Questions & Answers
Dachshunds are a hugely popular breed of dog known for their short, sausage-like bodies and long ears. They're lively, outgoing, and can make a great family pet. Here are a few fun facts about Dachshunds: Dachshunds range in size from the "miniature" to the "standard" and they typically come in three coat varieties – short-haired, wire-haired, and long-haired.
It is possible that you may experience allergies when living with a Dachshund, however, this isn't a guarantee. Allergies vary from person to person and depend on the individual’s sensitivity to pet allergens, their general health, and the environment in which the pet lives. A Dachshund’s coat has been described as low-shedding by some, but their body still produces dander (pet dandruff) which can cause allergic reactions.
It is best to avoid feeding Dachshunds certain types of food. They should not be given discarded human food, table scraps, or anything that contains caffeine, chocolate, raisins, or grapes. These are all potentially toxic substances, and can cause a Dachshund to become seriously ill. Additionally, avoid giving them food that is overly salty or fatty, as this can lead to an upset stomach, pancreatitis, and even obesity.
To become the best puppy parent for your Dachshund, it is important to provide your pup with a lot of love and attention. Additionally, it is important to provide them with adequate nutrition and exercise. Feed your Dachshund the correct amount of food for their age and activity level. Be sure to keep up with their vaccinations and regularly visit the vet for check-ups. Additionally, it is helpful to provide interesting toys, a safe and comfortable bed, and plenty of opportunities for play and mental stimulation. Develop a schedule for feeding, exercise, and grooming.
Dachshunds come in three sizes; Standard, Miniature, and Toy. Standard Dachshunds are typically between 16 and 32 pounds and usually about 8-9 inches tall at the shoulder. Miniature Dachshunds typically weigh between 11 and 16 pounds and are approximately 5-6 inches tall at the shoulder. Finally, Toy Dachshunds are the smallest of the three and usually weigh between 6 and 9 pounds and are about 4-5 inches tall at the shoulder.
Dachshunds require a moderate amount of exercise to stay healthy and fit--at least one hour per day. Regular daily exercise like leash walks, running, swimming, and fetch are great ways to get them outside and active. Depending on breed and age, Dachshunds may require more or less exercise. Puppies naturally have more energy and if not burned off, can become hyperactive, which can lead to behavioral issues. Obese or overweight dogs also require more exercise for weight control.
Dachshunds can make great family dogs. They tend to be loyal, loving and affectionate with their family members and bond well with children. Dachshunds are usually low maintenance in terms of grooming and can accommodate to most lifestyles, from those who are active to those who just want a companion for couch time. As long as they are socialized from a young age, Dachshunds can be great with other people and pets, too.
Training a Dachshund can be a rewarding experience, however, this breed of dog does require patience and consistency to build good behavior. Dachshunds have very strong opinions and opinions of their own which means they can be stubborn especially when it comes to certain behaviors. Effective training requires regular practice and consistency so that the Dachshund can form strong associations with certain behaviors. When training, it's important to use positive reinforcement such as treats, verbal praise, or playtime as a reward for the desired behaviors.
