Questions & Answers
Dachshunds are a fascinating breed and are full of fun facts that make them unique. For starters, the word "Dachshund" is German for "badger dog," which is why many feature their peculiar body shape that allows them to fit easily in and out of small, tight spaces like a badger's burrow. Historically, they were bred to hunt badgers and other small animals, so they're very brave and independent animals. Another interesting fact about them is that their long back can occasionally cause them to suffer spinal disc issues.
Dachshunds do not have the same level of hypoallergenic qualities as some other breeds, so they are not regarded as completely hypoallergenic. However, there are certain measures that can be taken to reduce the risk of allergy sufferers being affected by Dachshunds, such as regular bathing and brushing of the dog’s coat, as well as regularly cleaning and vacuum the space in which the dog resides. Additionally, some owners may also consider special diets to aid in reducing allergen levels.
Dachshunds require a nutrition-rich food that contains real animal proteins like chicken, beef, or fish. Look for a food that has high-quality ingredients, is low in carbohydrates, and does not contain any preservatives, by-products, additives, or fillers. It's important to consider your Dachshund's specific breed and age when choosing a food. Puppies need a food with more calories and more fat than adult Dachshunds do for optimal growth and development.
Dachshunds are relatively low maintenance as far as pet breeds go, but as with all dogs, they do have some special requirements. They can be trained to use a litter box, however, this can be quite tricky and it is best to provide them with regular access to going outside. They tend to be very active, so having plenty of opportunity for play and exercise is a must. When it comes to their diet, the best is to consult your veterinarian as to what food is appropriate for them. They may also require special dental care due to their tendency to develop dental problems.
Dachshunds come in three different sizes: standard, miniature, and kaninchen (rabbit). The standard size is usually 16-32 pounds and 8-9 inches at the shoulder; the miniature size is typically 11 pounds or less and 5-6 inches at the shoulder; and the kaninchen size tends to be around 6-9 pounds and 4-5 inches at the shoulder. The original Dachshunds of the late 18th and early 19th centuries were bred as medium-sized dogs, though modern variations have resulted in these three distinct sizes.
While some Dachshunds may enjoy swimming, it is not generally recommended for this breed. This is because the unique shape of the dachshund's body makes it susceptible to back problems, and the repetitive motions involved in swimming could further exacerbate any existing issues. Additionally, it is important to consider the dog's coat and particularly long ears when determining if swimming is a good activity for a Dachshund. A waterproof coat would help minimize the amount of time the dog needs to spend drying off, while also reducing any potential issues related to their long ears.
Dachshunds can form positive relationships with other pets in the home, particularly when both pets have been raised together and are socialized with one another from an early age. Proper training and positive reinforcement can also help Dachshunds get along with the other pets in the home. It is important to monitor interactions between Dachshunds and other pets to ensure that no harm or aggression occur. Dachshunds can be territorial, so may require separate living areas for themselves and the other pet in the home.
The amount of time required for training a Dachshund varies drastically depending on the individual dog and its aptitude for learning. Generally speaking, it is recommended that you spend at least 15 minutes every day on continuing to train your Dachshund. Adding a couple of five-minute sessions throughout the day and then a longer session of 45 minutes on the weekends can also help your Dachshund excel in its lessons.
