Questions & Answers
Dachshunds are a distinct breed of canines that originated in Germany. They are small yet powerful breeds with elongated, muscular bodies and short legs. The breed is also known for its bold, assertive personalities and independent nature. They often act as guard dogs, bark a lot, and can be slightly stubborn. Dachshunds are usually identified by their signature color markings, such as red, cream, black and tan, blue, or chocolate, and their coats can either be long or short depending on the breed.
Dachshunds typically do not cause allergies, however allergies can be caused by the dander and saliva of any breed of dog, so it's possible that you may be allergic to a Dachshund. Generally, breed characteristics are not the best predictor of who might be allergic to dogs as even small, short-haired breeds can cause allergic reactions. To better determine if a Dachshund is the right breed for you, consider conducting a patch test to determine if you develop an allergic reaction solely to the dander of a specific breed.
Dachshunds should never be fed chocolate, as it is toxic for them and can lead to serious health issues. Additionally, fatty foods like meats with high fat content or a lot of grease, as well as salty human foods should be avoided as they can cause pancreatitis in dogs. Grapes and raisins are also dangerous for Dachshunds, and can cause fatal kidney failure if ingested.
Preparing your home for a new Dachshund is an exciting task. To ensure your pup's safety, create a safe and comfortable environment with the following steps. First, be sure to puppy-proof your home install safety gates to prevent your pup from accessing forbidden areas, cover exposed wires and cords, and anchor furniture so it won't slide. Second, make sure you have the necessary supplies on hand including bedding, water and food bowls, dishes, a brush, collar, and leash.
Dachshund puppies come in two sizes standard and miniature. Standard Dachshunds typically reach an adult height of eight to nine inches at the shoulder, and will weigh 16 to 32 pounds. Miniature Dachshunds are usually five to six inches tall and weigh 11 pounds or less. However, the exact size of your Dachshund puppy will depend on its parentage, as well as genetic and environmental factors. For example, puppies being fed a high-calorie diet may grow faster or larger than those with a lower-calorie diet.
Dachshunds are actually quite active dogs, as their German heritage and development as a hunting dog has meant that they were bred to be alert and engaged. They typically have a lot of energy and stamina, and can be quite adventurous. Dachshunds also have a tendency to be curious and are notorious for digging and conquering obstacles. That said, they are usually quite content with an active lifestyle, needing regular exercise to stay healthy and content. It is wise to be mindful of their need for activity when choosing a Dachshund as a pet.
Dachshunds are generally good with children when both are properly socialized and trained. With patient and consistent training, a Dachshund can be the ideal family pet for kids of all ages. Dachshunds are loyal, affectionate, and highly intelligent. They make great playmates and can provide enjoyment and companionship to any child. One of the most important things to consider when deciding if a Dachshund is a good fit for your family is that they can be quite rambunctious and excitable at times.
The amount of minutes you need to train a Dachshund each day will depend on the age and skill level of the pup, as well as the desired results. Ideally, if you can spare the time, you should start by training your pup for 15 minutes twice a day. As your pup learns the fundamentals it's best to add an additional 5 minutes to each session, so that their training can be continuously reinforced. Over time, when your pup responds to commands more reliably, you can reduce the training sessions to once a day for 15 minutes plus 5 minutes of reinforcement.
