Questions & Answers
Dachshunds, also known as 'weiners' or 'wiener dogs', are traditionally small and shorthaired dogs of German descent with long bodies and short legs. They were originally bred to hunt animals such as badgers, rabbits, and foxes. Nowadays, their friendly and affectionate personalities mean that they make great house pets. Dachshunds are brave and loyal, and truly enjoy spending time with their owners. They are lively, active dogs that require both mental and physical exercise to stay healthy and happy.
Managing allergies with Dachshunds can be difficult, but with the right approach it can be done. First, be sure to brush your Dachshund often. This will help reduce fur and dandruff in your home, which can both cause allergies. Second, make sure your Dachshund is up to date on its flea and tick treatments. Popular over-the-counter treatments are effective and can help keep flea and tick populations down. Third, vacuum often. Vacuuming can reduce dust mites, pollen and other allergens circulating in your home.
Dachshunds are typically omnivores, so their diet should include both a balanced dry or wet dog food as well as fresh vegetables, fruits and small amounts of meat. When introducing different foods to your Dachshund, be sure to do so slowly to avoid upsetting their system. Because Dachshunds are prone to gaining weight, it is important to monitor portions. Feeding a quarter to a half cup of kibble (once to twice a day as an adult) should be suffient for most Dachshunds, depending on their size and activity level.
Before getting a Dachshund, it is essential to purchase a few items to ensure they are able to safely and happily settle into their new home. A solid crate or kennel with a comfortable blanket is key to help them feel secure and relaxed. Additionally, since many Dachshunds are prone to obesity, you'll want to make sure their diet is strictly monitored with healthy treats, food, and water dishes. It's also advisable to invest in some chew toys to provide them with a proper outlet to clench their teeth and boost healthy behavior.
Dachshunds typically range in size from 8 to 9 inches when measured from the shoulder to the ground, and can weigh anywhere from 16 to 32 pounds. The standard size, referred to as a 'standard dachshund' typically weighs between 16 and 32 pounds, while the miniature or 'mini' variety weighs 11 pounds or less. It is important to note that puppies of the standard size can weigh many pounds less than the full-grown adult weight.
Dachshunds, for the most part, enjoy the water. Although they tend to have short legs, Dachshunds are surprisingly strong swimmers, granted they have the right introduction and supervision from their owner. Some Dachshunds enjoy swimming as part of their available activities, while others may need coaxing. Swimming can be a fun, physically healthy way for a Dachshund to exercise, while still cooling down from the summer heat.
Dachshunds are a friendly and loyal breed, and they can often get along wonderfully with kids. These dogs have a playful and energetic personality that are enjoyable for younger children, and they also possess a moderate temper that can make them easier to live with, allowing them to coexist well with young people. Generally, Dachshunds require early socialization and obedience training to teach them to behave appropriately around little ones. Additionally, they are quite social and don't mind being around kids, who often bring out the best in them.
Yes, Dachshunds are considered to be an intelligent breed of dog. Due to their strong hunting instincts, they usually have a natural curiosity and problem-solving ability which make them relatively easy to train. Additionally, studies have shown that the playful nature of the breed can lead to an eagerness to learn from their owners. As such, Dachshunds are generally intuitive pooches who are believed to possess the same amount of intelligence as some of the more popular breeds. Overall, they are deemed to be intelligent creatures with quick thinking capabilities that should be adequately exercised.
