Questions & Answers
Dachshunds are small-sized but loyal and energetic dog breed who crave human companionship. They were initially bred in the early 1800s to hunt badgers and they are sometimes referred to as 'weiner dogs'. They are intelligent, independent, loving and make excellent house pets. They're also relatively easy to groom and require minimal maintenance. Dachshunds usually live for around 12-14 years and reach an adult weight of 11-32 lbs. Additionally, they possess a strong sense of smell and good hearing so they can make good watchdogs.
It is difficult to predict whether or not a Dachshund will cause you to have allergies, as everyone reacts differently to pet dander. Some people may find that their allergies are worsened when in contact with this breed, while others may find that they are unaffected. It is best to speak to an allergist or your doctor to find out if you may be sensitive to dogs in general. Furthermore, it is wise to spend time around a Dachshund before committing to one as a pet, as this will give you an idea of how your body will react to living with this breed.
Dachshunds are known to have delicate stomachs, so you should avoid feeding them any food that is too rich in fat. Additionally, keep their diet free of grapes, onions, chocolate, and other potentially toxic foods. It's also important to avoid feeding them any type of raw eggs, uncooked meats, or bones (since these can cause severe medical issues). Furthermore, it's recommended to avoid giving them human food (such as candy, chips, and junk food) or table scraps, as these will not provide them with the right nutrients they need.
Preparing for a new Dachshund can seem overwhelming, but with the right steps taken it doesn't have to be. Begin by stocking your home with the items your Dachshund will need, such as a bed, food and water bowls, food, treats, toys, and grass or potty patch. Also, arrange for a veterinarian to provide all necessary vaccinations and check-ups. This is an important step in any pet's life, so you can be sure your pup is healthy. Next, have a plan in place for setting rules and boundaries.
The ultimate size of your Dachshund puppy will depend on whether you have a standard or miniature breed; a standard Dachshund will typically reach an adult size of up to 16 pounds, whereas a miniature will generally reach up to 11 pounds. That being said, the size of any breed at adulthood can vary due to genetics, nutrition, and health. During the puppy stage, ensuring proper nutrition with a high-quality diet high in nutrient-rich ingredients can lay the foundation for future and overall health, and aid in the growth and development of your pup.
While every dog is different and some Dachshunds may enjoy swimming, the breed is not known for typically being strong swimmers. Dachshunds are particularly well-suited for burrowing or tunneling and are identifiable by their long bodies and short legs, which gives them the ability to nearly run or hop through the ground. Because this strength is so beneficial for them on land, dogs of this breed do not generally swim to the same levels as other dog breeds.
Dachshunds can make good pets for first-time owners, however there are a few things to consider before committing to one. They are smart and loyal dogs and their size makes them generally easier to handle than larger breeds. It is important to remember that they can be stubborn and they have a history of back problems, so exercise and training are essential for their well-being. The breed is also usually quite active and needs plenty of daily stimulation. Due to their small size, Dachshunds can be more suited to apartment living and require less outdoor space than a larger breed.
Absolutely! Dachshunds are considered intelligent dogs, given their ability to learn quickly and obey commands. These active little canines enjoy varied activities and take great pleasure in challenging their owners daily. Dachshunds are also adept problem-solvers, often questioning their surroundings and attempting to negotiate their way out of situations. They are known for their ability to think independently and make decisions, and they are eager to please their owners.
