Questions & Answers
A Dachshund is a breed of dog known for its long, low body and short legs. Dachshunds are also known as wiener dogs, as they resemble a wiener or sausage dog shape. Depending on their color and coat, Dachshunds come in smooth, short haired, and wirehaired varieties. This breed has a long history, and some believe it can be traced back to ancient Egypt. This breed is incredibly loyal and makes a great companion pet for many owners.
Dachshunds are not generally considered to be hypoallergenic. Although they don't shed a lot of fur and might appear to be hypoallergenic, their dead skin cells are still shed in the form of dander. Dander is a common allergen for people who suffer from pet allergies. To further complicate matters, Dachshunds, like most other breeds of dogs, produce saliva that carries allergens and also drool. This can exacerbate allergic reactions in some people, even those who are not particularly sensitive to pet allergies.
Yes, Dachshunds do have special dietary needs. While they benefit from regular amounts of protein, fiber, and other nutrients like other dogs do, they require extra vitamins and minerals because of their propensity to gain weight. Additionally, because of their deep chested shape, Dachshunds may experience problems related to indigestion, so they should be fed high quality, easily digestible food that is low in fat, and preferably home-prepared by owners to ensure it is easy to digest.
Before getting a Dachshund, you should have a few essential items on hand. A collar with an identification tag is important for both safety and legal reasons. A crate or doggy den can help with training and provide a safe spot for your Dachshund when you're away. A high-quality food and water bowl are also essential for your pup's nutrition. Finding a good veterinarian and researching the right food and treats for your Dachshund's size and breed is important.
Dachshunds can be considered small or big dogs, depending on the context. Generally, they are considered toy-sized dogs with an average weight of just 16-32 pounds. However, within this breed, there are Standard Dachshunds, which weigh 15-23 pounds on average and Miniature Dachshunds, which weigh 11 pounds on average. Therefore, if we compare Dachshunds to larger-sized dog breeds, they would be considered small, but within their own breed, they can be classified either as small or big.
Dachshunds are active little dogs and need regular exercise to stay healthy and fit. Generally speaking, these pup companions need at least one to two moderately-lengthy daily walks as well as regular playtime. This combination of physical activity is essential for their breed as it helps to burn off excess energy, release mental and emotional tension, and keeps them physically and mentally stimulated. Additionally, it's essential to ensure that they maintain a healthy weight, as obesity can bring about a number of serious health issues for this breed.
Absolutely Dachshunds are wonderful for first-time owners! Their size makes them suitable for smaller spaces, and their personalities make them endearing companions. They are loyal and full of energy, encouraging regular playtimes, walks, and cuddles. Intelligent and somewhat independent, they are eager to please and eager to learn with proper training and socialization. While they can be a bit stubborn, patience and consistency can help teach them the rules. Their good nature and lively personalities make them excellent choices for first-time pet owners.
To train a Dachshund, begin by establishing yourself as the leader. They are used to being rather boisterous, so letting them know the human is in charge is key. Introduce commands gradually and consistently, teaching them sit, stay, and come when called. Praise and reward with treats when they demonstrate obedience to your command. To reinforce the commands, practice teaching the dog to walk on a leash properly. Dachshunds have a tendency to pull on the leash, so establishing the walk on a leash routine will help them learn proper commands.
