Questions & Answers
Dachshunds are the only breed of dog specifically bred for hunting badgers! Interestingly, they come in three size varieties, standard, miniature, and kaninchen (rabbit) and are actually more closely related to greyhounds than to small spaniels despite their similar shape. As well as being long-bodied and low-slung, they have shiny, wire-like coats and often possess incredibly courageous personalities. Dachshunds are also known to be very loyal and friendly companions, as they love their owners unconditionally and form very strong bonds.
Managing allergies with Dachshunds can be done in a few different ways. First, consider getting your Dachshund bathed regularly using a hypoallergenic shampoo to reduce the amount of allergens carried in their coat. It may also help to use an air purifier with a HEPA filter to reduce the amount of animal dander in the home. Additionally, regular vacuuming and dusting can help keep your environment free from allergens.
Dachshunds should not be fed any type of food that is high in fat, sugar, or salt, as a diet that contains these items can lead to digestive problems, obesity and other health issues. Additionally, keep in mind that Dachshunds are prone to dental disease, so anything that is hard-sided or crunchy should also be avoided. These foods can cause fractures in their teeth and put added stress on their internal organs. It is best to feed them natural foods such as lean meats, fruits, and vegetables that are low in sodium and sugar.
Providing the best care for your Dachshund starts with research. Learn about the breed's needs so you can provide your pup with a healthy diet, give it plenty of exercise and quality playtime, establish routine veterinarian visits, groom them regularly, provide mental stimulation, give it lots of love, and ensure their safety at all times. Make sure to keep your pup’s environment clean and comfortable; consider using an extra layer of bedding or purchasing a specially designed bed to give your pup the best sleeping conditions.
Dachshunds typically range in size from 8-9 inches tall at the shoulder, with a body length of 8-12 inches, and they weigh typically between 10-20 pounds. They come in three different coat varieties: Smooth Dachshunds, Wirehaired Dachshunds, and Longhaired Dachshunds. Cross-breeding and variation in genetics has increased size ranges, and it is not unusual to find larger dogs. It is recommended that potential owners confirm the size of their pup before purchase as standardization of size is not yet the norm.
Generally speaking, it's beneficial for Dachshunds to get roughly 30 – 60 minutes of moderate exercise each day. However, the exact amount of walking time should depend on the individual. Elderly Dachshunds may only need around 30 minutes, while younger ones may be capable of more. It's important to tailor exercise to your Dachshund's age and activity level as over-exerting them could have adverse health consequences. When walking your Dachshund, opt for frequent short walks that offer plenty of variety.
Absolutely! Dachshunds can make wonderful family pets. They are known to be playful, loyal, and easily trainable with an eagerness to please. Plus, they are incredibly smart and make excellent watchdogs. They have lots of energy and love joining in with the whole family, although they don't need too much exercise to be happy. Since they come in both short-haired and long-haired varieties, they are easy to groom either way as long as consistent brushing is done.
Training your Dachshund is an important task to ensure your pup has appropriate and desirable behaviors. It is typically best to begin training right away, as the earlier you start the better. Start by teaching your Dachshund basic commands such as sit, stay, come, and wait. These commands will help you maintain control and help your dog understand proper behavior. Also, be sure to continue with positive reinforcement. Stick to a consistent, patient, and rewarding approach with treats, cuddles and praise.
