Questions & Answers
Dachshunds are an incredibly loyal and independent breed of dog. As a small-sized breed, they tend to have an outgoing, confident personality that makes them great companions in the house. Their distinctive, short legs allow them to have a surprising degree of agility and they love to play. They are also known for their intelligence and can easily be trained. With their elongated bodies, Dachshunds are generally great diggers and outdoor adventurers, and their thick coat with a dense undercoat helps keep them warm in colder climates.
Dachshunds are prone to allergies, so it is important to understand how to manage them. To start, you should always monitor your pet for any signs or symptoms that may indicate an allergic reaction. Secondly, regularly brush and groom your pet to help reduce their exposure to allergen-causing substances such as pollen or dust mites. Additionally, consider using air purifiers and a hypoallergenic bedding and clothing material for your pet. Finally, you may need to consult with a veterinarian for more specific suggestions and treatment depending on the severity of the allergy.
Dachshunds should not be fed food that is high in fat, as too much can lead to health problems such as obesity and pancreatitis. Additionally, they should not be fed grapes, raisins, or any other type of fruit as they are all toxic to the breed, and may even be fatal if ingested. You should also avoid giving your Dachshunds certain human food items such as chocolate, onions, garlic, yeast dough, and macadamia nuts as these could all cause potentially serious health problems.
Before getting a Dachshund, it's important to have some essential items for them, such as a collar and leash, food and water bowls, bedding and a first-aid kit. Make sure to get a collar that's the correct size for your pup since too-tight collars can be uncomfortable and cause skin irritation, and a leash that's lightweight, durable, and comfortable for both you and your pup. Food and water bowls should be shallow and wide for easier access for your Dachshund, and bedding should be warm and cozy.
Dachshunds are not considered big dogs. Although their size may appear to be larger than most small-breed dogs, they generally stay within an average of 9 to 10 inches in height and 11 to 22 lbs in weight. Dachshunds are classified as standard, miniature, or toy breeds, which makes them one of the smallest dogs on the canine scale. They may be long and low to the ground, but they are nowhere near the size of a large breed dog.
Dachshunds are known for being energetic and feisty pups! Though their short legs may lead one to believe that they may not be as active, they do enjoy an enjoyable outdoor experience which can take the form of a short walk or playing fetch. Dachshunds have been bred for using their noses to track game, particularly badgers – so they are more than equipped to sprint alongside you on your daily adventures. They don’t need excessive activity, but they do like to entertain themselves with numerous walks and games each day.
Absolutely! Dachshunds, also known as "wiener dogs", are known for being loyal family dogs—especially with kids. They are friendly and playful, and typically get along great with people of all ages. Their small size makes them especially appealing for families with children as they are easy to manage, and provide parents with peace of mind knowing that their kids are safe around them. Dachshunds are also very intelligent, so they can easily be trained to good behaviors. All of these factors make them an ideal family pet!
Training a Dachshund can be a challenge as they are playful, mischievous, and energetic dogs that need a firm, consistent leadership to help them learn. With patience and understanding, however, it is possible to build a good bond with a Dachshund and instill good behaviors. Making training fun and setting clear boundaries and expectations from the start will help ease the process, as will consistent positive reinforcement and rewards when your pup displays the desired behavior.
