Questions & Answers
Dachshunds are intelligent and friendly dogs that come in a variety of sizes. They are low to the ground and long-bodied, making them easy to recognize. Dachshunds are naturally curious and full of life, attributing to their popularity. Although they may be small in size, they are loyal and brave perfect for a companion. Dachshunds are remarkable escape artists, so it is important to always provide your pup with a securely fenced yard.
Dachshunds may be a trigger for allergies in some people, but generally speaking, they don't cause allergies. Allergies, especially pet allergies, develop over time as a result of exposure to certain allergens in the pet's dander and saliva. Therefore, if you have a genetic predisposition for developing allergies, you may find that you begin to have allergic reactions after being around a dachshund for a prolonged period of time. However, this is true for most breeds.
Finding the best food for your Dachshund can be a challenging but rewarding endeavor. Dachshunds are sensitive to changes in their diet, so it is important to find a food that meets your pup's nutritional needs. Generally, Dachshunds do well with a high-protein food with an appropriate level of fat and few fillers. Look for foods that are specifically designed for senior Dachshunds or for dogs with long backs. Many experts also recommend “grain free” foods or those with low-glycemic carbohydrates like sweet potatoes and lentils.
Dachshunds have generally healthy breeds, however, they do require certain special attention. For one, they usually require extra exercise and are prone to gaining weight easily, so strict diet and exercise plans should be enforced. It's also important to keep their nails trimmed since they don't naturally wear down from activities. Additionally, Dachshunds can be prone to knee problems due to their structure, making it important to prevent them from jumping off furniture. Additionally, it is important to make sure their ears are regularly cleaned to fight off any ear infections.
Dachshunds come in two sizes: standard and miniature. The standard variety typically weigh between 16 and 32 pounds at maturity and can be up to 8 inches tall. The Miniature Dachshunds generally get up to 11 or 12 pounds in weight and are about 5 or 6 inches tall at adulthood. Ultimately, your puppy's adult size depends on a variety of factors: diet, exercise, parentage, genetics, and the environment it's raised within. However, it's best to get to know your pup as it grows to determine its eventual size.
It is possible to take your Dachshund running, but there are a few factors to consider. Dachshunds have short legs, so may become tired quickly if you attempt to run too far. Start slowly and monitor your pet, watching for signs of fatigue. Consider the weather, too. Dachshunds can become overheated easily and cannot tolerate very hot temperatures, so running in warm weather should be avoided. As with all dogs, keep your pet well hydrated and provide regular bathroom breaks. Safety should also be considered when running with your Dachshund.
Dachshunds can be an excellent choice for first-time owners who are looking for an intelligent, devoted and spunky pup. This breed is a loyal and affectionate companion and is known for their powerful personalities and often comical outlook. Despite their small size, they are quite alert and can be very protective of their loved ones. Dachshunds are relatively easy to train with consistent and loving reward-based techniques, and they flourish when they receive plenty of attention. That said, they can be very opinionated and require plenty of Patience to work through any behavioral issues.
The amount of time that would be necessary to spend each day training Dachshunds depends on the age and behavior of the particular Dachshund as well as the goals of the training. Generally speaking, you should plan to dedicate at least 10 minutes per day to obedience training, although this number can be increased depending on the individual needs of both the pup and their owner. For puppies, or Dachshunds who are just beginning to learn the basics of obedience training, you will need to set aside at least 30 minutes to focus on providing commands and reinforcing positive behaviors.
