Questions & Answers
Dachshunds, often called "wiener dogs" because of their short stature, are a unique breed of hound that has been around since the 1600s. They make wonderful family pets, thriving when they can get lots of attention from their owners. Dachshunds come in a variety of colors and their coats can range from short and smooth to longer and wirier. They can be boisterous and stubborn, but training and exercise will help keep them well-behaved.
Managing allergies with Dachshunds can be done in several ways; the type of action taken depends on the severity of the allergies. If you have mild allergies, the best way to control them is by regularly brushing and bathing your pet to keep its coat and skin free of allergens. It’s also important to clean its 'bedding' and brush its fur in different rooms of the house so that the allergens don’t accumulate in one area. If the allergies are more severe, then you may need to consider avoiding contact with the dog.
Dachshunds should not be fed chocolate, grapes, fatty food, or bones as these can be hazardous to their health. Additionally, due to their small stomachs, Dachshunds should be fed small meals often rather than one large meal. Table scraps should generally be avoided due to the fact that they can be high in fat and lack the necessary nutrients that Dachshunds need to stay healthy. It is also important to avoid feeding your dog foods like ice cream, cake, candy, or other human snacks that are high in sugar.
Dachshunds can require special care. They are prone to conditions such as intervertebral disc disease, which involves the nerves of the spine, and a deep chest cavity that makes them susceptible to bloating. They require a regular, low-impact exercise routine that includes short walks or playing fetch and regular vet check-ups. Grooming requirements include terrier-like ear cleaning and nail trimming, and their fur requires regular brushing.
Dachshunds come in a few different size varieties, typically separated into Standard, Miniature, and Toy. Standard Dachshunds can weigh up to 32 pounds and measure 8-9 inches tall at the shoulder, while Miniature Dachshunds max out at 11 pounds and 6-7 inches tall and Toy Dachshunds stay on the smaller side with max weights of around 6 pounds and heights of 5 inches or less.
Dachshunds, like all dogs, need physical activity to stay healthy. Generally, they need at least two 20 minute walks or one longer walk per day. Additionally, you can add challenging activities like playing fetch or agility training. There are a variety of ways to exercise your Dachshund both indoors and outdoors, such as walking, jogging, swimming, and interactive games. The amount of exercise will depend on your dog's age, size, and physical abilities. Older dogs may need less activity, while young or active dogs may require more.
Absolutely! Dachshunds are known for loyalty and true devotion to their families, making them such a great choice for family dogs. These lovable little dogs are highly intelligent and eager to please, making their training is usually easy. Dachshunds come in a variety of colors and sizes and get along well with children. A dachshund's even temperament and affectionate nature make them wonderful companions and playmates. All members of the family will appreciate a dachshund's happy-go-lucky attitude and love of cuddles.
Dachshunds are widely considered smart and clever dogs. It's true that their small size and charming looks might cause them to be underestimated, but studies have proved that these canines are capable of learning, retaining, and executing commands quickly and accurately. Their alert, friendly nature makes them great companions and capable working dogs. They also have the drive to succeed in relearning commands and expanding their learning throughout their lifetime. Dachshunds make great house pets because they are very intuitive and responsive to training. They remember commands and are adept at learning basic household rules.
