Questions & Answers
A Dachshund is a short-legged, long-bodied, and intelligent breed of dog. They are lively, active, and tenacious, and can be a great companion for families looking for a small pet. Dachshunds are also friendly and eager to please, and usually get along well with other dogs and cats. Their alert and curious nature makes them excellent watchdogs, and their independent manner and alert expression can often lead to hilariously amusing behavior.
Whether a Dachshund will cause you to have allergies depends on your individual sensitivity level to different animals. Some people may be allergic to certain dog breeds, including Dachshunds, while others may not. Each person's allergy triggers are unique. If you suspect you may be sensitive to dogs, the best way to determine if a Dachshund will be a trigger for you is by consulting your doctor and having allergy tests done.
Dachshunds are active little dogs with big appetites, so it's important to make sure they are receiving the right nutrition from their food. The best dog food for Dachshunds should contain high-quality proteins, grains, fats, fruits, and vegetables. Look for ingredients like chicken, lamb, turkey, whole grains, sweet potatoes, flaxseed, apples, carrots, and potatoes. Avoid food with added fillers, by-products, and artificial colors and preservatives.
Before getting a Dachshund, you should make sure you have all the necessary essentials such as a secure dog collar and a 6-foot leash for walking, a comfortable bed or dog crate, toys and chew items for play and mental stimulation, and a few grooming items such as a soft brush and nail clippers. You should also invest in quality food and water dishes, and make sure you research dietary needs beforehand. Don't forget to stock up on doggie waste bags too! Finally, it's important to have your veterinarian's contact information on hand in case your pup needs medical attention.
Dachshunds generally grow to between 8 to 11 inches tall and weigh between 16 and 32 pounds when fully grown. The size of your Dachshund puppy will depend on a number of factors, including its parent's size and the particular breed of Dachshund. Some breeders specialize in larger breeds while some have breeds that remain tiny even as adults. It's best to research the characteristics of the particular breed of Dachshund you're looking for to get the best idea of what size you can expect when they're fully grown.
While some Dachshunds may like to swim, it is not advised due to the breed's distinctive body shape. The long back of the Dachshund is not designed for a vigorous swim session, especially if the dog is not supervised. The risk of injury to the dog's spine is increased when engaging in swimming activities. Additionally, the Dachshund's protective coat does not generally dry quickly and can leave the dog vulnerable to skin irritations if it remains wet for too long.
Dachshunds are generally very friendly dogs with kids. They have a lot of energy, and that can make them a great playmate. Dachshunds typically enjoy games like fetch, tug-of-war, and other activities with children. They are also very loyal companions, often sticking close to the people in the family they love and trusting. They are not aggressive, and they do need to be socialized from a young age so they are comfortable with children and strangers.
Training your Dachshund is an important part of owning the breed. They can be quite stubborn, so consistency and patience are key when it comes to training your pup. Start by introducing basic commands such as sit, stay, come, and lay down. Practice these commands with your Dachshund in short, frequent training sessions. Praise and reward them when they comply, as positive reinforcement is the best way to encourage good behavior. It is also important to establish boundaries around the house and yard, so your pup knows what is and isn’t acceptable.
