Questions & Answers
One of the most interesting aspects of Dachshunds is their physical build. They are a very short-legged breed, which gives them a very unique look; combined with their long, slender bodies, they resemble small rabbits hopping around, rather than a typical canine. They also boast a wide range of colors and coat types, from the traditional reddish-brown long-haired coat to smooth silky black and even white and spotted coats. Furthermore, the breed is incredibly intelligent and loyal, making them wonderful companions who can learn a variety of tricks and commands.
Dachshunds do not necessarily cause allergies in all people. Allergies depend on an individual's sensitivity to certain allergens, which are typically proteins found in dander, saliva, and urine produced by animals. Dachshunds are equipped with thick, double coats of fur which, when shed, can produce a lot of dander. They are not considered hypoallergenic, meaning they may cause more allergy symptoms than some other breeds. However, there are still steps that you can take to reduce your risk of an allergic reaction if you have one.
Dachshunds have small elongated bodies and short legs, so they need a food specially formulated for them. Generally, the best type of food for Dachshunds is that which contains high-quality, easily digestible proteins from fish or chicken, as well as low-fat carbohydrates like brown rice or sweet potatoes, and moderate fiber sources like pumpkin or oats. Additionally, choosing a food enriched with omega fatty acids can help aid in a smoother, glossy coat. It's important to feed your Dachshund frequent meals in smaller quantities throughout the day.
Preparing your home for a new Dachshund is a necessary step to ensure their safety and comfort. First, purchase a bed and create a comfortable space that your Dachshund can stay during the day. Next, select an area of the house for the Dachshund’s playing or running area and use fencing and baby gates to optimally define the space. Additionally, set some boundaries so that the Dachshund cannot access areas such as the kitchen or stairway railings.
Dachshunds are most certainly considered small dogs. With their long body and short legs they are significantly smaller than the average family pet. Though a full-grown dachshund typically only weighs between 16-32 pounds, they have been known for their big personalities. In plenty of cases, a big bark combined with strong pointing instincts make them appear larger than they actually are. Generally falling into the Toy, Miniature and Standard size categories, the dachshund is a recognized breed by nearly every kennel club.
An ideal daily duration of walking for a Dachshund ranges from 30 to 60 minutes in total. This should be split up into shorter walks throughout the day. If possible, try to get your Dachshund to exercise at least twice a day and, depending upon their age and size, aim for 30 to 60 minutes per day. It is important to monitor your Dachshund's activity level since they may need more or less depending on their overall health.
Generally, Dachshunds are friendly, playful, and affectionate dogs that respond well to positive reinforcement training. They tend to form strong bonds with their families and have a natural affinity for children. As with all dogs, it's important to introduce a Dachshund gently to a child and supervise their interaction. It's also important to teach children how to properly handle a Dachshund and not pull on its ears or tail, sit on it, or tease it.
Training a Dachshund involves patience and consistency. Firstly, it is important to create a positive and safe training environment where you and your pup can relax and have fun. Start teaching basic obedience commands, such as sit, stay and come. As an owner, you need to be patient and consistent and reward the good behavior with verbal praise or a treat. Additionally, it's important to practice recall exercises so your pup learns to come when called. Varying your training tools with things like agility practice, playtime or puzzles can help strengthen your pup's focus.
