and consistency. First, begin by creating a trusted bond with your pup; provide them with treats, treats, and more treats to ensure a good relationship between the two of you! You should also start with basic commands such as 'sit' and 'down', and be sure to reward your pup with lots of positive reinforcement with treats or praise. As your pup becomes more accustomed to the commands, move onto more advanced instructions like 'stay' or 'come'. You may need to repeat the commands multiple times until your pup learns the desired behavior.
