Questions & Answers
Dachshunds are some of the most interesting and charming breeds of dogs due to their humorous and courageous spirit. They have a natural curiosity that makes them seem like they're always up for an adventure. Additionally, they are known to be loyal, tenacious, and fearless against anything they deem as an enemy, be it a 3-pound opossum or a 200-pound man. Famously, they are referred to as "sausage dogs" due to their short legs and long body.
Dachshunds are not considered to be hypoallergenic dogs, although some may have less of an effect on those who suffer from allergies. Dander, the dead skin cells that cling to a dog's fur, is the cause of most dog allergies and Dachshunds are not any less likely to produce dander than other breeds. Frequent brushing and vacuuming can help reduce the amount of dander that is present, so if someone is trying to keep allergies to a minimum, they should manage their pet's coat on a regular basis.
Dachshunds are an intelligent breed of dog that like to keep their owners on their toes with their spunky attitude and playful nature. Their dietary needs can vary depending on their age and activity level, but generally speaking, these adorable dogs should be fed a high-quality kibble made from whole ingredients that will provide them with the protein, carbohydrates, fats, vitamins, and minerals that they need for energy and healthy development. It's best to check with your veterinarian to get a personal recommendation for your Dachshund based on their lifestyle and health.
Preparing for a new Dachshund requires planning and research. Take time to understand their specific needs, such as human companionship, exercise, potty training, and grooming. Then make sure to have the necessary supplies on hand, like a bed, leash, collar, and toys. For general health, research dog-friendly vets and updated vaccinations. Additionally, familiarize yourself with common Dachshund health problems. Feeding a balanced diet is important, so look into foods that are recommended for their overall well-being.
Dachshunds come in three different sizes: Standard, Miniature, and Kaninchen. The Standard size is the traditional size, typically fourteen to sixteen inches long with an adult weight of approximately sixteen to thirty-two pounds. The Miniature size is the smallest, between eleven and thirteen inches long with a maximum weight of eleven pounds. The Kaninchen size, which translates to “rabbit” in German, is smaller than the Miniature with an adult height of eight to nine inches and an adult weight of six to seven pounds.
Dachshunds can enjoy swimming, however they may not be as fond of the activity as other breeds. While some do embrace the water, and it can even become a fun pastime for them, others may require some encouragement. Dachshunds have a very dense coat which can make swimming more of a chore for them, and improper swimming technique may cause painful injuries, so many owners prefer to keep their Dachshund's time in water to a minimum.
Dachshunds can make wonderful pets for families with children. They are known for being energetic, loyal, and protective of their humans. As long as socialized properly from a young age, Dachshunds can live peacefully with children and adults alike. Dachshunds thrive off human interaction and tend to form strong bonds with their people. They can be playful and love to cuddle. They are small enough to take along on trips and adventures, and tolerant enough to provide endless companionship and entertainment.
Training a Dachshund is similar to training any other type of dog. You should begin by rewarding your Dachshund for good behavior rather than punishing it for bad behavior. Positive reinforcement and treats can go a long way in helping to condition your pup to be obedient. Additionally, using commands such as “sit” or “come” before giving a treat helps teach your dog to listen. Consistency is key when training a Dachshund. Each time you give a command, be sure to repeat it in the same way and at the same time.
