Questions & Answers
Dachshunds have been compared to the similar-looking, elongated salamander because of their sausage-like shape. A fun fact about Dachshunds is that their name means “badger dog” in German. Another interesting fact about this breed is that when they were first developed, they had long legs and were actually used to hunt badgers. Today they come in two sizes, standard and miniature, and are much smaller than their hunting counterparts.
Managing allergies with Dachshunds requires being aware of what triggers the allergic reaction, such as airborne allergens like pollen and dust, and taking steps to minimize exposure to these allergens. Vaccuming often, using a dehumidifier, and keeping windows closed can help control the allergens in the environment. Keeping the dachshund out of the bedroom and brushing them regularly can also help manage dust and pollen.
Dachshunds are known to have a specialized diet that needs to include a variety of different foods. Their diet should consist of high-quality dry kibble made specifically for their breed and size, as well as fresh fruits, vegetables, and a variety of treats (but always in moderation). Dachshunds should not eat fatty meats, rawhide, chocolate, or grapes, as these foods can cause them health problems if consumed. In addition to their food, Dachshunds also need access to plenty of clean, fresh water at all times.
Before getting a Dachshund, make sure you are well-prepared with the essential items needed for a happy and healthy pet. You will need a comfortable collar and leash, a well-fitting crate, food and water bowls, high-quality dog food, grooming supplies like a toothbrush, nail trimmers and soft bristle brush, a harness for car rides, toys, and plenty of treats. Have your veterinarian's contact information handy and set up an appointment right away upon getting your pet so they can be properly examined and introduce themselves to new environment.
Dachshunds are small to medium sized dogs and have been formally classified in the Toy or Companion breed category. Although small overall, these active and energetic dogs can attain considerable weight, such as the larger Standard variant that weigh in the range of 16-32 lbs and max out around 35 lbs. However, compared to other breeds the Dachshund still falls considerably short of being considered a large or giant-sized canine.
Absolutely you can take your Dachshund running! Owners of dogs in this breed often run with their canine companions as it is a great way to bond, get to know each other, and get some exercise. It is important to remember to go slowly and gradually build up the time and intensity of running together. Start with shorter runs at a slower pace and ramp up to longer times in the future. Be sure to provide your pup with regular potty breaks, water, and plenty of rest in order to keep them hydrated and healthy.
Dachshunds can make gentle and friendly companions for kids, as long as they are properly trained and socialised from a young age. As with most breeds, these dogs will need to get used to the presence and behaviour of kids if owned from a puppy, they should become used to this quickly, and happy interactions will eventually become the norm. When introducing a Dachshund to a larger family setting, it is important to provide a safe and structured environment.
The amount of time spent training Dachshunds each day will depend on the individual dog's temperament and level of experience. For puppies or inexperienced breeders, it is recommended to start with 10-15 minutes of training per day and then gradually increase the amount of time. More advanced dogs can handle longer training sessions of up to 45 minutes. Additionally, many dog experts suggest breaking up your training sessions throughout the day into shorter, 15-minute segments. This can keep the dog more engaged and motivated to learn.
