Questions & Answers
A Dachshund is a small, short-legged breed of dog of the hound family. Developed hundreds of years ago in Germany, the Dachshund breed was originally bred to hunt badgers and other small burrowing animals. Dachshunds come in three different coats: smooth-haired, longhaired, and wire-haired. Dachshunds are affectionate and loving pets who are known for their intelligence, loyalty, and endearing personalities. They love to be included in activities, even learning tricks and playing fetch.
Managing allergies with Dachshunds can be very difficult since they have thick, double coats. Fortunately, there are a few things you can do to help reduce allergic reactions. First, commit to regular grooming of your Dachshund in order to reduce the amount of dandruff and allergens that accumulate on your pooch's coat. Vacuum often so you don't have a buildup of particles in the air. Wash your Dachshund's bedding, toys and other items regularly in order to keep them free of dirt and allergens.
Yes, Dachshunds have special dietary needs. It is incredibly important to provide them with a nutrient-dense, balanced diet to keep them healthy and happy. Since they are considered a small breed, Dachshunds can have unique dietary needs including digestible protein, fatty acids, fiber, and other vitamins and minerals. Dental health should be a priority as well, since Dachshunds are prone to problems such as gum disease, tooth decay, and even periodontal disease.
Preparing for a new Dachshund requires you to research and understand the breed in order to provide the best care. Begin with researching their unique size, temperaments, and special needs like socialization and potential back and joint issues. Once you are well-informed, prioritize your pup's physical and veterinary needs. It is important to get them spayed or neutered as soon as possible, as well as vaccinated and on preventative medication for fleas and ticks. Make sure to get a collar with an ID tag right away as well, just in case your pup gets lost.
Dachshunds come in a range of sizes, depending on the breed. Standard Dachshunds can weigh between 16 and 32 pounds, and Miniature Dachshunds weigh up to 11 pounds. For reference, standard Dachshunds can reach lengths of 8-9 inches at the shoulder, and mini Dachsies are usually 5-6 inches. In the UK, Dachshunds also come in a third size: the Canine Dwarf, which is essentially a miniature standard Dachshund that can weigh up to 4 kilograms.
Dachshunds generally enjoy swimming, although it may require a few gentle training sessions at first to get them properly acclimated. Generally, they do well with the exercise and stimulation that swimming provides. Most Dachshunds enjoy the water and will gladly take a dip, although some may be a bit more hesitant. With proper training and guidance, nearly all Dachshunds can learn to love swimming and benefit from the physical and mental benefits that this activity can provide. The key is to introducing them to the water slowly and making sure that they remain comfortable throughout the process.
Dachshunds are ideal family dogs due to their relatively small size, playful and alert nature, and loyalty to their owners. They have an excellent level of intelligence, companionship, and affection for all family members. Dachshunds are not only great with children, but they also can adapt very well to other pets in the home. They do well in apartments and homes alike since they don't require a lot of space. They also are relatively easy to train and will learn commands very quickly.
The amount of minutes per day you need to train Dachshunds depends on the individual situation and the goals you're trying to achieve. Generally speaking, these intelligent, independent-minded dogs respond well to positive reinforcement and consistency, so 10 to 20 minutes of structured training every day can be highly effective. If you aim to train for a particular performance event, like for competition, you'll likely need to increase that time to 30 to 40 minutes per day.
