Questions & Answers
Dachshunds are an intelligent breed of dog with a loving personality. They are also known as the sausage dog because of their long, low body and short legs. Dachshunds are lively companions who are loyal and affectionate towards their owners. They make wonderful pets but can be difficult dogs to train. It is important to have patience and offer positive reinforcement when training them.
Managing allergies with Dachshunds may be challenging, but there are ways to reduce exposure to allergens. The first step is to ensure each Dachshund is groomed regularly. This includes brushing and bathing, and trimming nails to reduce the dander it carries on its fur and nails. Vacuuming regularly will also help remove dander, hair, and other airborne allergens. Keeping Dachshunds out of the bedroom, using high-efficiency particulate air (HEPA) filters, and using allergen-proof mattress and pillows is also recommended.
As a small-breed dog, Dachshunds need a diet that is tailored to their size and activity level. It's important to choose a high quality dog food that uses quality ingredients and is appropriate for your Dachshund’s age and life-stage. When possible, look for a dog food made with real meat, healthy fats, and carbohydrates, as well as a good balance of minerals and vitamins. Omega fatty acids can help maintain healthy skin and coat, and added glucosamine can help support joint health.
Before bringing home your new Dachshund, there are several steps that you should take to ensure your home is prepared. Make sure your home is puppy-proof by removing any items that may pose a choking hazard or that the pup might be tempted to chew. Set up a safe and comfortable “playroom” for your pup and make sure that any stairs are blocked off so there is no risk of them falling. Invest in a crate for your pup to call home and provide a soft and comfortable bedding area.
Absolutely! Dachshunds, often referred to as "wiener dogs" due to their hot-dog-like shape, are generally considered to be small-sized dogs. They typically weigh between 16 and 32 pounds, with a height between 8 and 9 inches. Recognized as one of the smallest breed of dogs, Dachshunds are a great choice for people who want a furry companion in a small package. In addition to their small size, these curious pups are known for their big personalities and are great for families looking for a loving, loyal pet.
Dachshunds are an active breed and require regular exercise to stay healthy. An ideal level of physical activity for these dogs is around 30 minutes of moderate intensity exercises a day, such as jogging or playing fetch. To satisfy their energy needs, they should be taken out on daily walks around the neighborhood or may enjoy a visit to the local dog park. Mental stimulation is important, too, so make sure to provide plenty of psychological and physical stimulation like interactive games and toys for your pup.
Dachshunds can make excellent family pets, including with children, as long as they are socialized while young. These friendly, loyal breeds usually love people and enjoy attention. While their short bodies, long backs, and stubby legs make them adorable, they can usually hold their own with older kids who know their limits. Newer studies have even suggested that interactions with a dachshund pup can even improve a child's obedience, social behavior, and other related skills!
Dachshunds are a very intelligent breed of dogs that can understand and execute commands quickly and efficiently. They can make associations between behaviors and rewards, helping them understand instructions more quickly. They have an impressive ability to adapt to different environments and have an innate understanding of basic commands, such as 'Sit', 'Stay', and 'Come'. They can also be trained to perform a variety of tasks and tricks, which is a testament to their problem-solving skills. They are loyal, affectionate, and have a strong bond with their owners.
