Questions & Answers
Dachshunds are certainly an interesting breed to look at! Did you know that their name is German for "badger dog" due to their skill at hunting badgers? They are a popular breed of the hound family, originally bred in Germany centuries ago. They have long, muscular bodies and short legs that help them move nimbly in tight spaces. Their short, stubby legs also make them great lap dogs that can be easily carried around.
Managing allergies with Dachshunds requires a number of steps. Living with a Dachshund means cleaning and vacuuming often, even if you have a non-shedding or low-shedding breed. Vacuuming can help reduce the amount of dander, a common allergen, that collects in your home. You should also wash your Dachshund at least once a month to keep their coat and skin healthy.
Dachshunds should not be given any type of food that contains additives, artificial sweeteners, or excess sugar, salt, or fat. Additionally, you should avoid feeding your Dachshunds certain types of human food, such as chocolate, grapes, onions, garlic, and any type of processed meats. Moreover, any type of raw or undercooked meat is also not advisable, as it can be a breeding ground for potential bacteria and cause gastrointestinal issues.
You should take the time to properly prepare your home for a new Dachshund. Begin by puppy-proofing your home; this involves going through each room to identify and address any potential hazards such as dangerous electrical wires or toxic cleaners. Similarly, provide your dog with plenty of chew toys, as Dachshunds love to chew and are prone to destructive behavior if not given the right outlet. Since Dachshunds are very social animals, make sure your house has plenty of places for your pet to rest and hide out.
Dachshunds are considered a mid-sized breed of dog and are usually between 8 to 9 inches tall at the shoulder. They typically weigh between 16 and 32 pounds if they are properly fed and exercised. Dachshunds come in two sizes, standard and miniature. Standard-sized Dachshunds can reach up to 11 inches tall at the shoulder. Miniature Dachshunds will stay under 11 inches and can even reach down to just 5 inches tall. Both standard and miniature sizes can be found with different coat colors, patterns, and lengths.
Absolutely! You can take your Dachshund running if they are up for it. Dachshunds have plenty of energy, so they generally enjoy running and outdoor activities with their owners. It is important to check with your veterinarian first and ensure that your dog is healthy enough to handle the activity. Be mindful of the terrain you are running on and make sure it is not too steep or rough that it could cause your Dachshund to get hurt.
Generally, Dachshunds are very friendly, gentle and loving dogs that can get along with kids, depending on the individual dog. With the right socialization, Dachshunds can be very bonded with kids, making great family pets. As with any breed, it is important to socialize puppies to children and ensure that children interact safely and respectfully with the dog, and the dog is taught canine manners. It is also important for children to understand that not all dogs want to play, so they must be gentle when meeting a dog.
Training a Dachshund requires consistency, patience, and a steady approach. First, starting with basic commands, begin teaching your Dachshund simple obedience exercises such as sit, stay, come, and heel. It's important to keep training sessions short and fun, using treats or a favorite toy as a reward. Additionally, expose your Dachshund to different stimulation, so they are used to doing different tasks. Firm commands and gentle guiding will help your Dachshund learn quickly. Remember, positive reinforcement is key when training. Reward desired behaviors and ignore undesired behaviors.
