Questions & Answers
One of the most interesting things about Dachshunds is their unique body shape. Unlike many other dog breeds, Dachshunds are long and low to the ground, which lends them a reliable hunting ability. When sight-hunting prey, they are able to stay close to the ground and navigate quickly through tight areas. Not only does this give them an advantage over their other canine counterparts, but it also makes them incredibly cute! Dachshunds come in a variety of colors and coat types, adding to their fun-loving and lively character traits.
Managing allergies with Dachshunds requires a few tips to help minimize exposure to allergens. Firstly, make sure to keep your home clean and free of any kind of dust or pollen. Vacuuming the floors and furniture, washing bedding and clothing items regularly, and dusting off flat surfaces regularly are all important steps to reducing exposure to allergens. Secondly, look for pet-safe shampoos that are specifically designed for allergies, as this can help reduce the amount of dander your Dachshund sheds.
Dachshunds have sensitive digestive systems, so it's important to avoid feeding them food that could cause stomach distress or other health concerns. Specifically, you should avoid feeding them any bones or table scraps, as well as high-fat foods such as sausage or bacon. Additionally, chocolate, onions, garlic, and grapes can all be toxic for Dachshunds, so anything containing these ingredients should be avoided. Dachshunds should also not be given any human food with added sugar, salt, or other seasonings, as it can upset their stomach and disrupt their diets.
If you want to become the best possible parent for your Dachshund, the first thing you should do is learn about the breed. Research their history, temperament, and behavior so you can know what to expect from your pup from both a physical and mental perspective. Of course, obedience training is also key for any dog, and Dachshunds in particular can be a bit stubborn, so be sure to enroll in a class that caters to them specifically. Additionally, be sure to give them plenty of attention and love.
Dachshunds typically reach heights of approximately 8-9 inches at the shoulders with their overall length typically falling in the range of 18-32 inches depending on the variety. Generally speaking, Dachshunds range from 8-11 lbs, though individual variations in size and weight do exist. Along with their small size, Dachshunds also possess a variety of coat types, from shorthaired to wirehaired as well as longhaired and can come in a variety of eye-catching colors and distinct markings.
Dachshunds are not natural swimmers, but that doesn't mean that they don't like it. For example, if they are introduced to swimming during puppyhood, some Dachshunds may grow to enjoy it. However, you should always monitor your pup when they are in water and never leave them unsupervised. Many Dachshunds simply prefer to watch from a safe distance rather than jump right in, which is perfectly fine. To ensure your pup's safety, you should use a properly fitting life vest designed with their particular size and shape in mind.
Dachshunds are great companion pets that do very well with other pets, as long as proper socialization is provided. They love to be with their family and are very loyal and friendly with people, so it’s likely their affinity towards humans will translate to other pets. With their love of having a pack, they will often look to fit in and make friends with any pet they meet.
Training a Dachshund is not necessarily easy, but it is possible. Depending on the breed or mix of the individual Dachshund, it might take more or less effort, but generally, with patience and consistency, most owners can train their Dachshunds. It is important to remember that these breeds are energetic, clever and independent. This means that the training process should be positive, rewarding and consistent. Obedience training and social agility classes are beneficial to develop skills and provide discipline.
