Questions & Answers
Dachshunds are quite a unique breed. For starters, they were originally bred to hunt badgers and were nicknamed 'the badger dogs' in Germany. The long and short-haired varieties were bred separately the long-haired beared the name 'Rauhhaar' meaning 'rough hair.' Additionally, Dachshunds are also quite intelligent. They are easily trained to obey commands and can be very adaptive to their situation. Furthermore, Dachshunds usually become affectionate family pets with a lot of personality and charm.
Managing allergies with Dachshunds can be done using a variety of strategies. First, you should ensure your Dachshund is groomed regularly and bathed frequently with hypoallergenic products that are formulated specifically for dogs with skin sensitivities. Additionally, it is important to vacuum your home often, keep the windows closed, and use proper bedding and bedding covers to reduce airborne allergens. You can also try using air filters, humidifiers, and dehumidifiers to further reduce the dust exposed to your pet.
Dachshunds benefit from a balanced diet of specialty dog food that contains the right combination of protein, carbohydrates, and fat per the size and age of the dog. If feeding them human food, it's important to choose lean, unseasoned meats (like skinless chicken or turkey). Protein sources like raw or cooked eggs, cottage cheese, and yogurt are also beneficial for them. Vegetables such as green beans, carrots, and sweet potatoes can be added in limited quantities. Fruits like apples and blueberries offer additional nutritional value but should be given in very small portions.
One of the best ways to become the best puppy parent for your Dachshund is to be prepared for its arrival. Make sure to get supplies like food, bedding, toys, leash and collar, and a proper traveling crate. Do as much research as you can on the breed and talk to other owners to get advice on the best approach for caring for your Dachshund. Set boundaries with your Dachshund, providing plenty of positive reinforcement. Monitor its behavior and be consistent with training to help it learn what it can and cannot do.
Dachshunds come in two sizes, standard and miniature. Standard dachshunds typically weigh between 16 and 32 pounds and typically stand 8 to 9 inches tall at the withers. Meanwhile, miniature dachshunds are typically 11 pounds or less and stand 5 to 6 inches tall. Both sizes are considered a small breed and are perfect for smaller homes and apartments. No matter the size, all dachshunds are known for their long, low body and long ears.
Generally speaking, a Dachshund should receive around 30 minutes of daily exercise. This should be broken into two walks for 15 minutes each, or a 30-minute walk and some daily play. The two 15-minute walks will give your pup time to go potty and get adequate exercise while in between each walk they won't be overly restless. Additionally, when the weather is nice, letting your Dachshund explore and romp in a fenced-in yard or on a secure patio can be just as beneficial as a walk.
Dachshunds can be a great option for first-time pet owners. They are known for being loyal, affectionate, and intelligent, making them easy to train. They are small dogs, so they tend not to be imposing and can fit into most living environments. They may need occasional trips to the groomer since their coats can take some special care. They are also pretty independent and can adjust to new owners quickly, which is perfect for first-time owners who might not have as much experience with pet ownership.
It really depends on what you are trying to achieve with your Dachshund training. Some basic commands such as sit, stay and come usually only take a few minutes each day, whereas teaching more advanced behaviors could take closer to 45 minutes. You should also consider the age and activity level of your Dachshund when deciding how much time to dedicate to training each day.
