Questions & Answers
Dachshunds are an adorable breed of hound. They are known for their long body and short legs! Here are some fun facts about this pup: Dachshunds were originally bred to hunt small game such as badgershence their nickname of "badger dogs". They come in a variety of coat colors and styles, including long or smooth hair. The breed is also available in miniature size, which is perfect for apartment living. Despite their short legs, Dachshunds can be amazingly fast runners.
Dachshunds have low shedding fur and a low dander production, so they are considered to be hypoallergenic. This means that those with allergies to pets have a lesser chance of having a reaction. That being said, people with allergies are still encouraged to take precautions when considering a Dachshund as a pet or to spend time around one. It would be wise to take a test-run of exposure first to see how the individual reacts.
Dachshunds, just like other puppies, should generally be fed a balanced diet of high-quality dog food with the correct amount of vitamins, minerals, protein, and carbohydrates. In addition to this, generally-available treats such as biscuits, rawhide, and pork-liver-flavored chews may be given in moderation as rewards for good behavior. It can also be beneficial to offer your Dachshund occasional meals of lean cooked meat, eggs, cheese, vegetables, and plain cooked grains.
Yes, Dachshunds do have special requirements. Because of their unique body shape, it is important to provide this breed with special care. It is essential to make sure that they get enough exercise, as over-exercising can cause spinal issues. Dachshunds are also prone to obesity, so provide your pet with nutritious food that has an appropriate caloric content. They should receive regular vet check-ups to ensure their weight stays in check.
Dachshunds come in a variety of sizes ranging from small usually thought of as ‘miniatures’ to standard sizes. Miniature Dachshunds, also known as ‘weenies’, are the smallest and usually weigh no more than 9-11 pounds. Standard Dachshunds range in weight from 16-32 pounds and typically measure between 8 9 inches tall at the shoulder when fully-grown.
Yes, many Dachshunds enjoy swimming. In fact, due to their bodies being long and low to the ground, they are natural swimmers. While some may take some time to get used to the pool, they are great at paddling and can become good swimmers.
Dachshunds are usually great family dogs due to their affection and loyalty. They thrive in a home environment, filled with different family members. Dachshunds are known for their friendliness with both adults and children, making them an excellent choice for a family pet. They typically have a lot of energy, but usually can be gentle and obedient when obedience-trained. They are also curious and can easily entertain themselves, if properly exercised. As long as they receive plenty of attention, Dachshunds can be great companions and provide a lot of love to your family.
Training a Dachshund is a process that requires an experienced pet owner and patience. While Dachshunds are loyal and loving, they can be stubborn and take some time to understand commands. Fortunately, their loyal and obedient personalities make them willing to learn. As with any breed, consistency in training and communication with your pet are essential. With a bit of effort, proper obedience commands, and positive reinforcement, such as treats and praise, a Dachshund can be well trained. Training your Dachshund may take some time and dedication, but it is ultimately worth it.
