Questions & Answers
Dachshunds are fascinating because of their unique physical characteristics and personality traits. They are a loyal and devoted breed, known for their courage and intelligence, making them an ideal family companion. They also have an unusual and distinctive body shape, with a long, narrow torso and short, stubby legs. This gives them a unique look that endears them to many, and makes them popular as pets. On top of their attractive physical traits, Dachshunds have a zest for life and a spunky personality.
Managing allergies with Dachshunds requires some careful consideration. Begin by visiting with your veterinarian to discuss potential causes of your allergies and whether switching to a hypoallergenic food or cleaning products could help. If your allergies stem from the dog itself, it may be worthwhile to look into dog breeds that are better suited to people with allergies, especially those that produce less dander. If your allergies are not severe and you prefer to keep the Dachshund, bathing them monthly and brushing and/or vacuuming them weekly can drastically reduce the level of allergens in the air.
Dachshunds typically have no specific dietary needs, however, they are prone to gaining weight. To make sure your Dachshund is eating a healthy diet, ensure they are given high-quality dog food that meets the required daily intake for their age and size. Avoid giving them table scraps as these are often high in fat and can lead to weight gain. Additionally, it is important to feed your Dachshund on the same schedule each day and feed them in a calm and quiet environment away from distractions.
Dachshunds do have some specific requirements for their care and nutrition, such as providing plenty of exercise and a high-quality diet. Additionally, while their small size gives them an edge in living in small spaces, they do require a larger space to play and explore. Dachshunds also need a fair amount of attention and love from their owners, as they are very social breeds. Regular brushing and grooming is important for their health, including clipping or trimming their nails. Dachshunds should also be taken to the vet for regular checkups to maintain their wellbeing.
Dachshunds are small to medium size dogs that typically weigh between 16 and 32 pounds. They come in three sizes: Standard, Miniature and Kaninchen (Rabbit Dachshund). The Standard size is usually the largest, measuring between 8 and 9 inches at the shoulder, weighing between 16 and 32 pounds. The Miniature size is usually the medium size, measuring between 5 and 6 inches at the shoulder, weighing between 8 and 11 pounds.
Generally speaking, Dachshunds enjoy swimming, however the breed’s long, low-slung body makes them more prone to water-related health complications than other water-loving breeds. If you enjoy swimming with your Dachshund, you will need to take extra precautions to ensure your pup stays safe. It's best to pet-proof your pool or any body of water they will swim in and make sure the area is safely secured. It’s also important to provide your Dachshund with their own dog-safe floatation device or life vest.
Dachshunds can typically get along well with other pets, as long as they're properly introduced and given ample time and space to get accustomed to one another. If socialized at an early age, Dachshunds usually display friendly behavior towards other animals including cats, horses, and goats. It's best to introduce pets to each other gradually and make sure there is enough space for each animal to explore and cohabitate peacefully. Regular walks together and playtime can also be helpful in creating a harmonious dynamic between different types of pets.
Training a Dachshund requires patience, consistency, and dedication. To start, create a comfortable space, free from distractions, in which to train. Familiarizing your pup with basic commands such as "sit," "stay," and "down" is essential for managing their behavior. When training, use verbal affirmations and positive rewards such as treats, play, and praise to encourage desired behaviors. Many owners find that breaking down a specific command into smaller steps, and rewarding success at each stage, is an effective way to help your Dachshund learn faster.
