Questions & Answers
Dachshunds are small, long-bodied dogs that originated in Germany. They have short legs and an elongated body, and come in two coat varieties: smooth and wire-haired. Highly intelligent and self-assured, these dogs need companionship and mental stimulation. Dachshunds can quickly become devoted to their owners, are loyal and require consistent training. They possess an independent streak and a stubborn nature, which can make them challenging to train. Dachshunds require regular exercise but can be prone to obesity if overfed.
Generally speaking, Dachshunds do not cause an allergy reaction. However, as with all breeds, it is possible that an individual can be allergic to a particular dog. Certain breeds are more likely to cause allergies due to the type of coat they possess, which can harbor dust, pollen, and other common allergens. Dachshunds have a short, wiry coat that is usually fine-toothed, which may make them less likely to trigger allergies.
Dachshunds are typically given a diet that consists of high quality, dry dog food specifically designed for their size and activity level. They can also be given small amounts of canned food, meats and vegetables that have been cooked to a safe, digestible consistency. It's important to ensure that the food is balanced to provide adequate calories and nutrients for a healthy lifestyle. Treats should be given in moderation, as they provide more calories without enough vital nutrients.
Preparation is key when welcoming any new pet into your home, and Dachshunds are no exception. Make sure to provide them with plenty of toys and items to keep them entertained so they have something to enjoy when you aren't around. It's also important to buy some quality dog food, an appropriate-sized bed for them to sleep in, and some doggy treats. Before your Dachshund arrives, establish a habit of frequent walks and/or playtime for regular exercise, and research what kinds of food they are able to eat and their daily nutrition requirements.
Dachshunds typically reach a size of up to 8-9 inches in height and can weigh anywhere from 16-31 pounds. They are typically longer than they are tall, and while miniature Dachshunds often reach smaller heights, they are still proportionately long in comparison. Generally, Dachshunds do not exceed this height and weight range, but some individuals might be bigger or smaller. No matter their size, all Dachshunds boast a big personality and lots of enthusiasm.
Generally speaking, Dachshunds do enjoy swimming but usually prefer wading or shallow water. Swimming is a great way to ensure your Dachshund gets proper exercise and release his natural energy in a healthy manner. Dachshunds have a lower body-to-leg ratio than other dog breeds which makes them less buoyant. As a result, it is important for Dachshunds to be constantly supervised while in the water to avoid potential health concerns.
Dachshunds can make great companions for families with kids! Generally, these medium-sized dogs are very loving and loyal, which makes them a great asset for households that include children. They do require routine exercise, as well as regular grooming to keep their coats free of mats and tangles. Furthermore, it is important to provide the correct amount of socialization and discipline in order to ensure that your Dachshund is a well-mannered pup. With a great deal of patience and diligence, Dachshunds make ideal pets and playmates for kids of all ages.
The amount of minutes that you should train your Dachshunds per day can vary depending on a few factors. For example, a younger dog may need more dedicated daily training time than an older, more experienced dog. Generally speaking, however, it's important to set aside at least 10-15 minutes a day for training your Dachshunds. This should include reinforcement of the commands you have already taught your dog, as well as introducing and teaching new commands. Training your dog should be a positive experience, so it should be broken down into manageable chunks.
