Questions & Answers
Dachshunds are an interesting breed of dog, especially due to their unusual body shape. Not only are they a delight to look at, but they have an endearing and unique personality as well. They are a very sociable breed that loves attention and thrives on affection. They can be very trainable and obedient if given the right instruction. They also have a great sense of smell, making them adept at hunting, tracking, and alerting to different scents and sounds. Plus, their durability is unmatched—they can dig and explore for miles without showing signs of fatigue.
Generally speaking, Dachshunds do not commonly cause allergies, however, it is possible. It is important to note that the source of dog allergies is in the dander or proteins found on the skin and saliva of the dog. Therefore, any breed of dog with hair or fur has the potential to cause allergies. Although Dachshunds have short fur, they do shed and this could cause allergies in people who are sensitive to pet fur and dander. To be certain, it is best to spend a bit of time with the breed before committing to one.
Dachshunds should not be fed anything rich, greasy, or salty, such as pork, beef, processed meats, or fast food. Foods like high-fat snacks, chocolates, sweets, grapes, raisins, macadamia nuts, raw onions, garlic, avocados, and mushrooms can also be unsafe for dachshunds. Additionally, adhere to portion control and always provide clean, fresh drinking water, as dachshunds are prone to digestive issues.
Yes, Dachshunds have certain care requirements to ensure they remain healthy and happy. They are sensitive to extreme temperatures both hot and cold and should never be left outside unattended for long periods of time. They are also quite active, and need regular physical and mental stimulation to avoid becoming bored and destructive. They should be taken on regular walks and provided with appropriate toys to prevent them from developing undesirable behaviors. Furthermore, due to their long, floppy ears, they're susceptible to ear infections, meaning their ears should be routinely inspected and carefully dried after bathing.
The size of your Dachshund puppy can vary depending on the specific breed. Generally speaking, an adult Dachshund can range from eight to nine inches tall at the shoulders and weigh between 11 and 16 pounds. However, some Dachshunds can reach sizes of up to 13 inches and 22 pounds. Depending on the parents' size, your puppy could reach any of these heights and weights. You can consult your breeder or veterinarian for more precise size estimates and details about growth rate.
Every Dachshund is unique and so their activity requirements will vary based upon their age, breed, fitness level, and any health issues. Generally speaking, a good rule of thumb is to provide your Dachshund with at least 30 minutes of moderate activity on a daily basis. This could include leisure walks, playing fetch, or setting up an obstacle course for a mental and physical challenge. For younger or more active Dachshunds, longer walks can be beneficial.
Dachshunds can be quite friendly and playful with children, but like any dog, careful supervision is always recommended. Generally speaking, Dachshunds are a great breed for children, since they are small-sized and require little exercise. As long as they are given love and attention, they can potentially get along very well with kids, and may even be considered a great companion. It's important to socialize your pup from a young age by introducing him to children and other dogs, this will help him become more comfortable around them.
Training your Dachshund should be done consistently every day; however, the number of minutes required each day will vary depending upon your ultimate goals. As a general guideline, about 10-15 minutes per day of training, which can be broken up into a few shorter periods, is usually an effective amount of time to focus on teaching your pet new behaviors and commands. Additionally, you should incorporate short mental-stimulation sessions of 5-10 minutes a day, such as playing hide-and-seek with treats, to help your Dachshund learn to think and problem-solve.
