Questions & Answers
Dachshunds are an incredibly clever and agile canine breed! They have an impressively long lifespan for a small dog (up to 15 years). Dachshunds come in a variety of colors including black, chocolate, red and chestnut. Their miniature size is actually preferred for hunting small animals like rabbits and badgers, two of the most popular game animals in Germany where this beloved breed originated.
Managing allergies with Dachshunds can be a challenge. Firstly, it's important to maintain a good level of hygiene when living with a Dachshund. This can include vacuuming regularly, washing Dachshund bedding, and wiping down furniture and floors. Also, consider giving them regular baths with a hypoallergenic shampoo. Secondly, a good diet is crucial in controlling allergies, so try to feed them quality food that is specifically designed to manage allergies.
Dachshunds are relatively easy to feed, but some foods are off-limits to avoid digestive disturbances or more serious health problems. To ensure your pet's wellbeing, you should avoid feeding them chocolate and other sugary treats, dairy products, onions, garlic, grapes, and raisins. These foods can cause nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, or even organ failure. Additionally, never feed Dachshunds products containing xylitol, such as sugar-free gum, as this sugar substitute is extremely toxic.
To properly prepare your home for your new Dachshund, you should take steps to puppy-proof your home. This means securing potential hazards such as dangling cables and checking that everything is out of reach, as Dachshund puppies love to explore. You should also be sure to choose items like food bowls and a bed that are the right size for your Dachshund. Finally, think about investing in some toys, treats, and chews to keep your pup occupied and help with the bonding process.
Dachshunds come in two sizes: standard and miniature. Standard Dachshunds typically weigh 16-32 lbs and have an average height of 8-9 inches, while miniature Dachshunds are 5-6 inches tall when fully grown and weigh approximately 11 lbs. Dachshunds also come in a variety of coat types from short-haired to long-haired and wire-haired. When selecting a Dachshund, make sure to look at not only its size, but also its temperament, to ensure that it will fit your lifestyle and needs.
Yes, you can take your Dachshund running! This breed of dog is very adaptable to running; they're both fast and agile. However, you should always take into consideration your Dachshund's health and physical abilities before taking them out. They generally love long walks and may even be up for a light jog. Start short and slow and keep the distance relatively short until you know your pup can keep up with your pace.
Dachshunds can be excellent companions for first-time owners, as they are highly loyal and loving dogs. Dachshunds are intelligent, independent, and full of personality, so they require frequent mental stimulation. They are relatively small in size, so they can easily fit into any living space. They also do not need as much exercise as other breeds and adapt easily to different routines. Despite their small size, their relatively independent nature and protective instincts mean that they can make great watchdogs.
Training your Dachshund may initially seem intimidating, but with proper knowledge and a lot of patience, it can be a rewarding experience. To begin, it's essential to have a positive attitude and plenty of high value treats. Start basic commands such as 'sit' and 'stay', and make sure to consistently praise your Dachshund when they do something correctly. Also, keep sessions fun and short about 10 minutes or less as your pup can easily get overwhelmed. Next, teach your pup to walk on a leash without pulling.
