Questions & Answers
Dachshunds are a class of hound that is part of the large group of hunting dogs. These medium-sized dogs are often known for their iconic long bodies and short legs. Dachshunds have reportedly been around since the late 1500s, originating in Germany and originally intended to scent, chase, and flush out badgers and other burrow-dwelling animals. Today, Dachshunds are also popular family pets, known for their playful and friendly demeanor and ease of training.
Managing allergies with Dachshunds requires some special consideration. First of all, if you or someone in your house has severe allergies, you may want to take steps to reduce dander in the home environment such as dusting, wiping surfaces with damp cloths, and vacuuming frequently. It's also a good idea to brush and groom your Dachshund regularly to prevent excess shedding and dander buildup. To further reduce irritation, consider switching your Dachshund's diet to an allergen-friendly diet that is free of proteins and chemicals that can cause a reaction.
Depending on your Dachshund's age, size, weight, and activity level, the food that you should feed them will vary. For your Dachshund, it's important to consult with your veterinarian and look for an ageor weight-appropriate formula that specifically meets their dietary needs. High-quality dry kibble that is grain-free and enriched with DHA and EPA fatty acids is an excellent source of nutrition for your Dachshund.
If you're thinking of getting a Dachshund, the best thing to do is be prepared. You should make sure to have a variety of essentials lined up before you bring home your new pup. For starters, a collar and leash should be the first things you buy, as well as some tasty and nutritious dog food. You'll also want to purchase a comfortable dog bed as well as some durable toys they can chew on and keep themselves entertained. Don't forget treats for training, and make sure to invest in a brush and toothbrush to help keep your pup looking and feeling their best.
Dachshunds come in three sizes standard, miniature, and "tweenie". The standard Dachshund is the largest, weighing up to 32 pounds and standing 8-9 inches at the shoulder. Miniature Dachshunds weigh 11 pounds or less and measure 5-6 inches at the shoulder. The "tweenie" size, a unique size which falls between standard and miniature, generally weighs between 11-16 pounds and stands 6-8 inches at the shoulder.
Walking your Dachshund is an important part of their health and wellbeing. Ideally, you should aim for around 30 minutes of walking per day. This should be done in one session and may require two shorter walks if your Dachshund's age or health condition limits the duration. Making sure to take your Dachshund on regular, safe walks that include different terrain and activities throughout the day is the best way to ensure their health and happiness. Be sure to factor in breaks from the weather, if necessary, and avoid over-exertion.
Generally speaking, Dachshunds make great family pets as they tend to get along well with children. These intelligent and loyal dogs often develop strong bonds with their family members, and form close relationships with children. They will often patiently play games or watch television with a young, gentle child, or lay by their side while they color or read. Dachshunds are active, funny, and affectionate companions who will usually require minimal grooming and exercise, making them ideal for busy families.
Training a Dachshund can be a challenge, but it is also very rewarding. Before training your pup, make sure to build a bond with your pup and create a rapport. A puppy needs to trust their trainer in order to learn quickly and effectively. Start out training for short amounts of time throughout the day, and as your pup progresses, you can increase the duration of the training sessions. Positive reinforcement is key when teaching your Dachshund new commands.
