Questions & Answers
Dachshunds may be small, but they have a big personality! Here are a few fun facts about this beloved pup breed. Did you know that Dachshunds were originally bred to hunt badgers? They were even called “Dachs Krieger” in German, which roughly translates to badger warrior. Dachshunds also come in unique coat patterns such as dapple, brindle, and sable.
Managing allergies can be a difficult task when owning a Dachshund. However, with the right steps, it is possible to keep allergic reactions to a minimum. One of the most important precautions is to avoid triggers, such as pollen, molds, furry insects, and other environmental factors. Additionally, brushing and grooming your Dachshund on a regular basis helps to remove pet dander and can reduce the allergen count in the home.
When it comes to feeding Dachshunds you should be aware of foods that can cause internal blockages or irritate their long Digestive system such as: table scraps, onions, garlic, avocado, dairy products, grapes, raisins, macadamia nuts, chocolate, alcohol, mackerel, salty snacks, rawhide, fatty or sugary foods, fruits with seeds and any bones (including cooked bones). Always make sure to provide your pet with a high quality and appropriate diet to keep them happy and healthy.
Preparing your home for your new Dachshund can be an exciting task. First, make sure to create a safe, comfortable, and stimulating environment for your new pup. This means blocking off any dangerous areas and providing adequate toys, chew items, and bedding for your four-legged friend. Second, keep all food items out of reach, as Dachshunds are known to be resourceful eaters. If you provide foods for your pup, clearly distinguish between people food and pet food.
Dachshunds are a very small breed and as a result, they have a standardized size. This breed comes in a standard size, as well as a miniature size. With the standard-sized Dachshund, they can range anywhere from 8 to 9 inches in height and 16 to 32 pounds in weight. The mini-sized Dachshund typically ranges from 5 to 6 inches in height and 10 to 12 pounds in weight.
As a general rule, it is recommended that you walk your Dachshund for 30 to 60 minutes a day, depending on their age and health. For a healthy adult Dachshund, 30 minutes of walking will help to keep them active and sufficiently exercised, whereas 60 minutes of walking helps to build muscle, encourage healthy weight management and can reduce potential for boredom-related behavioral issues. Additionally, the number of walks required can vary on different days and should reflect the individual's energy levels. We all know how quickly their enthusiasm for walking can become exhausted.
Dachshunds are an excellent breed for families. They are loyal, affectionate, and can be easily trained. Though they may not be the most active of dogs, they still require regular exercise. Dachshunds are also great watchdogs, alerting their families to strange visitors or noises. This is especially true if the breed is raised with the family, it will be more bonding and protective. They are entertaining, love children, and can even live in apartments or small homes peacefully.
Training a Dachshund may seem easy due to their small size and adorableness, but Dachshunds are a type of hound, known for their stubbornness and tenacity. As with any dog, training a Dachshund requires consistency and patience; this includes teaching basic obedience training and house-training. Training should be done according to your Dachshund's temperament and energy level. The most important thing to remember when training a Dachshund is to be consistent and to be aware of their particular personality traits.
