Questions & Answers
Dachshunds are a small-sized hound breed that was bred centuries ago in Germany. They have elongated, low bodies and their coats come in smooth, long, and wire-haired varieties. Expertly trained Dachshunds are some of the most talented and most intelligent dog breeds, and they are often used in various field trials and events. They are very loyal and often bond very closely with their owners.
Dachshunds are not considered to be hypoallergenic, meaning that they do produce dander, which can be a major allergen for some people. The dander that these dogs produce is more concentrated than some other breeds, making them a higher allergen risk than other breeds that do not produce this dander. For those with allergies, it is important to know that Dachshunds will require regular grooming and vacuuming to reduce the dander concentration and minimize the allergic reaction.
Dachshunds should not be given any food that could cause them harm such as too many table scraps or fatty meats. They should also not be given raw eggs, as the bacteria inside can cause them to become ill. Additionally, they should not get foods such as onions, garlic, raisins, or grapes, as they are all toxic to the breed. Some sugary foods such as candy and cakes should also be avoided, and they do not necessarily need treats outside of their regular food.
One of the essential purchases you should consider when getting a Dachshund is a dog bed. Not just any dog bed though look for one that is specifically designed for Dachshunds, with firm padding and support to ensure your pup is comfortable. A quality leash and collar are also important so you can get them outside safely. Grooming supplies, such as brushes, claw clippers, toothbrushes, and dog shampoo, are also a must for keeping your Dachshund's coat and paws in tip-top shape.
Dachshunds typically range in size from 8 to 32 pounds, and are typically 8 to 9 inches tall at their shoulder. Very rarely, the larger size called standard-sized Dachshunds can reach up to 35 pounds. Generally, the size classification of a Dachshund is based on its weight rather than its height. These dogs have a broad chest and rear end, and their long bodies often require a great deal of exercise to remain healthy.
Dachshunds usually enjoy swimming, as this is a great way for them to exercise and cool off in warm weather. Although this breed has a short stature which can make swimming difficult, they are strong swimmers and some owners report that once their pup has plenty of practice, they really take to it. It is important when introducing swimming to any Dachshund to be mindful of their physical limitations and the real possibility of fatigue, joint pain or discomfort.
Dachshunds are known for their outgoing personalities and often get along with other pets such as other dogs, cats, and even small animals. While some may be more reserved or timid than others, when properly introduced and socialized, most Dachshunds are capable of forming strong, friendly relationships with their furry friends. With patience, consistency, and a bit of positive reinforcement, these dogs can potentially become wonderful companions and enjoy playing and cuddling with their new pals. Ultimately, getting along with other pets is a personality trait that varies from one Dachshund to another.
The amount of time that should be dedicated to training a Dachshund each day can vary depending on the individual pup's needs. Generally, though, it's recommended to spend about 15-20 minutes per day working on basic obedience, housebreaking, and socialization skills, such as teaching them the house rules or getting acclimated to their new home. More time should be spent on specific tasks or behaviors that require extra attention or patience to master. Stick to shorter, more frequent training sessions to keep your pup interested and to ensure you're getting consistent results.
