Questions & Answers
Dachshunds are full of fun facts! Did you know they were bred in Germany to hunt badgers? They are often referred to as 'Doxies', 'Weiner Dogs', or 'Sausage Dogs.' They come in 3 varieties based on their coats smooth, longhaired, and wired. Additionally, they come in a variety of colors such as black and tan, chocolate, cream, and black and cream.
Managing allergies with Dachshunds requires a few different steps. First, if you think an allergy is causing a reaction in you or someone in your home, the best way to determine the cause is to visit an allergist for testing. Once the cause of the allergy is determined, it is important to consult with a veterinarian to create an allergy management plan for the Dachshund specifically. This may include limiting the amount of fur that the pup is shedding, not using certain cleaning products that may trigger allergies, and changing their diet to reduce common allergens.
When selecting the best dog food for Dachshunds, it's important to meet their whimsical needs for specific nutrition. Dachshunds need premium-quality proteins such as chicken, turkey, and fish since it helps provide energy and aids in maintaining healthy cells. Vitamin E, complex carbohydrates, and fatty acids are also important for Dachshunds since they can help support their unique structure and support a glossy coat. It's important to look for a dog food that has balanced levels of calcium and phosphorous to maintain healthy bones.
Before bringing home a Dachshund, it is important to purchase the essential items needed for your new pup. Make sure to have a good quality bed, leash, collar and ID tag, toys that are suitable for a small breed, doggy shampoo and brush, a crate, and plenty of healthy treats. Bowls for food and water are also necessary. A dewormer, flea/tick prevention, and any other necessary vaccinations that your vet may recommend should be taken care of for your new pup.
Dachshunds, also known affectionately as "wiener dogs," come in different sizes and can generally grow to between 8 and 9 inches at the shoulder. However, their weight fluctuates widely, from just a few pounds up to 32-plus pounds. Standard Dachshunds, which are the largest variety, usually weigh between 16 and 32 pounds. Miniature Dachshunds typically weigh between 8 and 11 pounds, while the toy variety are usually between 4 and 6 pounds.
Dachshunds may or may not enjoy swimming as it depends on the individual pup's attitude and coachability. That being said, most Dachshunds are not natural swimmers and tend to have shorter limbs that may not be the best for a stroke-like swimming motion. Some owners have found success in providing their Dachshunds with a life-jacket floatation device and slowly introducing them to the water. This may be helpful in getting them more comfortable with the sensation of swimming.
Dachshunds make wonderful family pets, as they are reliable and loyal companions. They form tight-knit bonds with their families and can be loving and gentle with children. They are known for being brave and courageous dogs, often displaying stability and resilience in the face of adversity. Dachshunds are also talented animals; they're naturally inquisitive and veracious learners, quickly picking up commands and tricks. Additionally, they require relatively low amounts of exercise, making them great for those who live in apartments and townhomes.
Training a Dachshund can be quite rewarding. It is important to begin by socializing your Dachshund puppy. Engaging in activities with other dogs and people can help your pet become more comfortable around others. Establishing a structured routine will also help your Dachshund understand their place in the home. Setting rules and providing consistent reinforcement will aid in creating the desired behavior. Additionally, praising your Dachshund after a job well done helps to reinforce positive behavior. You may also benefit from professional training classes.
