Questions & Answers
Dachshunds are often referred to as "sausage dogs" due to their long bodies resembling that of a sausage. They come in two sizes, standard & miniature, and three coat varieties: smooth, long or wire-haired. Did you know, Dachshunds have been used as hunting partners for centuries? They usually hunt badgers, and sometimes even wild boar! During World War I, they were used by the German military to pull supplies and carry messages into battle.
Managing allergies with Dachshunds can potentially be a challenge, as this breed may cause an allergic reaction in some people. To minimize the risk of an allergic reaction, you should keep the areas in and around the home clean and allergen-free. This includes regularly vacuuming and making sure to keep the coat of the Dachshund short and tidy so that loose dander won't be dispersed throughout the environment. Additionally, consider investing in an air purifier to reduce the amount of allergens in the air.
Yes, Dachshunds do have specific dietary needs. In general, owners should feed them premium dry dog food that meets their individual nutritional needs. Dachshunds may benefit from occasional canned dog food in small amounts as a special treat if the food meets their nutritional standards or as an occasional grain-free diet. It is also important to consider the amount of protein that a Dachshund's diet contains as they thrive on a higher level of protein than the average breed.
Before getting a Dachshund, it is important to consider some essential items. First, a collar and leash to keep your pup safe and secure when going outside. Next, a few toys to help keep your pup entertained and satisfied. Additionally, a solid, comfortable bed for your pup to rest in, as well as food and water bowls that are the right size for your pup. To keep your pup in top health, make sure to purchase vitamins and nutritional supplements to help with their overall well-being.
Dachshunds, commonly known as "weiner dogs," are not considered to be large canines. Although they are longer than they are tall, with an average height between 6-9 inches, an overall approximate length of 15-17 inches and a general weight range between 16-32 pounds, their size can be deceptive. Sometimes their unique look can be mistaken for larger breed standards when seen from a distance.
While many breeds are known for their active personalities, Dachshunds generally have longer bursts of energy, rather than being consistently high-energy. They do enjoy plenty of physical and mental stimulation, but they usually prefer to relax after playing. Dachshunds can be active for short amounts of time like going for walks or playing outside but in general they are more interested in taking it easy. They are happy to spend much of their time lounging and snuggling with their families.
Generally speaking, Dachshunds are considered to be friendly dogs and they tend to get along well with other pets. While exact compatibility issues may vary from individual to individual, they are known to form tight bonds with other animals. The key to successful compatibility with any other pet is proper introduction, socialization, and plenty of positive reinforcement. With patience and proper training, you can create an environment where Dachshunds and other pets can happily cohabitate.
Training your Dachshund is an essential part of having a well-behaved pup. It's important to start training when they are young so that they can learn the proper behaviors they need to know. Be sure to use positive reinforcement for a successful training session. Begin by teaching them simple commands like 'sit', 'come', and 'stay'. Make sure to give them treat rewards for correct responses. You can also invest in an obedience class to learn more advanced commands. Consistency is key. Each training session should be short and fun, and always end with praise or a reward.
