Questions & Answers
Dachshunds are a breed of small, short-legged dogs with a long body and do well in both city and country settings. They are loyal, smart, and relatively easy to maintain. Some fun facts about Dachshunds include that they were originally bred to hunt badgers, they have an incredible sense of smell – even beating out the beagle in scent detection tests, they have a lifespan of up to 14 years, and that their long bodies make them excellent diggers.
Dachshunds, or "wiener dogs," may produce allergens that cause reactions in some, but not all individuals. Some may be allergic to the dander or fur, while others may have reactions to saliva or urine. It's not possible to know for sure if one will be allergic, as the sensitivity of individuals will vary, but the occurrence of allergies caused by a dachshund is rare. If you have concerns, you can always start with a dander-reducing weekly bath to help assess whether this type of pet is right for you.
Dachshunds are known for their cute personalities and lively activity, and their diet is a key part in keeping them happy and healthy. In order to provide a nutritious diet for your Dachshund, you should ensure that they are given a balanced diet of protein-rich meats, stainless steel-grade commercial dry kibble, and a variety of fresh fruits and vegetables. Protein-rich meats, such as cooked chicken or turkey, beef, or fish, are great sources of necessary energy for your dog.
Preparing for your new Dachshund is an important part of providing them a loving and safe home. Prior to bringing them home, you should create a safe environment inside and outside of your home. Create a safe sleeping area in a room that is away from distractions. Purchase a high-quality crate and properly size it, in order to ensure a comfortable space for your Dachshund. Have all necessary items such as food, toys and treats ready prior to their arrival. Make sure to purchase a collar and ID tags in case your Dachshund gets lost.
The eventual size of your Dachshund puppy can depend on various factors, such as the pup's gender, parents, and genetic history. Typically, a mature male Dachshund can weigh anywhere between 16 and 32 pounds, and can be anywhere between 8 and 9 inches tall. A female Dachshund, however, may weigh slightly less and be slightly shorter with mature weights of 11 to 16 pounds and an estimated height of 8 inches. Of course, much of the pup's exact size can't be determined until they have fully matured.
Dachshunds need at least an hour of exercise per day to stay healthy and happy. While their short legs make them appear less active than other breeds, Dachshunds still benefit from regular physical and mental stimulation. Taking your pup out for daily walks, jogs or off-leash romps in an enclosed area is the best way to give them the exercise they need. In addition to exercise, Dachshunds should also be given the occasional play session, either indoors or outside, to keep them curious and interactive.
Yes, Dachshunds are suitable for first-time owners. This breed can be quite entertaining, and they can be loyal companions that greet their owners with joy and affection. Dachshunds can easily be trained to obey basic commands, although patience is needed since they can be stubborn. They may need some extra attention since they get bored easily. Dachshunds also require basic grooming and regular exercise, making them reliable running or walking partners. They require minimal space, so they are suitable for people who do not have a yard of their home.
Dachshunds are known to be quite intelligent dogs! They can learn basic commands and tricks with relative ease and can quickly pick up on their humans' commands. As independent thinkers, they can be paw-sitively stubborn at times and first-time owners can often find this difficult to manage. They are often food motivated and treats can be an effective way to reward good behavior and train them. Dachshunds are highly social dogs and, due to their intelligence, can often form strong bonds with their humans and other animals.
