Questions & Answers
Dachshunds are a distinct class of dogs that are bred in standard sizes and specifically for a number of different types of activities. This breed is a short-legged, elongated dog of the Hound family that is also referred to as a ‘sausage dog’ because of their long narrow profile. Dachshunds have been bred to hunt a variety of small game animals such as badger, fox, and rabbit, but can also be trained for other tasks like tracking, agility, and companionship.
Generally speaking, Dachshunds do not cause allergies. However, all dogs carry proteins that can trigger an allergic reaction in some individuals. Therefore, it's important to take certain precautions and be aware of the symptoms of pet allergies. Pet dander, which is the allergens that come from dog skin, hair, and saliva, can cause sneezing, coughing, watery eyes, and shortness of breath in allergy sufferers. It's also important to vacuum frequently and keep your living space as clean and free of pet hair as possible.
Yes, Dachshunds have special dietary needs. Dachshunds are prone to developing a condition known as Bloat, which can be caused by eating large amounts of food, drinking rapidly or eating only one large meal per day. As such, Dachshunds should be fed two to three small meals a day. It is also important to avoid giving Dachshunds fatty meats, sweets, and table scraps as these are not part of a balanced diet.
Before getting a Dachshund, it's essential to purchase the necessary supplies. First, you'll need a crate, bowls for food and water, a collar with an ID tag, a leash and harness for walking, puppy toys, and a bed. Additionally, it's beneficial to buy cleaning supplies such as stain remover, odor neutralizers, dog hair clippers, and brushing tools to help maintain their coat. You might also want to invest in a dog gate to keep them confined in a certain area.
The size of your Dachshund puppy will depend on a few factors, including their genetics, gender, and the type of Dachshund you've chosen. Typically, a miniature Dachshund will reach heights between 5 and 8 inches, while a standard can reach anywhere between 8 and 12 inches in their full, grown size. It's important to remember these measurements might not reflect the natural size of the puppy when they are still growing. As your puppy approaches adulthood, better estimations can be made when your pup reaches maturity.
Yes, Dachshunds are very active dogs. They love to explore and can have a lot of energy. One of the best ways to see this activity is on a long walk Dachshunds love to sniff around and explore as they walk. They also tend to be quite playful with their owners, and enjoy playing fetch, going for a jog, and even playing with other dogs. They are a breed that loves both physical and mental stimulation, and do well with both.
Generally speaking, Dachshunds are friendly and sociable and can get along well with other pets. That being said, the likelihood of them getting along depends on multiple factors, like if the Dachshund was socialized from a young age, its gender, the size of the other pet, the other pet's temperament and so on. To create a successful multi-pet household, it is important to socialize and familiarize the pets with each other slowly. Taking the time to do this helps reduce the likelihood of conflicts.
Training a Dachshund can be both difficult and rewarding. Like all breeds, Dachshunds have their own individual personalities and require an experienced trainer to help them learn. With patient and positive reinforcement, Dachshunds can learn basic commands and manners. Establishing a routine and consistency as early as possible is key with this breed, as it helps to build trust for your pup so they understand what is expected of them. Training a Dachshund is not easy, but with proper knowledge, dedication, and a lot of patience, it is possible.
