Questions & Answers
Dachshunds are incredibly interesting and unique dogs. They come in a variety of sizes, coat colors, and patterns, from the standard size all the way down to the adorable miniature size. Although they are slightly smaller, these dogs have a huge personality they are brave, spunky, and quick to make their opinions known. As hunters, they have an innate ability to find and flush out small game. What sets them apart from all the other breeds is their uncanny sense of smell. They are also great companions: friendly, happy-go-lucky, and loving.
Every individual is different when it comes to allergies. For some individuals, it won't matter whether they own a Dachshund or any other breed; while others may be extremely allergic to any pet dander. It would be best to consult with an allergist to determine if Dachshunds may cause allergic reactions. It is also possible to lessen the presence of pet dander in the home with regular cleaning and a few other steps which may help reduce the risk of an allergic reaction.
Yes, Dachshunds do have special dietary needs that should be taken into consideration. Dachshunds are a small breed, and can often be prone to overeating, so diet moderation is key. Small, frequent meals with foods specifically designed for a small breed's digestive system is recommended. Dachshunds are also known to have sensitive stomachs, so wet food varieties with additional fiber content are preferable. High-quality, protein-rich foods are ideal, as well as foods free of preservatives and artificial flavoring.
Becoming the best puppy parent for your Dachshund will require lots of time, patience, and commitment. To begin, research and educate yourself on your breed's temperament, health needs, and other characteristics to become knowledgeable about how to best provide for your pup this knowledge can be found online, from books, or your veterinarian. As your pet grows, focus on positive reinforcement and teaching them basic commands. Spend time playing and exercising with your dog because mental stimulation and physical activities go a long way in keeping them happy and healthy.
The size of a Dachshund puppy will depend on which coat type you have short-haired or Wirehaired. Generally, Short-haired puppies can be anywhere between 8 to 9 inches in height, while the Wirehaired variety will be both longer and heavier at 9 to 12 inches. Of course, the weight of a pup will fluctuate as it grows, but you can generally expect your pup to be somewhere between 16 to 32 pounds, depending on how it grows and which breed type you choose.
Sure! As long as you remember to keep your pup on a leash and to monitor them for signs of exhaustion or heatstroke, taking your Dachshund running can be a fun and exciting way to exercise together. Dachshunds have great stamina and can be surprisingly quick, so it's important to make sure you don't push them too hard. Keep your runs short and take regular breaks to give your furry pal a chance to cool down and rest. Make sure to not run on hot pavement or in the midday sun and always provide plenty of water for your pet.
Generally speaking, Dachshunds have a great history of getting along with children. They have a whimsical, playful personality and their size makes them appealing to children of all ages. With proper socialization and training, most Dachshunds are able to bond with children, developing a close relationship. While Dachshunds are often a lovable and loyal breed, they can become easily overwhelmed, so slow introductions and supervision are recommended when introducing any pet to a child.
Training your Dachshund is a rewarding experience, requiring patience and consistency. Start by establishing yourself as the leader in every situation. Use a quiet voice and stay calm if your dog behaves in an unacceptable manner. Ensure they understand clear commands, such as 'sit' and 'stay' repetition is key. Reward positive behavior with treats and verbal praise, and offer guidance when they become distracted or disobedient. Be sure to give them enough exercise and break up lengthy training sessions with play. Familiarize yourself with their behaviors and needs, and build an environment where they feel safe and comfortable.
