Questions & Answers
Dachshunds are truly unique and interesting pets. From their long, low-to-the-ground bodies and short legs, to their expressive faces and loyal nature, there is a lot to love about these canine companions. Perhaps the most interesting thing about Dachshunds are their history and the numerous varieties that they come in. These dogs have been selectively bred since the 1700's in Germany and the original purpose of the breed was to hunt and dig out badgers and other burrowing animals.
Managing allergies with Dachshunds starts with understanding what the allergen may be. Allergens vary and can be caused by proteins in saliva or dander, airborne hairs or it could be dust mites or mold. If you suspect allergies are triggered by the Dachshund, one alternate would be to ask your vet to test the dog to determine the allergen. Reducing or avoiding the allergen requires lifestyle changes.
Yes, Dachshunds have special dietary needs due to their large appetite for fatty foods. For optimal health, Dachshunds should typically be fed high-quality proteins, sources of essential fatty acids, complex carbohydrates, and vegetables. Additionally, compared to other breeds, Dachshunds often require lower amounts of calcium and phosphorus levels in their food. To ensure proper weight management, portion control is essential, as Dachshunds tend to gain weight very quickly.
Before getting a Dachshund, you should buy a few essential items such as a collar and leash, puppy pads, food and water bowls, a dog bed, chew toys and treats, a brush, and a nail clipper. You should also put together an emergency first-aid kit that includes items such as anti-itch ointment, tweezers, bandages, flea and tick medicine, hydrogen peroxide, q-tips, and styptic powder.
Dachshunds are a small-to-medium breed of dogs, as they typically grow to be between 8 and 9 inches tall and weigh between 16 and 32 pounds. Dachshunds typically reach their full-grown size, which can vary depending on the breed, around the age of one year; however, their full body structure and weight may take a couple more years to fully develop.
Dachshunds were originally bred as hunting dogs, so while they usually don't have a strong affinity for swimming, many love to jump into the water and participate in activities like fetching objects from the pool. Some Dachshunds have even been blessed with the natural swimming ability of a champion! They may not be the best long-distance swimmers, but Dachshunds often find swimming to be quite enjoyable, provided their activity does not exceed their energy level.
Generally, Dachshunds get along well with other pets such as cats and other small dogs. Depending on the individual dog's temperament and upbringing, they may even share a home with larger breeds, such as Labradors and Dalmations. As long as introductions between pets occur carefully and gradually, and the owner is patient and present for the process, many Dachshunds can co-exist peacefully with other animals in one home. They usually respond well to positive reinforcement-based training, which can help reinforce behaviors with other animals in their environment.
As with any kind of training, the amount of time dedicated to training Dachshunds will vary based on the dog, the commands being taught, and the skill of the trainer. Generally speaking, a successful Dachshund training agenda could include up to 30 minutes of focused time several days of the week, totaling a maximum of around 120 minutes per week. Start with shorter sessions to get the dog used to the process and slowly increase the duration of training as the dog becomes more comfortable with the commands.
