Questions & Answers
Dachshunds are a friendly and loyal breed, known for their playful personalities and adorable expressions. They are a medium-sized breed, that comes in two varieties based on their coat and size: Smooth Coats, which are usually 12-18 inches in length and Short-haired Coats, which are approximately 8-11 inches. Dachshunds are generally healthy, however, due to their long back, they are prone to disc disease. Regular vet check-ups are recommended to help prevent this.
It is not certain that a Dachshund is likely to cause allergies. Allergies can be caused by many factors, including dust, pollen, mold, and pet dander. Of course, any pet can cause a reaction to occur, but Dachshunds are generally considered low allergy pets. To be sure, it would be wise to observe yourself around a Dachshund and/or consult with an allergist to determine if you might be allergic before making the commitment of owning one.
Dachshunds should not be given any ingredients that are toxic to dogs, such as, chocolate, onions, grapes, and raisins, as these can cause serious health problems. They should also not be given cooked bones, as these can splinter and cause internal damage. In addition, Dachshunds should not consume high-fat, salty or heavily processed foods, as this can lead to weight gain and other health issues. Foods with a lot of sugar or artificial sweeteners should also be avoided as these can cause an upset stomach.
Making sure your home is prepared for your new Dachshund is an important step in getting them settled into their new home. Depending on the age and specific needs of your new pup, consider investing in a few supplies to ensure your house is safe and comfortable. Make sure you have an appropriate sized crate and dog bed to keep your pet comfortable. Don't forget to puppy-proof your home by investing in child-proof latches for cupboards and toiletry items. Establish boundaries and create a safe space with limited access to provide a place to nap or relax.
Dachshunds are a breed of dog that come in both standard and miniature sizes, so it all depends on how you classify "big". Standard dachshunds usually weigh between 16-32 pounds, so when compared to other breeds they may technically be considered of medium-size. At the same time, some miniature dachshunds can weigh as little as 6-9 pounds. In comparison to other breeds, including other similarly sized dogs such as the Chihuahua, the Dachshund may be considered as relatively larger.
Yes, you can take your Dachshund running as long as you adhere to a few important safety guidelines. First, keep in mind that Dachshunds are small, short-legged breed of dogs, and their short stature can mean that exertion and long distances should be avoided. Allow your pup to set the pace, and if they show any signs of fatigue, then take them for a slower stroll or rest break.
Dachshunds can be very rewarding for first-time owners due to their famously loyal and loving personalities. They tend to form strong bonds with their human companions and can provide a great deal of companionship. Dachshunds are also usually low-maintenance and easy to look after, needing only minimal grooming. They are relatively low-energy, although they still love to go for walks and short bursts of energetic play. They can also quickly learn basic training commands and house rules.
Training a Dachshund can be easy if you approach it with the right attitude and have realistic expectations. It pays to think carefully about the type of training you want to carry out with your pet, and having a plan in place where you set goals that can be achieved is very important. Patience and consistency are key when it comes to training any dog and a Dachshund is no different. Proper socialization and positive reinforcement both play a crucial role in training success, and taking time to get to know your pup is essential.
