Questions & Answers
A Dachshund is a breed of dog that originated in Germany as a hunting dog. These low-to-the-ground, long-bodied dogs are often mistaken for their much larger relatives, the Basset Hound, due to their resemblance. However, Dachshunds are much smaller and possess a more compact frame. They have a unique, short, sturdy appearance that can come with both short and long hair. The larger of the two, the standard Dachshund, averages between 16 and 32 pounds.
Managing allergies with Dachshunds can be done by limiting contact between yourself and your pet. Petting and cuddling your Dachshund may need to be avoided and consider transferring tasks, such as bathing and grooming, to another person with fewer allergies. It is also important to keep the house tidy and vacuum weekly to reduce the amount of allergens in the air. Try to create an allergy-friendly environment in your home by using hypoallergenic bedding and furniture, air purifiers, and allergen covers on pillows and mattresses.
Dachshunds should not be fed bones, cooked or uncooked; they can splinter and cause serious harm to the dog. Dachshunds should be kept away from foods containing high amounts of fat and salt, and certain types of treats, since they are small in size and can be easy to overfeed. Fried foods, chocolate, and food with artificial sweeteners can be toxic to Dachshunds. In addition, processed foods such as hot dogs and sausages should also be avoided since they are lacking in real nutrition and can cause digestive issues.
Yes, Dachshunds do have some special requirements to consider when selecting one as your new pet. To begin with, they’re considered a high-energy breed that loves to run and play and should be taken on regular walks and exercised accordingly. They also need appropriate dental care to help prevent and combat gum disease and other oral health issues. Additionally, they are prone to obesity so a regular diet should be closely monitored and supervised. Grooming is also important especially for their long-haired coats to avoid tangles or mats.
Dachshunds come in two sizes, according to the American Kennel Club (AKC): standard and miniature. The standard size is classified as 16-32 pounds and 8-9 inches tall. The miniature variety is 11 pounds and 5-6 inches tall. Generally speaking, the standard size is suitable for households that have sufficient outdoor space, while a miniature Dachshund is better suited for people who live in smaller homes or apartments. No matter which size you choose, a Dachshund can offer a lifetime of loyalty, affection, and joy to its owners.
Absolutely! As long as your Dachshund is a young and healthy pup, there's no reason they shouldn't go on a fun run with you. However, the key to success is slowly introducing your pet to more vigorous activity and not going overboard too soon. Overworking them too quickly can cause physical and emotional damage. Before investing in running gear for your pup, you should consult with your vet to ensure your pup is healthy enough for running. If they give you the go-ahead, consult with a certified animal behaviorist to learn the proper running technique for your Dachshund.
Generally speaking, Dachshunds can make great pets for first-time owners, as long as the owner is aware of their unique needs. Dachshunds are lively and can be stubborn, so they will require an owner who is consistent with their training and patient when handling them. They are also quite social, so they need plenty of love and attention. Additionally, potential owners should be aware that Dachshunds have a predisposition towards certain health issues, and should ensure their Dachshund receives regular vet check-ups.
The amount of time you need to spend training Dachshunds each day will depend on their individual temperament and how old they are when you begin training. Generally speaking, it is important to provide consistent training sessions for a few minutes each day for optimal results. Try to keep the sessions shorter than 10 minutes and aim for at least two to three of them per day. Give positive reinforcement when your Dachshund achieves the desired behavior and use a calm, upbeat, and patient attitude to encourage your Dachshund to learn.
